Ripple Shocks World With White House Donation as XRP Surges-Is the Coin Finally Back?

by

Well, well, well, look who’s back in the game-Ripple. Listed among the major corporate donors to the White House project, Ripple is making headlines once again, as XRP pulls off a magnificent rebound with some impressive gains today. Is this a sign of things to come? Or just another wild ride in the crypto world? Only time will tell.

Ripple Among Big Tech Firms That Donate To White House Project

Let’s break it down, shall we? XRP’s very own influencer, Pumpius (what a name!), just dropped an X post featuring the private donor list to President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project-and guess who made the list? Yep, you guessed it: Ripple. Joining the crypto club were Coinbase and Tether America, with the Winklevoss twins-Cameron and Tyler-also throwing in their two cents. Honestly, are we shocked anymore?

But wait, there’s more! Ripple isn’t just rubbing elbows with the crypto giants; it’s now on the same list as the crème de la crème of tech titans-Amazon, Meta, Palantir, and Google. Who knew? But here’s the kicker: this isn’t the first time Ripple has helped line Trump’s pockets. The company previously donated almost $5 million to the president’s inauguration. And let’s not forget that Ripple’s very own Stuart Alderoty made his own contribution to Trump’s campaign last year. Talk about a friendly relationship!

But hey, this isn’t just a donation for fun. Ripple’s contribution has sent waves through the XRP community, with hopes that it will tighten their already cozy relationship with the Trump administration. And if you’re keeping score, XRP has been at the very heart of Ripple’s operations. In fact, Trump himself has previously mentioned XRP as part of the national digital asset stockpile. It’s all coming together now, isn’t it?

Since Trump took office earlier this year, Ripple has had quite the run. They’ve scored major victories, including the dismissal of the XRP lawsuit, all thanks to the much-needed regulatory clarity under this administration. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse even admitted that their U.S. operations have grown significantly since Trump’s election win. And as if that wasn’t enough, Ripple also made three significant acquisitions this year-one of which includes prime broker Hidden Road. The crypto world is watching closely.

XRP Rebounds Amid This Development

Now, let’s talk numbers. XRP’s price is soaring today, making it the biggest gainer among the top 10 cryptos by market cap. All of this, mind you, despite the overall market struggling, with Bitcoin just hanging out sideways. Ripple’s donation to the White House ballroom project has likely stirred some bullish sentiments among investors. I mean, who wouldn’t get excited when a crypto giant starts donating to political projects, right?

But here’s another twist: Brad Garlinghouse, the man himself, is on the front lines assuring the XRP community that everything is, indeed, going according to plan. In his latest X post, he declared that “XRP sits at the center of everything Ripple does” while they build solutions for the so-called “internet of value.” Oh, and don’t forget: he also told the XRP community to “lock in.” If only we could be as confident as he is.

This comes right after Ripple completed its $1.25 billion deal with Hidden Road. And according to Ripple, this prime broker is going to make their payment services even more powerful-using XRP, of course. I’m sure investors are just thrilled by the thought of that.

As of now, XRP is trading around $2.55, up over 5% in the last 24 hours. Make of that what you will, but hey, it’s a nice little jump for the coin. So, is Ripple positioning itself for a full-on comeback? Only time-and the market-will tell.
