A document is circulating in the crypto community, and one line stands out. Amendment 77, submitted by Senator Elizabeth Warren, reads: “This amendment would strike the grandfather clause.” Crypto commentator Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) shared this amendment proposal, warning that the war on Ripple and XRP is not over. The drafted amendment shows Warren submitted over a dozen proposed changes to the CLARITY Act. Amendment 77 is the one the XRP community is watching most closely. The War On @ripple and XRP Isn't Over. This is a direct attack by @SenWarren on the Grandfather Clause In The Clarity Act. She wants all digital assets to be securities so her next Gary puppet can attack. pic.twitter.com/KED5bfzlg4 — Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) May 13, 2026 The Grandfather Clause The Grandfather Clause in the CLARITY Act protects established digital assets . It shields them from being retroactively classified as securities. For XRP, which spent years fighting the SEC in court, that protection carries enormous weight. Striking it removes that shield entirely. Warren’s amendment does exactly that. If Amendment 77 passes, XRP and other established digital assets lose their legislative protection. They remain exposed to securities classification under future regulatory enforcement. Warren’s List of Amendments Warren stood against cryptocurrencies for a long time, and the document reveals the scope of her opposition to the CLARITY Act. Her amendments target multiple provisions. Amendment 72 would establish anti-money laundering responsibilities for DeFi businesses. Amendment 73 would close what she describes as tokenization loopholes. Amendment 74 would keep what she considers risky assets out of retirement accounts. Amendment 75 would strike carve-outs for broad categories of assets. Amendment 76 would strike rulemaking that directs special treatment for crypto. Then comes Amendment 77. The pattern is clear. Warren is not making one isolated objection. She is working to dismantle the CLARITY Act’s most crypto-friendly provisions from multiple angles. Amendment 77 is the most consequential for XRP specifically. The Enforcement Risk Returns Digital Asset Investor’s post tied this directly to future SEC enforcement. He referenced “her next Gary puppet,” noting the regulatory enforcement that defined Gary Gensler’s tenure as SEC Chair. The Ripple lawsuit was the defining example of that era. It lasted years and cost significant resources before Ripple achieved a favorable ruling on XRP’s status.

The legislative protection that the crypto industry fought for could disappear. What Happens Now? The CLARITY Act is still moving through Congress. Warren’s amendments have not passed. The Grandfather Clause still exists in the current version of the bill . The fight is over whether it stays. The XRP community and Ripple now have a specific target to watch. Its fate in the legislative process will determine how much protection XRP carries into the next regulatory cycle.
