Okay, let's clear this up—because the internet is ablaze with rumors that Donald Trump has "blacklisted XRP." But before you panic or start brainstorming conspiracy theories, let's break down what actually happened.
The tweet that started it all
So, on March 2, 2025, Trump posted a sensational post on Truth Social (because that's what he did, of course). He talked about the idea of a U.S. "strategic cryptocurrency reserve"—essentially a government-backed cryptocurrency vault—and mentioned XRP, Solana, and Cardano as part of the plan.
He even criticizes Biden's crypto policies and promises to make America the world's leading crypto hub. Big talk, right?
But then... boom. The post disappears in less than a day.
Prepare for chaos.
The Sudden Turn: Was Trump Tricked?
There appears to be some drama behind the scenes. Rumors suggest Trump was fed the post by a lobbyist called Brian Ballard, who allegedly has ties to Ripple Labs (the company behind XRP).
When Trump found out? He was furious. Like, he cut ties immediately.
But does this mean XRP is now on Trump's blacklist?
### Reality Check
no.
There is no evidence that Trump has banned XRP or taken any official action against it. This seems more like a case of "excuse me, I was tricked into promoting something" rather than a major crackdown on cryptocurrencies.
Frankly, this isn't the first time Ripple has become entangled in politics. Its executives have met with Trump before, and the company has donated to pro-Trump groups. So all this? Maybe it's just political theater.
Meanwhile, on Twitter cryptocurrencies...
Attorney Yale Morgan (a well-known advocate for XRP) basically laughed this off with a brilliant tweet:
> "You know what. The SEC agreed to reduce the fine from $125 million to $50 million, and the SEC agreed to lift the permanent injunction. Yes, Trump is angry."*
Translation? Relax, guys. This doesn't change anything."
### XRP Price? Still Calm
Despite the drama, XRP's market performance hasn't slowed. Some analysts believe it's still a strong play this cycle. So unless there's an official announcement (which there isn't), it's all just noise.
baseline
- Rump tweeted in support of XRP, then deleted it.
- He may have been misled by a lobby linked to Ripple.
-No, XRP is not blacklisted - this is just political drama.**
The crypto world loves a good story, but don't buy the hype.
So unless Trump starts tweeting that XRP is a scam, sadly! Consider this just another day in the volatile world of cryptocurrency politics.
