July 18, 2025 — In a stunning turn for the crypto markets, XRP surged to $3.64 today, marking a 5% daily rally following the U.S. House's successful passage of the highly anticipated GENIUS and Clarity Acts. The legislative breakthrough, hailed as a new era for digital asset regulation in the United States, has reignited investor confidence and bolstered the adoption of blockchain-based technologies—including groundbreaking projects like CryptoTradingFund, which is rapidly rising as a leader in blockchain payment rewards.
CryptoTradingFund, which operates on the XRP Ledger and is building its infrastructure alongside Ripple, announced today that it has successfully onboarded global retail titans Amazon and Walmart into its pioneering payment rewards framework. Even while still in its beta phase, the platform has already processed over $2.23 million in transactions—proof of strong early traction and mainstream appetite for crypto-powered financial ecosystems.
At the core of this initiative is the CTF Token, the proprietary digital asset used within the CryptoTradingFund ecosystem. As the only blockchain-based payment rewards token of its kind, CTF has the potential to scale up to $3.66 trillion in market utilization, fueled by increasing retail adoption and its seamless integration with XRP’s high-speed, low-fee infrastructure.
The GENIUS and Clarity Acts—designed to provide legal clarity, define the classification of digital assets, and streamline crypto innovation—are being praised across the crypto community. Analysts are calling this the most significant regulatory green light since the inception of cryptocurrency, removing a cloud of uncertainty that has long shadowed U.S.-based blockchain companies.
“Investors are now seeing the pieces come together: regulatory clarity, real-world utility, and major corporate partnerships,” said blockchain strategist Karen Liu. “XRP’s price movement and the success of ecosystems like CryptoTradingFund and the CTF Token are signals that crypto is finally moving from speculation to application.”
As institutional money begins flowing back into the market and retail users gain access to integrated blockchain payment solutions, XRP’s path toward its all-time high—and beyond—seems more certain than ever. With the next legislative steps expected in the Senate, the industry watches closely as Ripple, XRP, and CryptoTradingFund lead what many are calling the second wave of crypto adoption.
