XRP price edges up as Washington’s crypto bill draft and CPI loom
XRP rose about 1% to $2.06 in early premarket trading Tuesday, tracking gains in major tokens ahead of the U.S. December CPI release at 8:30 a.m. ET. Ripple urged the SEC not to conflate securities offerings with secondary-market trading as Congress debates new digital asset regulations. The Senate Banking Committee plans a markup on the market-structure bill later this week.
