On 2026-03-05, according to The Shib Daily, U.S. President Donald Trump accused major banks of obstructing the Senate's crypto market structure bill by opposing stablecoin yield payments under the GENIUS Act. The law would permit regulated stablecoin issuance while banning issuers from paying yield directly, leaving third-party platforms to provide returns, and the FDIC has introduced a proposed rule to guide banks in applying to run stablecoin subsidiaries. Trump urged banks not to weaken the GENIUS Act or hold up the House's CLARITY Act, arguing cooperation with the crypto industry better serves U.S. interests.

Market analyst EGRAG CRYPTO stated on March 4 that XRP remains locked in a long-term descending channel and needs a weekly close above $2.20 to invalidate its bearish structure. They added that a weekly close above $1.55 would signal short‑term strength, while failure to reclaim this level could send the price toward $1.26 or even the $0.95–$0.85 support zone.

If XRP fails to overcome resistance near $1.4420, attention could shift back to supports at $1.420 and $1.4050.
