In his recent interview, the CEO of Ripple Labs, Brad Garlinghouse, stated that he is optimistic that XRP will be included in the US Digital Asset Stockpile. During the interview with Bloomberg, Garlinghouse expressed his optimism about XRP’s future and said that the regulatory approval is the key to its adoption.
In March, Trump signed an executive order to form the Digital Asset Stockpile and a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. While XRP was not mentioned directly in the official order, there was a post on Truth Social by Trump that suggested it.
Garlinghouse has a high expectation that XRP will be in the stockpile, considering that Trump has publicly endorsed it and even attended the White House Crypto Summit. Garlinghouse also assumed that the US could get XRP for the stockpile through the seized property, and that would be easier.
Regarding XRP ETFs, Garlinghouse is optimistic that they will be approved by the SEC by the second half of the year 2025. With several XRP ETF applications, such as the one by Bitwise and Franklin Templeton, the co-founder is sure that they will be approved, which will increase the market presence of XRP.
Currently, institutional investors are showing interest in the digital coin while regulators are also coming up with policies that support the use of XRP. There is a lot of anticipation for the next step for XRP, as there is a lot of positive movement in its favor.
