XRP Surges Amid US Debt Discussion on Newsmax
Vice President JD Vance discussed the US debt and economic growth in an interview on Newsmax, touching on the topic of a national cryptocurrency reserve.
The conversation turned to digital assets, with host Carl Higbie mentioning that President Donald Trump previously mentioned XRP, bitcoin, ether, solana, and cardano as potential assets for such a reserve.
Vance did not directly address XRP or announce any new policy, instead focusing on economic growth and a proposed sovereign wealth fund.
The interview did not change the current policy regarding the cryptocurrency reserve, which was established by Trump's executive order in March 2025.
