Ripple Tried to Get XRP Into the U.S. Crypto Reserve via Solana
Ripple Labs reportedly lobbied the Trump administration to have XRP included in the official U.S. crypto reserve. The company sought government recognition of its token, which could have significantly boosted its legitimacy and adoption.
To strengthen its case, Ripple proposed adding Solana (SOL) alongside XRP, hoping that Solana’s growing reputation would make XRP appear more credible in the eyes of regulators. However, the initiative never gained traction, and XRP remained outside any official U.S. reserves.
This attempt highlights Ripple’s long-standing efforts to secure institutional acceptance, despite its ongoing legal battles with the SEC over the token’s regulatory status.
