XRP News Today: XRP Awaits July 30 U.S. Government Report on Strategic Reserve Inclusion

The XRP community is bracing for a pivotal moment as anticipation builds ahead of the U.S. government’s first-ever digital asset stockpile report, set for release on July 30. The report, mandated by President Donald Trump’s March 2025 executive order, aims to establish a federal framework for managing seized cryptocurrencies. Analysts speculate that XRP, alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, could be officially designated as part of the nation’s strategic reserves, a move that would mark a significant shift in regulatory recognition [1].

The executive order created two distinct entities: the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. While Bitcoin will be held permanently as a national reserve asset, altcoins like XRP, Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana will fall under the latter category, subject to forfeiture-based acquisition and regulatory-guided disposal decisions. White House official David Sacks confirmed the government currently holds approximately 200,000 BTC, a stockpile intended to avoid taxpayer losses from past asset sales [2]. The inclusion of XRP in this framework would signal growing federal acceptance of the token, particularly after its prolonged legal battle with the SEC.

Technical analysis of XRP’s price trajectory reveals a mixed outlook. Trading volume declined by 42% in mid-July, with the token finding support at $2.96 before stabilizing between $3.10 and $3.20. Key indicators, including the 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day exponential moving averages, remain intact, while the RSI hovers near 61, reflecting moderate momentum without overbought conditions. Analysts highlight that a break above $3.30 with increased volume could validate bullish continuation, whereas a drop below $3 would reignite bearish pressure [3]. These dynamics underscore the asset’s volatility ahead of the July 30 report.

The July 30 deadline is further compounded by the SEC’s impending decision on Ripple’s legal defense, scheduled for July 31. A favorable ruling could redefine XRP’s regulatory status, potentially accelerating its adoption in institutional contexts. Meanwhile, broader market trends—such as Ethereum’s stability near $3,800 and Bitcoin’s recent gains—suggest a cautiously optimistic environment for risk assets [4]. However, the interplay between regulatory outcomes and technical indicators will likely dictate XRP’s near-term performance. A confirmed inclusion in U.S. government holdings could reinforce institutional confidence, while prolonged consolidation without a clear directional break may lead to heightened volatility.

Investors are advised to monitor volume patterns and key support/resistance levels as the July 30 and 31 dates approach. The outcome of the report and the SEC’s decision will not only shape XRP’s immediate trajectory but also provide insights into the U.S. government’s evolving stance on digital assets. For now, the XRP community remains cautiously optimistic, with many viewing the upcoming developments as a potential inflection point for the token’s strategic utility.
