XRP News Today! U.S. Government's Crypto Strategy: A Game-Changer for XRP?

The U.S. government has unveiled its Digital Asset Stockpile, including XRP, Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana, but will not actively buy more. Could Ripple’s SEC fine be settled in XRP? Discover the latest developments and potential market impact.

The U.S. government is making significant moves in the cryptocurrency space, though not in the way many had anticipated. Recently, President Donald Trump confirmed that while the U.S. will not actively purchase more altcoins, it will maintain a stockpile of digital assets acquired through legal actions.

The United States Digital Asset Stockpile

This newly established U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile will include XRP, Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana. However, the government has explicitly stated that it will not be making additional purchases beyond assets acquired through legal proceedings.

This revelation has sparked considerable speculation, especially concerning XRP’s potential role in this reserve.

Could Ripple's SEC Fine Be Paid in XRP?

One of the most intriguing developments is the potential for Ripple to settle its $125 million SEC-imposed fine in XRP.

The company was recently fined for selling XRP without proper registration, and as part of the agreement, Ripple proposed placing the fine amount in escrow, a request that the SEC approved under a court-sanctioned deal. However, it remains unclear whether these funds are held in U.S. dollars or XRP.

Crypto analyst Yassin Mobarak suggests that since the government is establishing a digital asset stockpile, there is a possibility that the SEC may accept XRP as payment instead of cash.

If this happens, it would mark the first instance of the U.S. government holding XRP, potentially aligning its interests with the XRP community and reducing regulatory roadblocks for the cryptocurrency’s broader adoption.

Legal Perspectives on XRP as Payment

Legal expert Jeremy Hogan has weighed in on the possibility of Ripple settling its fine in XRP. He cites the 1869 Supreme Court case Willard v. Tayloe, which permitted contract settlements in gold rather than dollars.

Hogan argues that, under similar reasoning, Ripple and the SEC could agree to an XRP payment, provided that both parties consent.

However, a significant challenge remains: the penalty must typically be directed to the U.S. Treasury.

Yet, since the Treasury is overseeing the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, Hogan believes this could provide a legal workaround, potentially allowing Ripple to transfer an equivalent amount of XRP instead of cash.

Market Impact and XRP's Future

Should Ripple pay its fine in XRP, the implications could be profound. If the U.S. government officially holds XRP, it may have an incentive to support its value, which could lead to reduced regulatory pressure and greater mainstream adoption.

While no official decision has been made, this possibility has generated optimism among XRP supporters.

Bitcoin Gets the Spotlight, While XRP Remains in Limbo

Despite XRP’s inclusion in the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, the government’s primary focus remains on Bitcoin. Trump recently signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, underscoring Bitcoin’s role as a long-term asset for the U.S. government.

Meanwhile, XRP, along with other altcoins like Solana and Cardano, has been left in an uncertain position.

Analysts, including Tyler Winklevoss and Willy Woo, argue that Bitcoin is the only truly geopolitically neutral digital asset, akin to gold. Woo has voiced skepticism over the viability of a Strategic XRP Reserve, questioning whether other nations would be willing to transact with a U.S.-controlled XRP supply.

Market Reaction and Crypto Summit Expectations

Following Trump’s announcement, XRP retreated to $2.50 as investors awaited further clarification at the upcoming White House Crypto Summit.

The summit is expected to shed light on Trump’s broader strategy for crypto reserves and the potential role of XRP, Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana.

Meanwhile, a Polymarket poll places the odds of an XRP reserve being officially established at only 29%, reflecting widespread skepticism. Despite this, optimism remains high regarding the potential approval of an XRP spot ETF by the SEC, with odds nearing 80%.

Conclusion

Trump’s evolving cryptocurrency strategy represents a significant shift in U.S. policy, with Bitcoin emerging as the government’s preferred asset. While XRP and other altcoins may be included in the Digital Asset Stockpile, their future remains uncertain.

The upcoming White House Crypto Summit could provide further clarity, but for now, the market remains on edge, with investors closely watching for any unexpected policy shifts.
