Analyst: CLARITY Act On Delay, XRP, XLM & HBAR At Risk

What happened

Analyst Levi said the CLARITY Act, which could affect the regulatory status of XRP, XLM and HBAR, is delayed amid concerns about Federal Reserve rate hikes, oil‑related inflation and geopolitical uncertainty.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The delay keeps legal uncertainty for these cryptocurrencies, which can deter businesses from using them and limit investor confidence, potentially slowing adoption and price growth.

Analyst inference

Higher interest rates and rising oil prices can increase borrowing costs and inflation, while geopolitical risks add volatility, all of which pressure risk‑on assets like crypto tokens.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Any update from the Treasury or SEC on the CLARITY Act that could clarify the regulatory treatment of XRP, XLM and HBAR, affecting their market listings. Proposed
2. Federal Reserve policy signals; a rate hike could raise financing costs for crypto projects and reduce speculative demand. Proposed
3. Oil price movements; higher oil‑related inflation may erode real returns on crypto assets and shift investor allocations toward safer assets. Proposed
