Rumors are circulating that the U.S. government may seize Ripple’s XRP escrow or use XRP as part of its national financial reserves. These claims gained attention on social media, especially after #Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRP. However, Ripple lawyer Bill Morgan firmly denied the speculation, stating, “No, it won’t.”
Some believe the idea isn’t far-fetched, drawing parallels to the once-unlikely approval of #Bitcoin ETFs. Meanwhile, claims that the Federal Reserve is using XRP via FedNow remain unconfirmed, despite Ripple technology being used by FedNow partner Volante Technologies.
As regulatory clarity on $XRP nears, speculation continues—but no official evidence supports these rumors.
