<p>XRP is ending the year on a positive note, showing signs of recovery after a bearish phase. Recent reports suggesting that Donald Trump’s fund is investing in XRP have sparked speculation about its impact on the token’s value. Currently trading at $2.30, XRP has climbed over 16% in the last 24 hours, recovering after a slight dip earlier in the week.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-trump-betting-big-on-crypto">Is Trump Betting Big on Crypto?</h2>   
<p>Mark Yusko, founder of Morgan Creek Capital Management, recently claimed that Donald Trump and his son Eric have been actively investing in digital assets like <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/mark-yusko-claims-trump-is-buying-xrp-btc-and-hbar-new-etf-approvals-ahead/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin (BTC), Hedera (HBAR), and Ripple’s XRP</a>. Yusko believes these investments could position Trump as a significant player in cryptocurrency markets, especially with potential ETF approvals for HBAR and XRP on the horizon.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-whales-are-buying-xrp">Whales Are Buying XRP </h2>   
<p>Trump’s rumored crypto involvement may be fueling optimism around XRP. On-chain analyst Ali Martinez shared that whales have purchased 80 million XRP since the recent price correction began on December 17, signaling strong interest from large investors.</p>   
<p>Adding to the excitement, a crypto analyst compared <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/xrp-price-prediction-for-december-21/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">XRP’s current price movement</a> to its 2017 bull run. The analysis suggests XRP could repeat its earlier rally, potentially reaching $8–$13. This historical pattern has encouraged XRP holders to anticipate a significant price surge.</p>   
<p>Yusko also pointed to rumors of a possible exemption for U.S.-based cryptocurrencies from capital gains tax. If implemented, this could dramatically change how crypto is treated in the U.S. and reshape the market’s future.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-xrp-s-potential-vs-yusko-s-criticism">XRP’s Potential vs. Yusko’s Criticism</h2>   
<p>Despite the recent buzz, Yusko expressed doubts about XRP’s long-term potential, criticizing both XRP and Cardano for a lack of groundbreaking innovation. However, he remains optimistic about the U.S. government’s changing attitude toward cryptocurrencies. </p>   
<p>Figures like Scott Bessent and the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/gary-genslers-rule-ends-can-paul-atkins-reverse-cryptos-sec-nightmare/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">potential new SEC chair</a> have openly supported digital assets, signaling possible regulatory shifts.</p>   [post_titles_links postid="396091"]   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-road-ahead-for-xrp">The Road Ahead for XRP</h2>   
<p>Speculation is growing that Trump’s team may include XRP and HBAR in a national cryptocurrency reserve. Shawn, a Hedera supporter, claimed that the administration aims to classify these tokens as “American Commodities” to strengthen the U.S.’s position in the global crypto market.</p>
