Recent discussions within the cryptocurrency community on X have revived interest in Donald Trump’s involvement with XRP.
Amelie (@_Crypto_Barbie), a prominent figure in the community, reported that in 2018 and 2019, former U.S. President Donald Trump accepted XRP through the XRP Tipbot and also engaged in discussions about XRP and Ripple with his administration.
The XRP Tipbot, which allows users to send small amounts of XRP through social media platforms, was a notable feature within the cryptocurrency community during that period. Trump’s engagement with this tool suggests an awareness of and interest in the growing digital economy.
The relationship between cryptocurrencies and U.S. politics is becoming increasingly significant, with the 2024 presidential election spotlighting candidates’ stances on digital assets.
Among these candidates, Trump stands out for his support for cryptocurrencies. This early adoption and recognition of XRP highlights Trump’s openness to integrating digital assets into the financial landscape, even during his first term as President.
Ripple’s Engagement with the Trump Administration
Further adding to the significance of Trump’s involvement with XRP is the speculation that Ripple had discussions with the Trump administration as early as 2018. These conversations likely revolved around the regulatory environment for digital assets, a crucial topic for the cryptocurrency industry.
Ripple’s efforts to engage with U.S. policymakers show the importance of government support and favorable regulatory conditions for the growth of the cryptocurrency sector.
Trump’s willingness to engage with Ripple suggests he understood the potential of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. This early interaction could give an edge among cryptocurrency advocates in the upcoming presidential race, especially as the sector seeks clearer regulatory guidelines and broader acceptance within the financial system.

2024 Presidential Election Implications
As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, the stance of candidates on cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly relevant. Trump’s history with XRP and broader acceptance of cryptocurrencies make him a potentially favorable candidate for the crypto community.
His prior engagement with the XRP Tipbot and discussions with Ripple suggests a level of familiarity and openness that could resonate with voters who are invested in the future of cryptocurrency.
Trump’s apparent support for digital currencies could also pressure other presidential candidates to clarify their positions on cryptocurrency.
The increasing influence of the cryptocurrency community, which is becoming a significant voting bloc, may compel candidates to adopt more supportive policies to attract these voters.
Given that Trump has previously accepted cryptocurrency donations, it is evident that he recognizes the importance of this growing financial sector.
