  • XRP Rises as Japan Classifies Token as Financial Asset, Boosting Market Sentiment
    April 11, 2026, 11:29 AM EDT. Ripple's XRP gained to $1.35 after Japan's cabinet approved a bill classifying the token as a financial instrument under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. This regulatory clarity, set to take effect in fiscal 2027, reduces legal uncertainty for Japanese banks-over 80% of which connect with Ripple's network-and fuels investor optimism. XRP's market cap stood at $82.6 billion with a 26% drop in trading volume to $1.77 billion over 24 hours. Positive sentiment is also driven by potential U.S. regulatory progress with the CLARITY Act, expected in late April, which could facilitate inflows into crypto ETFs. Technical analysts point to cautious bullish momentum, with short-term trading between $1.30 and $1.40, and longer-term targets suggesting substantial upside. These developments position XRP for stronger institutional use and growth in cross-border payments.
