CoinVoice has learned that, according to Politico, Trump posted on Truth Social on March 2 about 'advancing a strategic reserve for cryptocurrencies including XRP, SOL, and ADA,' which was actually driven by lobbyist Ballard Partners, without Trump's knowledge; lobbyist Ballard has been 'banished' from the White House.
According to informed sources, just minutes after the president's post, the White House's 'crypto king' David Sacks became furious, and soon White House officials realized that the XRP mentioned in 'Truth Social' was a client of lobbyist Ballard. Informed sources revealed that after the post about cryptocurrencies was exposed, White House staff were instructed not to meet with Ballard.
But those close to Trump say their dissatisfaction with Ballard goes far beyond that; some White House officials believe Ballard is exploiting Trump's name for profit. Politico reviewed the invitations to Trump fundraising events that Ballard received, as well as his phone records with senior Trump administration officials since the March incident, and there is evidence that Ballard has not severed ties with the White House.
