BREAKING: A lobbyist just tried to slip XRP into Trump’s “Crypto Strategic Reserve” list and all hell broke loose.
This wasn’t just a bad tweet. It was a glimpse behind the curtain. And it tells us everything.
In March, Trump posted about a federal crypto reserve including:
• XRP
• SOL
• ADA
No BTC. No ETH.
The crypto world blinked but didn’t know why. Now we do.
Turns out Ripple was a client of the lobbyist (Brian Ballard) who pushed the post.
Trump didn’t know. When his team found out, the White House crypto czar (David Sacks) lost it. Chief of Staff Susie Wiles got involved. The post was revised.
Why the freakout?
Because XRP being in that list wasn’t just symbolic it was a threat to the current crypto order.
XRP isn’t a coin. It’s a rail. Infrastructure. Liquidity plumbing. Settlement protocol.
Putting it on the list meant admitting the new system is already forming.
They tried to walk it back. But the signal already leaked:
• XRP’s name is circulating at the highest levels.
• Ripple’s inside the lobbying machine.
• And the future financial system is being chosen now—not later.
Don’t miss what they tried to hide.
