Solana co-founder denies promoting SOL as a digital asset reserve for Trump, did Ripple promote it?
Donald Trump issued an executive order to establish a Bitcoin strategic reserve and a digital asset reserve including XRP, SOL, ADA, ETH, among others. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko expressed concerns that government involvement could lead to the failure of decentralization, suggesting that individual states manage their own reserves to mitigate potential federal government errors, and also believes reserves should have objective standards. There are rumors that Ripple might have reasoned that including XRP in the reserves would be more reasonable by adding SOL as part of the national reserves, to which Yakovenko responded to clarify his position. When asked whether Solana representatives proposed including SOL in the reserves and whether Ripple was pushing for XRP, he humorously stated that there is no Solana representative, no one has asked him, and he has not suggested this. As for whether Ripple is promoting XRP, the original text did not provide a clear statement.
