Rumors swirling on social media suggest Donald Trump's March mention of potentially including XRP, SOL, and ADA in US cryptocurrency reserves may have been influenced by lobbyists. The initial claim, attributed to the X account Solid Intel, alleges a lobbyist group orchestrated the mention on Trump's Truth Social platform without his full awareness, leading to their subsequent exclusion by the White House. Following Trump's statement, skepticism arose regarding the feasibility of altcoin reserves. David Sacks, formerly the Trump administration's cryptocurrency lead, clarified that the mentioned altcoins (ADA, SOL, and XRP) were likely referenced due to their position among the top 5 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. While the initial source was unconfirmed, it's now been traced to a Politico report, further fueling the debate about the role of lobbyists in shaping cryptocurrency policy and Trump's understanding of the crypto landscape. The saga highlights the complexities and potential for misinformation within the rapidly evolving digital asset space. ```
