Legal expert Jeremy Hogan speculates on why the US government might include XRP in its potential strategic reserve. Hogan challenges the perception of government involvement in digital assets held by some Bitcoin enthusiasts, who argue that Ripple's large holdings of XRP pose a centralized risk. Hogan argues that these concerns are irrelevant to the government's perspective on a strategic reserve, which represents a stockpile of essential assets for economic reasons. He suggests that the government may see XRP as a hedge against future contingencies and may have better foresight about potential global economic shifts. Hogan also highlights the possibility of the government taking control of Ripple if it jeopardizes the XRP Ledger, similar to actions taken during World War II. The government has not yet decided on the creation of a national digital asset reserve or which crypto will be included, but a presidential working group is evaluating the risks and benefits of this initiative. Ripple is making moves to ensure a multi-asset reserve rather than one centered around Bitcoin.
