The article discusses the speculation surrounding Ripple's escrowed XRP and its potential to help offset the U.S. national debt. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has had conversations with President Donald Trump about blockchain technology and advocates for the creation of a U.S. strategic crypto reserve that could include XRP. Some believe that XRP could address the national debt if adopted as a strategic reserve, although its current value is not enough to offset the debt. XRP's price would need to rise exponentially for this scenario to become a reality. XRP holders, particularly those holding between 1,000 and 5,000 XRP, could potentially see substantial gains if XRP's price were to increase significantly. However, it is important to note that the idea of the U.S. using Ripple's escrowed XRP or establishing a crypto strategic reserve is purely hypothetical, and the government has not yet made a definitive decision on the matter.
