The post by JackTheRippler has created a new buzz in the XRP community when a video clip was released of President Trump explaining the necessity to modernize the aged financial systems in the United States. Trump focuses more on acceleration of payments and state-of-the-art crypto technology in the clip, a phrase that is very similar to long held statements by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse about cross-border transaction inefficiencies. Garlinghouse and the chief legal officer of Ripple, Stuart Alderoty, has contributed to the speculation.
Similarities with the Main Message of Ripple
XRP has remained the focal point of Ripple, that is, it is a bridge asset that makes international payments more efficient, cheaper and faster. Community responses were also rapid, and people on the pro side argued that this rhetoric is an indicator of an increase in acceptability of blockchain-based payment rails in the highest levels of government.
Although the exuberation has been high, there is no known public confirmation of the fact that there is an agreement or a done deal with XRP. It is not untrue that Ripple gained political visibility, such as by donating millions of dollars to the inauguration fund of Trump, which indicates greater interest among U.S. policymakers, but not necessarily its acceptance. Just like most other points in crypto history, narrative momentum is currently surpassing proven progress.
Implication of This on XRP in the Future
The episode indicates the sensitivity of XRP to regulatory and political indications. However, unofficially, the repetition of Ripple vision in statements echoing it supports the long-term utility story, which many holders think will eventually lead to an adoption. As it stands, the speech by Trump is another part of the current narrative of XRP, a narrative in which perceived signals, strategic conferences, and changes in regulations all keep the psychic of the market more than announcements.
