When former President Donald Trump announced plans for a U.S. Crypto Reserve in March 2025, the message was clear about his administration’s ambition to position the U.S. as a leader in digital assets.
Yet, among the assets named in his post, XRP’s position as the first on the list caught the attention of many crypto analysts, and continues to intrigue market participants who suspect a deeper connection between the president and XRP.
A crypto commentator known as BD (@DiepSanh) on X, who has spent extensive time studying Trump’s digital asset statements, suggested that the placement of XRP was intentional.
BD wrote that “the reason he mentioned XRP first isn’t random,” proposing that Trump’s team “was talking about XRP right before that post.” According to BD, this timing implies significance because “the brain always retrieves what’s most recent in memory.”
I’ve studied Trump’s post for 3 hours a day, 6 months straight. 🧠
Here’s my conclusion:
The reason he mentioned XRP first isn’t random. His team was talking about XRP right before that post.The brain always retrieves what’s most recent in memory. 🔥

Trump’s Directive and the Role of XRP
The post in question, shared from Trump’s Truth Social account, stated that a U.S. Crypto Reserve “will elevate this critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden Administration,” adding that his executive order directed the Presidential Working Group to advance a “Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, SOL, and ADA.”
This announcement came just before the White House released the official executive order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. Although the White House documents primarily focus on bitcoin as the core reserve asset, they also reference other digital assets held through forfeiture proceedings.

The inclusion of XRP in Trump’s announcement stands out. It suggests that his administration might be considering a wider range of cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, potentially incorporating assets linked to payment infrastructure and liquidity where XRP has a defined function.
Why XRP May Have Strategic Appeal
BD’s interpretation centers on timing and emphasis. If discussions about XRP indeed preceded the post, it could indicate that Trump’s advisors were weighing XRP’s potential utility within a government framework. XRP’s association with efficient cross-border payment systems may align with objectives to strengthen U.S. capabilities in digital finance and settlement technologies.
Although there has been no confirmation that the government has formally added XRP to its holdings, BD’s analysis suggests that it is under active consideration. The argument suggests that Trump’s reference to XRP could reflect an interest in assets with practical financial use cases, rather than merely speculative value.
