XRP Mentioned In a Conversation With Vice President JD Vance On U.S. Debt

XRP entered a high-level conversation involving U.S. Vice President JD Vance, the nation’s debt, a proposed national crypto reserve, and the future of digital assets.

Crypto Dyl News highlighted the exchange after Newsmax host Carl Higbie specifically mentioned Bitcoin and XRP while questioning Vance about the role crypto could eventually play in strengthening the U.S. financial position.

XRP Mentioned in Discussion on U.S. Debt

Crypto Dyl News reported on X that Higbie referenced President Donald Trump’s comments about a potential crypto reserve containing Bitcoin, XRP, and other digital assets. He then asked whether anything was considered to help address the country’s debt.

Vance did not say that XRP would be used to settle or pay off the U.S. national debt. Instead, he pointed to measures the administration is pursuing to improve the relationship between economic growth and the country’s debt.

He discussed a sovereign wealth fund and said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been working on a plan designed to help the U.S. economy grow faster than its debt. Vance acknowledged that the debt remains high but said the administration believes it is making progress.

Vance also criticized the high cost of servicing the debt and said the administration inherited a situation in which debt was growing faster than U.S. GDP.
