The US SEC Classifies $XRP as a Strategic Asset, Updates Crypto Strategy

Twitter debates the legitimacy of the SEC documents..

Good morning America!

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially classified $XRP as a strategic asset!

On March 2nd, President Trump shared on Truth Social that his January executive order on digital assets would create a stockpile of currencies including Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana and Cardano.

After his executive order in January, things went quiet on the crypto front, making the March 2nd tweets all the more buzz worthy. But even so, we were truly starting to wonder if it was just going to fade away…

Until today!

On top of announcing XRP as a strategic asset for the US, the report, released late yesterday, shows the US government is preparing to launch a pilot program to integrate $XRP into major financial systems, including tax refunds and social security payments.

Buckle up kiddos, it's time!

The full report includes sections addressing the SEC & DOJ legal conflicts with XRP as well as a standard 24 month implementation plan and a “Clarification on Donald Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve Statement and Crypto Strategy”…

Based on this updated strategy, XRP would be used “[f]or state-level financial transactions, optimizing government payments and interbank liquidity.”

At the moment, the internet is currently debating if this document is real or not. I can tell you it was shared directly on the SEC’s website, as an official document. It also does say “by Maximilian Staudinger” on every single page, unclear as of yet who that might be.

What do you think?
