Trump Bans Lobbyist Over XRP Promotion

This action highlights the potential impact of lobbying and political connections on the cryptocurrency sector. While no official market delisting or blacklist targeting XRP has occurred, Ballard’s removal from Trump’s inner circle reflects the growing scrutiny around crypto promotion in politics.
