Ripple News: Trump's youngest son rumored to focus on XRP, experts support cryptocurrency adoption

Rumors have surfaced that Donald Trump Jr. may be considering purchasing Ripple (XRP), adding fuel to speculation about the token's growing popularity. Reports suggest that the Trump family may be preparing to invest in the Ripple ecosystem. If the news is true, it could signal strong support for Ripple's technology and its future role in the financial sector.

Experts see growing market interest in XRP

Sal Gilbertie, CEO and co-founder of Teucrium Trading, says the trend of large companies and institutions entering XRP and other digital assets is just beginning. He explained that Bitcoin, as the undisputed 'digital gold' and store of wealth, still leads the market. However, XRP stands out for its practical application in cross-border payments and financial services. As Ripple continues to build solutions for banks and payment service providers, Gilbertie expects more investors to see the long-term value of holding XRP.

The impetus of cryptocurrency on fiat currency

Gilbertie also believes that cryptocurrencies are not an alternative to traditional currencies, but a powerful complement. 'Everyone eventually has to convert their cryptocurrency into fiat currency,' he said, adding that digital assets enable individuals and institutions to increase wealth first and then convert it back to dollars or other national currencies. In his view, cryptocurrency is one of the most beneficial things to happen to the fiat currency system in decades.

Institutions turn to cryptocurrency allocation

Gilbertie says that more and more treasuries, businesses, and even wealthy individuals are rethinking their investment strategies. Given the strong performance of the cryptocurrency market in recent years, many are questioning why a portion of their reserves shouldn't be allocated to assets like Bitcoin or Ripple. He says it's 'foolish' not to diversify, given the potential upside.
