Trump Proposes Crypto-Powered Peace Deal Between Russia and Ukraine

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly brokered an unprecedented peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, a plan allegedly funded entirely by Bitcoin and XRP. During a surprise visit to Moscow, Trump unveiled what he called a “revolutionary diplomatic framework” that replaces traditional financial systems with blockchain technology.

According to leaked documents, the deal hinges on two pillars: the creation of a “Trump-XRP Bridge,” a sanctions-proof payment rail designed to replace the SWIFT network, and a controversial agreement requiring Russia to mine Bitcoin as reparations for Ukraine. The XRP-based system, purportedly audited by Trump Organization accountants, would facilitate “instant, frictionless” transactions between the two nations. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly pledged to redirect state-owned energy resources toward mining Bitcoin, with a portion of the proceeds flowing directly to Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts.

Trump declared during a press conference staged in front of Moscow’s Red Square, flanked by actors dressed as miners holding mock Ripple logos, “Sanctions are obsolete. We’re using crypto to make the world rich again.” He further stated, “Sleepy Joe uses dollars. I use Bitcoin,” and “XRP? Ripple’s lawyers called me—they’re throwing a parade in Red Square! Putin’s mining rigs? Best in the world. Tremendous hashrate.”

In a related development, Trump announced the revival of his long-stalled Trump Tower Moscow project, now slated to be financed entirely through what he described as “confiscated Russian oligarch crypto.” Leaked blueprints suggest the tower will include a Bitcoin mining hub in its basement and a “Freedom Trading Floor” where visitors can swap XRP for Trump-branded NFTs.

The peace deal’s most eyebrow-raising condition involves Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Sources claim Trump demanded that Kyiv be symbolically renamed “New Mar-a-Lago” for at least one year in exchange for the Bitcoin reparations. “It’s a win-win,” Trump asserted. “Ukraine gets 100,000 Bitcoin, and I get the best branding deal since Ivanka’s shoes.” Zelenskyy’s office has yet to confirm or deny the clause, though rumors suggest negotiations included a side deal involving a Trump-endorsed NFT collection of “Hero Cities.”

In a hastily recorded video statement, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse praised the initiative, calling it “the ultimate use case for digital assets.” He added, “For years, we’ve said XRP could revolutionize cross-border payments. Turns out, it can also revolutionize regime change.” Legal experts, however, were quick to note that Ripple’s ongoing SEC lawsuit might complicate the plan’s rollout.

The announcement has sparked chaos across financial and political spheres. NATO officials emergency convened to discuss the “geopolitical precedent” of crypto-backed treaties, while Crypto Twitter erupted with memes speculating whether TrumpCoin would airdrop to MAGA holders. Meanwhile, retail investors briefly crashed XRP markets amid rumors of a Trump tweet—later revealed to be a fake account—urging followers to “BUY XRP OR GET LEFT BEHIND.”

Buried in the 1,024-page agreement are lesser-known provisions, including a requirement for Russian citizens to mine XRP for “national redemption credits” and a clause allowing Trump’s 2024 campaign to accept XRP donations at a fixed rate of “1 XRP = 1 Vote (Florida only).”

While the proposal’s sheer audacity has captivated headlines, experts unanimously agree: this is satire. No Bitcoin mining reparations, XRP-powered peace bridges, or crypto-themed Trump Towers are underway—at least not yet. As one Capitol Hill staffer quipped, “If Trump starts tweeting about XRP, we’ll know the simulation is broken.”
