Coach JV, a financial commentator and investor, has shared what he believes could be the role of XRP in a financial scene where Bitcoin becomes the strategic reserve.
With the Donald Trump administration rapidly warming up to crypto, market commentators believe the industry has an opportunity to cement its position in the American financial scene and by extension, the global one. While Bitcoin (BTC) has been a major focus, XRP proponents believe the token also has a role to play in the coming future.
Bitcoin Becoming Strategic Reserve
It is against this backdrop that Coach JV recently presented a commentary suggesting that XRP could shine as a liquidity rail. According to him, while the government is distracting the masses with politics, they are making the “real power moves” behind the scenes to cement crypto’s presence in global finance.
Notably, Coach JV suggested that in the coming future, Bitcoin would become the strategic reserve. For context, the Trump administration already established a strategic Bitcoin reserve in March after President Trump signed an executive order to this effect.
However, U.S. lawmaker Cynthia Lummis is championing an effort to make this law, seeking to retain the campaign beyond the Trump administration. Lummis reintroduced her Bitcoin Act in March 2025, looking to purchase 1 million BTC or 5% of the total Bitcoin supply over a five-year period.
Lummis’ bill is especially important, considering President Trump’s executive order does not mandate the purchase of Bitcoin except through budget-neutral ways. Should these efforts gain momentum, Bitcoin could cement its position as the strategic reserve.
Role of XRP if Bitcoin Becomes Strategic Reserve
Notably, with Bitcoin being the strategic reserve, Coach JV believes XRP could assume the position of a liquidity rail. For the uninitiated, if a crypto asset functions as a liquidity rail, it essentially works as a medium for facilitating efficient transfer of value with minimal delays or slippage.
XRP has already proven to be effective in this area, boasting just three to five seconds of transaction time, with each transaction costing as low as 0.00001 XRP. Importantly, Blockchain payments firm Ripple has leveraged the asset for cross-border payments for years, with several organizations like the IIF recognizing this role.
Speaking further, Coach JV suggested that with Bitcoin becoming the strategic reserve and XRP acting as the liquidity rail, the Trump-inspired World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project could serve as both the political and financing operating system.
According to him, President Trump and his special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Wickoff, who also co-founded WLFI, are not merely investing in the crypto industry. He believes they are gradually building the financial rails that the world could move on. “This isn’t investing; it’s monetary warfare,” he added.
