Let’s set the record straight—because rumors are flying that Donald Trump $TRUMP “blacklisted”$XRP . Before anyone panic-sells or fuels the conspiracy engine, let’s walk through what actually went down.

Where It All Began: A Truth Social Post

On March 2, 2025, former President Donald Trump dropped a surprise post on Truth Social. In it, he floated the idea of creating a U.S. cryptocurrency reserve—a national digital asset vault. Even more surprising? He name-dropped XRP, Solana $SOL , and Cardano as potential candidates.

He also took his usual swipe at Biden’s crypto stance and promised to make the U.S. the global capital for blockchain innovation.

But less than 24 hours later?

The post vanished.

Cue the chaos.

Behind the Curtain: Misinformation or Misstep?

Word is, Trump’s post may have been influenced by Brian Ballard—a heavyweight lobbyist with rumored ties to Ripple Labs (the company behind XRP).

Allegedly, when Trump found out about the Ripple connection, he wasn’t exactly thrilled. Some insiders even claim he iced Ballard not long after.

But let’s be real: that doesn’t equal a ban.

What’s Actually True?

Here’s the bottom line—there’s been zero official move against XRP from Trump or his team. No blacklist. No crackdown. No executive orders.

What this smells like is internal political drama, maybe Trump feeling like someone pulled a fast one. But not a policy decision.

Ripple has danced with politics before, including during the Trump era. This feels more like backchannel strategy gone sideways than any real threat to crypto.

Crypto Twitter Reacts

XRP community staple and legal commentator Bill Morgan chimed in with a side-eye tweet:

> “You are on top of things. The SEC agreed for the fine to be reduced from $125 million to $50 million and the SEC agreed to the permanent injunction being lifted. Yep, Trump is furious.”

Translation: Nothing burger.

Market Watch: XRP Stays Solid

Despite the noise, XRP’s price hasn’t flinched. Some analysts are still bullish on it this cycle. No formal statements, no regulation changes—just a weird news cycle.

To Sum It Up:

Trump posted (then deleted) pro-XRP content

There might have been Ripple-related influence

There’s no ban, restriction, or official backlash

This is crypto—there’s always drama

Unless Trump hops back on Truth Social to post “XRP is a scam—SAD!”, this is just another episode in the crypto soap opera.

What’s your take? Just hype—or is there more to it? Sound off in the comments.
