$XRP

Recent speculation suggests the U.S. may seize Ripple’s XRP escrow to bolster national reserves, but legal experts have firmly denied this. Despite Ripple unlocking 1 billion XRP in June 2025, which fueled social media rumors, no official action or plan supports government appropriation. Attorney Bill Morgan refuted the claims, confirming the escrow is privately controlled by Ripple. Additionally, rumors of XRP’s use in the Federal Reserve’s FedNow system lack evidence. The escrow system helps regulate XRP’s supply and supports market stability. Investors should rely on verified information, not speculation, as Ripple’s regulatory status continues to evolve in the crypto space.
