# **XRP Said to be Possible Placement in US Strategic Reserve**
US attorney Jeremy Hogan recently raised the possibility of XRP being included in the US strategic digital financial asset reserve.
Hogan highlighted a different perspective from the general discussion in the cryptocurrency community, focusing on how the federal government might assess digital assets in a broader economic and geopolitical context.
Not only that, Hogan also noted that much of the discussion about XRP in the crypto space focuses more on technical and governance factors, such as decentralization and validator selection. He argued that these aspects, while important, may not be the US government's primary concern when deciding whether to hold an asset in the reserve.
The strategic reserve consists of assets that are considered essential to maintaining national stability and security. Historically, these reserves have included commodities such as gold and oil, which serve as economic hedges in times of crisis.
Hogan suggested that if the US government decides to hold XRP, the decision would likely be based on its strategic value rather than its technical attributes as a blockchain-based asset.
