Tyler Winklevoss, one of the founders of Gemini, claimed that SOL, XRP, and ADA may not be “suitable for a Strategic Reserve” while arguing that only Bitcoin checked all the boxes.

XRP Could Fall by 24% as Positive Momentum Fades

XRP is down 9.8% in the past 24 hours while trading volumes have subsided and have currently declined by 41.8% during this same period.

Despite the setback, XRP remains the only cryptocurrency within the top 10 to display positive gains in 2025.

Other top crypto assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) are down sharply this morning, posting losses of 9.3%, 9.9%, and 14.8% respectively.

XRP has erased nearly all of yesterday’s gains after Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs triggered a broad sell-off in global markets.

The token had surged 40% over the weekend on speculation that it could be included in the U.S. strategic crypto reserve, but that momentum quickly reversed as risk assets tumbled.

Trump’s unofficial remarks about a U.S. digital asset stockpile—and the tokens that could be part of it—were also met with skepticism from industry leaders, further weighing on sentiment.
