United States President Donald Trump recently announced that the President's Working Group on Digital Assets has been directed to include XRP
The President did not mention Bitcoin
Trump previously promised to establish a "strategic national Bitcoin stockpile" at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee. Trump told the audience during his keynote speech:
"If I am elected, it will be the policy of my Administration — the United States of America — to keep 100% of all the Bitcoin the government currently holds or acquires into the future. We will keep a hundred percent."
"I hope you do well, at least. This will serve, in effect, as the core of the Strategic national Bitcoin stockpile," the President continued.
