Expert Says Clarity Act Will Benefit XRP the Greatest. Here’s why

Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode), a software engineer and crypto pundit, recently drew the attention of the XRP army with a bold claim.

In a recent post, he told his audience that the picture is getting clearer. “It is becoming more and more obvious that the CLARITY Act will benefit XRP the greatest,” he wrote

XRP Stands to Gain Commodity Status by Law

The CLARITY Act, with its Senate markup scheduled for May 14, 2026, does something courts alone cannot do with permanence. It classifies XRP as a commodity through legislation.

Van Code made this distinction explicit. XRP “will be deemed a commodity by law, not just a court decision.” That shift matters to institutions. A court ruling can be appealed and reversed, but a statutory classification does not carry the same vulnerability.

Commodity status changes how banks, asset managers, and custodians can interact with XRP. It removes regulatory ambiguity that has kept institutional capital on the sidelines. The passage of the CLARITY Act gives financial institutions a legal safe harbor to operate with XRP at scale.

The Structural Case for Institutional Adoption

Van Code’s broader analysis points to a specific mechanism. Ripple holds billions of XRP in escrow. In a post-CLARITY legal environment, the escrow converts from a source of sell pressure into deployable liquidity. Ripple would seed Protocol-Native Liquidity Pools on the XRP Ledger, targeting pairs like RLUSD/XRP, EURCV/XRP, and JPY/XRP.

The liquidity pools on the XRP Ledger use a pricing formula that automatically adjusts as trades occur. Larger trades require deeper pools to execute without significantly moving the price. Moving $100 million in a single transaction with less than 0.1% slippage requires approximately $20 billion in pool depth.

At XRP’s current price near $1.47, funding that pool demands roughly 18 billion XRP. The total circulating supply cannot support that figure. At $10, the same pool requires only 2.7 billion XRP. The price rises because the pool structure mathematically demands it. This explains why XRP cannot remain at a low price.

Institutional Infrastructure Already in Place

The infrastructure supporting this thesis is not theoretical. Mastercard and Societe Generale, through the EURCV stablecoin, are already active on-chain.

SBI and Kiraboshi are in production testing for Asian remittance corridors. Ondo Finance, in coordination with JPMorgan, operates OUSG with $12.8 billion in TVL. These institutions are not waiting for technology. They are waiting for legal clarity.

The CLARITY Act provides exactly that. Van Code’s confidence reflects what the on-chain data already shows. The participants are positioned. The legal framework is the final variable.
