Mark Yusko, CEO of Morgan Creek Capital Management, has suggested that XRP may play a role in the future of U.S. crypto policy. Yusko mentioned that there is talk of expanding the strategic crypto reserve beyond Bitcoin to include altcoins like XRP, Cardano, and Hedera. He added that there is speculation that XRP could be used as the base layer for a central bank digital currency (CBDC) or for national banking infrastructure. The speculation gained momentum after reports indicated President Trump is considering signing an executive order to create a U.S. national reserve of digital assets, with a focus on domestic blockchain projects. Supporters see this as enhancing U.S. competitiveness, while critics believe it could undermine Bitcoin's global standing. Ripple has garnered attention for its discussions with key figures from the Trump team, and leveraging XRP for a CBDC or national banking system could have profound implications for the cryptocurrency market.
