Trump’s XRP Inclusion in Crypto Reserve Raises Concerns Amidst Lobbying

President Trump unveiled a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, including XRP, in March 2025, sparking controversy over potential political influence. Sources suggest the move was driven by lobbying efforts rather than pre-planned strategic objectives. Key figures involved include President Trump and Maximilian Staudinger, who authored a document promoting XRP’s use, raising questions about possible manipulation. This decision has drawn scrutiny from government officials and market analysts, with implications for XRP’s market status and global perceptions of digital asset investments.
