A comprehensive digital asset report issued by the White House extensively references major cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum while notably omitting any mention of the XRP token.
The report highlights Bitcoin’s dominant role, mentioning it 129 times, and emphasizes its foundational technology and market leadership.
Ethereum and Solana are prominently recognized as leading smart contract platforms driving innovation within the sector.
Furthermore, the report cites Chainlink specifically for its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), underscoring its contribution to improving blockchain connectivity.
In a significant omission, the report makes no mention of the XRP token, despite referencing Ripple, the associated company, twice.
This exclusion is widely interpreted as reflecting the ongoing regulatory uncertainty and legal challenges faced by Ripple Labs concerning the classification of XRP, contrasting with the report’s focus on assets perceived to have clearer regulatory standing like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
