Tuesday digest, as of ~8:05 a.m. CT. **XRP $1.36**, near flat on the day, still soft after last week’s run toward $1.70. ([CoinGecko](https://t.co/VKwJAE4yn5)) Overnight is institutional, not a new SEC fight. Spot XRP ETFs are still taking inflows, Ripple’s September escrow unlock hit the ledger, and CLARITY cloture is two weeks out. **What moved** 1. **Sept 1 escrow unlock.** Ripple released 1B XRP in three finishes (500M / 400M / 100M). Active escrow tracked near ~31.28B after. Unlock is not a sale; net float depends on how much gets re-escrowed, and that is not independently confirmed yet. ([Bitbase](https://t.co/3pSWnEijDI)) — confirmed 2. **ETF bid is still there.** About $5.64M net inflow Monday, a 10-day streak. Last week’s $110.5M remains 2026’s strongest weekly haul. Cumulative net inflows cited around $1.66B–$1.8B depending on the snapshot. Price is not following the funds. ([Decrypt](https://t.co/Y4dXM4faQH)) — reported 3. **Bitwise XRP ETF crossed ~$500M AUM**, about nine months after launch. ([https://t.co/UviXM90Lsd](https://t.co/WyKSlFec79)) — confirmed 4. **Ripple + SettleMint in APAC.** Partnership pairing Ripple Custody with SettleMint’s DALP for regulated institutions issuing and holding tokenized assets in Asia-Pacific. No named clients or volumes. ([PR Newswire](https://t.co/l9XmtPdtcz)) — confirmed 5. **CLARITY Act cloture is Sept 15**, ~2:15 p.m. ET. That is a 60-vote test to start debate, not final passage, and it would not reclassify XRP by itself. ([FinanceFeeds](https://t.co/93n7TKQqil)) — confirmed 6. **XRPL lending still short of consensus.** XLS-65 / XLS-66 validator support still in the mid-30%s, well below the ~80% for two weeks needed to activate.
