Trump’s Latest Crypto Power Play: How It Ignites Unprecedented Demand For XRP

Political winds shift, and digital asset markets brace for impact. A single policy pivot from a former—and potentially future—U.S. President sends shockwaves through the crypto ecosystem, putting one legacy token squarely in the crosshairs of institutional capital.

The Regulatory Thaw

Forget the regulatory winter. A new executive stance actively dismantles barriers, reframing digital assets from speculative gambles to strategic financial infrastructure. This isn't about gentle approval; it's a wholesale legitimization that forces traditional finance to pay attention or get left behind. Custody solutions, once a niche concern, become a boardroom imperative.

XRP's Bridge Moment

While newer tokens chase metaverse fantasies, XRP's decades-old utility as a cross-border settlement rail suddenly looks prescient. The narrative flips from 'security' to 'solution'—a compliant bridge for moving value at a scale that makes SWIFT blanch. Liquidity pools deepen not from retail FOMO, but from treasury departments seeking operational alpha. It’s a boring, beautiful case of being in the right place with the perfectly dull technology at the exact right political time.

The Institutional On-Ramp Opens

Watch the flows. When policy uncertainty evaporates, asset allocators move. We’re not talking about crypto-native funds here, but the pension giants and sovereign wealth vehicles that move decimal points for a living. Their entry doesn't create a spike; it builds a plateau—a higher foundational price floor that redefines 'baseline demand.' The ticking clock isn't on a halving event, but on the quarterly reporting cycle for major investment committees.

A cynical footnote? Of course. Wall Street always finds a way to repackage disruption into a fee-generating ETF, turning revolutionary tech into just another line item in a wealth manager’s brochure. But for now, the dam has cracked. XRP, the oft-maligned workhorse, might just be the vessel that carries the first real wave of institutional money into the digital age—proving once again that in finance, the best trade is often the painfully obvious one everyone spent years overthinking.

How Donald Trump’s Crypto Push Will Boost XRP’s Demand

In an X post, X Finance Bull shared a video in which Donald Trump’s crypto adviser, David Sacks, stated that banks will begin to adopt crypto once the crypto bill passes. The pundit noted that this means banks are already positioned, while Ripple has the stack and XRP has the liquidity, and the rails are in place. As such, he believes that the token will be the go-to crypto once these banks enter the crypto industry. 

X Finance Bull further mentioned that institutions that have been waiting over the past few years will return and announce their buys and use of XRP once Donald TRUMP signs the CLARITY Act into law. The pundit added that this moment resets who is early and that he never needed hype to hold the altcoin. “Research and study were always enough,” he said. 

X Finance Bull also questioned why market participants were panic-selling if banks are going all in once Donald Trump signs the crypto bill into law. The pundit’s statements come just as Ripple partnered with DXC to integrate the token and RLUSD into DXC’s Hogan core banking platform. 

The banking platform powers more than 300 million deposit accounts and over $5 trillion in deposits globally. As such, this is a major step in XRP’s adoption, as the partnership will integrate Ripple’s payment technology into large-scale banking environments.

Trump’s Tariff Move Will Also Boost The Altcoin

In another X post, X Finance Bull claimed that Donald Trump’s MOVE with tariffs will also boost XRP’s demand.  He shared a video of how the U.S. president said that $18 trillion is flowing into the U.S. economy thanks to these tariffs. The pundit asserted that such money flows put pressure on banks, payroll systems, FX rails, and settlement speed. 

X Finance Bull further noted that this creates nonstop cross-border payments and liquidity needs, and this is where Ripple and XRP come in. He explained that while old rails leak money, Ripple and the altcoin were built to stop that. The pundit also alluded to Ripple executives meeting with Donald Trump and to the token being mentioned as part of the digital asset stockpile. He added that the CLARITY Act is next and that when rules lock in, the U.S. capital will need U.S. rails. 

At the time of writing, the xrp price is trading at around $1.92, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
