Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse is sure that XRP will be added to the US Digital Asset Stockpile in near future. While speaking to Bloomberg in a recent interview, he mentions that with the end of Ripple’s case with the SEC, it’s all ready for XRP’s inclusion.

In February, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish the Digital Asset Stockpile and a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Trump’s Truth Social post hinting at XRP appeared to conflict with the order which didn’t mention XRP. Garlinghouse sees this as a good sign. In addition to that, he mentioned that Trump attended the White House Crypto Summit, which signalled his interest in digital currencies.
Garlinghouse believes that this money would suit the purpose and opines that the US government could insert XRP within the stockpile using the confiscated assets. It would be an easier way to build up reserves.
In addition, he is optimistic about XRP ETFs. US SEC have yet to approve several applications, some of which are by Bitwise and Franklin Templeton. He envisages the approvals happening by the second half of 2025. Because of this, he says, XRP will attract more institutional investors and the project will grow in the market.
However, with the SEC case behind them and positive signs from the government, XRP is now in bright times. Many investors and XRP supporters are now looking at it to be added to the US Digital Asset Stockpile.
