$XRP Explosive Allegation Ahead of the Summit: Ripple Pushes Solana Deal to Trump

A new and surprising claim has emerged regarding the cryptocurrency reserve announced by President Donald Trump on Sunday. According to a report from Unchained, Ripple Labs has been lobbying to have Solana (SOL) included in the reserve — with Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty directly involved in the proposal.

The report, which cites two unnamed sources, suggests that Ripple’s ultimate goal is to position XRP as a logical candidate for the reserve. By advocating for SOL’s inclusion, Ripple hopes to strengthen the case for a reserve made up of “US-linked tokens.” However, the announcement of the reserve has triggered confusion and even mockery, particularly because the initial list of assets includes XRP, SOL, ADA, and Bitcoin — raising questions about the selection criteria.

Solana’s Co-Founder Pushes Back

Meanwhile, Solana’s co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko voiced skepticism about the entire idea of a reserve. In response to Unchained’s story, Yakovenko stated, “If a reserve has to exist, it should be based on clear and objective standards. I don’t care what those standards are, as long as they are measurable and justified by payment functionality. Currently, only Bitcoin fully fits that description. If there’s a goal that needs to be met, the Solana community will work to meet it.”

Now, attention shifts to the crypto summit happening at the White House this Friday. Investors and industry insiders are waiting to see if there will be any updates or adjustments to the reserve’s composition. David Sacks, the White House’s lead on crypto policy, has hinted that more details will be shared at the event.
