🚀🚀🚀Fact Check: Has Donald Trump Blacklisted $XRP ? Here's What Really Happened🚀🚀🚀
Lately, there's been a swirl of rumors claiming that Donald Trump may have blacklisted #XRP. But what’s the truth behind the headlines? Let’s set the record straight.
🐋On March 2, 2025, 🇺🇲President Trump made waves with a social media post declaring support for a U.S. “crypto strategic reserve” that would include $XRP XRP, Solana, and Cardano. He used the announcement to slam the Biden administration’s crypto policies and vowed to make the🇺🇲 U.S. a global leader in the digital asset space. The twist? The post disappeared within 24 hours.
🐳According to multiple reports, the now-deleted post may have been drafted with the help of lobbyist Brian Ballard, who allegedly has ties to Ripple Labs—the company behind #XRP. Sources claim that once Trump realized the #XRP connection, he became enraged and severed ties with Ballard.
🐋But despite the drama, there's no official indication that Trump has blacklisted #XRP. There’s been no public statement, executive order, or policy move suggesting the asset is banned or under scrutiny by Trump’s camp. It seems more like a case of political confusion and frustration rather than a calculated move against XRP.
🐳It’s worth noting that Ripple has had connections to Trump-era politics in the past, including donations to Trump-affiliated committees and meetings between Ripple executives and the former president.
🐋$XRP continues to trade actively, and analysts still consider it a strong player in the ongoing crypto cycle.
Adding a bit of levity to the situation, crypto attorney Bill Morgan reacted to the news with humor on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “The SEC agreed for the fine to be reduced from $125 million to $50 million and the SEC agreed to the permanent injunction being lifted. Yep, Trump is furious.
🐳Bottom Line:
While Trump may have been caught off guard by the XRP reference in his post, there’s no evidence of any formal blacklist or ban.
