Ripple CEO Discusses Donald Trump’s XRP Special Mention

Crypto commentator John Squire (@TheCryptoSquire) recently shared a video highlighting Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s comments on the future of XRP in the United States.

In the interview from early 2025, Garlinghouse detailed how XRP could fit into the president’s vision for a national crypto strategy. His statements reinforce Squire’s point that when Garlinghouse speaks, the market should pay attention.

XRP Recognized by the President

In early 2025, the President announced the formation of the U.S. crypto reserve. Garlinghouse emphasized that Trump mentioned XRP on Truth Social. He stated, “He posted something saying that there should be other tokens, that there’s going to be a Bitcoin strategic reserve, and then a crypto stockpile that would include things like XRP.” This acknowledgment places XRP among the leading digital assets considered for inclusion in official U.S. holdings.

Clarifying the Executive Order

While the executive order did not explicitly name XRP, Garlinghouse emphasized his understanding of the broader plan. “There’ll be a crypto stockpile representing other cryptos, and I would expect that will include XRP,” he said. He noted the contrast with the previous administration, highlighting that Ripple now has access to White House discussions and policy insights.

ETF Confidence and the Digital Asset Stockpile

Garlinghouse expressed strong confidence in XRP-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs). He mentioned 11 pending ETF filings with the SEC from firms including Bitwise and Franklin Templeton. He predicted that they would launch in the second half of 2025. Notably, most of the products launched in late 2025 further reinforced Garlinghouse’s deep understanding of the crypto industry.

Regarding the stockpile, Garlinghouse clarified that seized cryptocurrencies, including XRP, could contribute to its holdings. “To the extent that various law enforcement agencies have seized cryptos, which would include XRP, those would go into the stockpile in addition to the Bitcoin strategic reserve,” he said. He emphasized that the final details would depend on Treasury implementation, but confirmed that XRP is expected to be represented.

Implications for the XRP Ecosystem

Garlinghouse’s remarks signal strong institutional recognition of XRP. Most of his statements have come true, and XRP has gained a more prominent role in global finance over the past year.

Being mentioned among national crypto stockpile assets and ETF launches has improved adoption and liquidity. His statements show that XRP is not only acknowledged but actively integrated into the U.S. digital asset strategy.
