The U.S. government is reportedly considering adding XRP to its strategic crypto reserve alongside Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). This move could legitimize XRP’s role in cross-border transactions and financial systems, given its utility in fast, low-cost international payments. The upcoming March 7, 2025, White House crypto summit may provide clarity on this decision. If XRP is included, it could boost institutional adoption and regulatory clarity, potentially driving its price higher. However, regulatory hurdles and competition with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) may influence the final decision on its inclusion in the reserve.
