Did Trump really just snub XRP? Here’s what actually happened.
Lately, everyone’s buzzing about how Trump supposedly blacklisted XRP. But before jumping to conclusions, let’s break it down.
What started the drama?
On March second, twenty twenty-five, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social about launching a US crypto reserve — like a digital Fort Knox. In that post, he named XRP, Solana, and Cardano. He also criticized Biden’s crypto policies and said the US should lead the world in crypto. Classic Trump move.
But the post disappeared the next day.
So what really happened?
Insiders say Trump might not have written the post himself. It could’ve come from Brian Ballard, a lobbyist reportedly connected to Ripple Labs. When Trump found out, he was angry and quickly cut ties.
Does this mean XRP is blacklisted?
Not at all.
There’s no ban, no official move against XRP. It looks more like a miscommunication or political shake-up than a real problem for Ripple.
XRP has been in talks with US lawmakers for years — this situation isn’t new.
What are people saying?
XRP attorney Bill Morgan pointed out that the SEC reduced Ripple’s fine from one hundred twenty-five million to fifty million, and the permanent injunction was lifted. He added that Trump is furious — but again, there’s no real impact on XRP.
And what did the market do?
Pretty much nothing. XRP held steady. Ethereum is still over twenty-five hundred dollars. Overall, the market remains positive.
Final thoughts?
Trump mentioned XRP, then deleted the post. A pro-Ripple lobbyist might have been behind it. XRP is not blacklisted. It’s just another round of crypto drama.
Unless Trump actually says “XRP is dead” in all caps, there’s nothing serious going on.
So what do you think — smart move or just social media noise?
