XRP linked to US debt talks but no government plan to use it officially announced

During a Newsmax interview, Vice President JD Vance was asked about using XRP and other cryptocurrencies to offset the US national debt, which exceeds $40 trillion. Vance did not confirm any plans to use XRP or other digital assets for debt repayment, instead focusing on economic growth and a proposed sovereign wealth fund. The Trump administration's existing crypto policy includes a Bitcoin reserve and a digital asset stockpile from government seizures, but no new acquisitions or official use of XRP were announced. Meanwhile, XRP's price surged toward $1.70 amid strong trading momentum, though this was unrelated to the interview.
