* Donald Trump ratifies a decree to form a digital currency repository.
* Speculators are wagering on XRP to exceed other virtual currencies in 2025.
* JPMorgan anticipates an XRP ETF could garner $8 billion in capital influx.
With a Ripple-connected digital currency nearing the debut of an exchange-traded fund, gamblers are optimistic about XRP’s prospects. Toncoin (TON) Value Forecast for March 26th
On Kalshi, the probability of a Ripple-linked virtual currency exceeding other digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2025 stands at 43%, with the latter pair possessing a 21% and 7% likelihood of being the top performers, correspondingly.
This trails President Donald Trump’s earlier declaration that he desires to incorporate XRP into a digital asset repository.
“Incorporating XRP into a strategic repository reinforces the argument for an XRP ETF application,” Jonathan de Wet, chief investment officer at crypto trading firm Zerocap, informed DL News earlier this week.
Presently, numerous XRP exchange-traded fund applications are being examined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Bettors on Polymarket estimate a 76% likelihood of XRP approval in 2025.
JPMorgan analysts forecast that an XRP ETF could entice up to $8 billion in investor capital influx during its initial year, akin to the consequence of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
The optimistic odds emerge on the cusp of the White House’s inaugural digital currency summit, where Trump will host figures from the digital currency sector.
## Digital Asset Repository
Trump ratified a decree on Thursday geared towards establishing a strategic Bitcoin and digital asset repository. The decree omitted XRP and stipulated that it would retain digital currencies already seized by legal authorities.
The announcement triggered a decrease in XRP’s value, declining 3.3% in the preceding 24 hours. During the identical timeframe, the entire digital currency market diminished by 2.5%.
The digital currency market’s downturn synchronized with a more than 2% slump in the Nasdaq.
Following a series of tariff-related announcements, Wall Street saw a 6% market decline.
The market has already been disturbed by the White House’s occasional tariff threats, prompting Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly to describe US trade policy as a “psychological war.”
Despite this, Polymarket reported a surge in the likelihood of the US government holding XRP reserves in 2025 following the news, rising to 30% from roughly 20% before Trump signed the executive order.
