Recently, the potential inclusion of XRP in a U.S. strategic digital asset reserve garnered attention following an executive order signed by former President Donald Trump. This order seeks to develop a framework for digital asset regulation and investigate the possibility of creating a national digital asset stockpile.

Executive Order and Initial Discussions

The executive order establishes a working group to assess the future of digital assets in the U.S. According to Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett, the group aims to address regulatory clarity and consider creating a strategic digital asset reserve. Initially, it was believed that the reserve would primarily include Bitcoin, but discussions have broadened to consider other assets like XRP.

Criticism from Bitcoin Supporters

The idea of diversifying the reserve sparked criticism. Pierre Rochard, Vice President of Research at Riot Platforms, opposed the inclusion of XRP, claiming that Ripple and XRP pose a threat to a Bitcoin-exclusive reserve. He argues that Ripple's lobbying efforts undermine the administration's original goal concentrated on Bitcoin.

Ripple's View on Digital Diversification

Replying to Rochard's accusations, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that the company's initiatives aim to foster innovation and support American companies. Garlinghouse highlighted the importance of a diversified approach in any digital asset reserve, rather than limiting it to Bitcoin alone.

Our efforts increase the likelihood of a crypto strategic reserve, including Bitcoin.

Debates surrounding the potential inclusion of XRP and other digital assets in a national strategic reserve continue. The issue has spurred lively discussions between Bitcoin supporters and companies advocating digital asset diversification. The final stance of the U.S. administration remains to be seen.
