U.S. president Donald Trump shared an XRP-related article on social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday, stoking excitement and speculation among the XRP community.
The article, published by CoinDesk in January, revealed how Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse experienced an uptick in U.S. deals and hiring efforts following Trump's election victory in November.

The post generated 6.3K likes and 268 replies, the majority of which uttered phrases like "XRP to the moon" and discussed how XRP should become the currency that underpins a potential U.S. crypto reserve.
The XRP token remained fairly muted at $2.53 after the post, although trading volume is up by 26% in 24 hours to $5.5 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
The post comes as the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) put the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in its crosshairs on Monday — which could end in a positive result for Ripple as it is facing an appeal from the regulator in relation to an alleged unregistered securities offering in 2020.
There is also an expectation that an XRP exchanged traded fund (ETF) will be approved this year after the SEC acknowledged a filing by the New York Stock Exchange and Grayscale last week.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
需要了解的:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
