During Davos, the President of the United States surprised the global crypto community, declaring his desire to end the "war on cryptocurrencies".
At the World Economic Forum in Davos 2026, Donald Trump presented a clear vision: to transform the United States into the global capital of digital assets. This ambitious plan is supported by a strong alliance with Ripple, one of the key players in the cryptocurrency industry.
Historic handshake under the snow of Davos
During Davos, the President of the United States surprised the global crypto community by declaring his desire to end the "war on cryptocurrencies." According to analysts, this statement marks a strategic shift in American policy, aiming to create a favorable ecosystem for digital innovation and the return to the US of projects that had migrated to other jurisdictions.
National digital asset reserve
At Davos, Trump confirmed the creation of a national digital assets reserve. This will include XRP, bitcoin, as well as other seized or strategically important tokens. With this move, Trump seeks to integrate crypto-assets into the US national reserves instead of liquidating them, strengthening the country's monetary sovereignty in a world transitioning rapidly toward tokenization.
The role of the CLARITY Act and the regulatory shift
At the same time, Cointribune notes that discussions are intensifying around the CLARITY Act, a bill that aspires to provide a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and financial institutions. Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, praised the bill's progress, emphasizing that it will allow banks to adopt tokenization without the fear of regulatory sanctions.
The digital dollar and Ripple at the core of the strategy
A central pillar of this strategy is RLUSD, the stablecoin developed by Ripple. Garlinghouse described it as a critical tool for maintaining the dollar’s dominance in the global financial system. Behind the scenes at Davos, Ripple is now emerging as a strategic partner of the White House. The company, which in the past was in a fierce confrontation with the SEC, now appears to be integrated into the core of political power.
A new era for markets and the global battle for crypto
The Trump–Ripple alliance heralds a new era for financial markets. The United States seeks to become the global crypto hub with a specific roadmap: stable regulation, institutional adoption, and proven technology through the XRP Ledger. The "Davos shock" reignites the international battle surrounding digital assets. Eyes are now turned to Washington, as it remains to be seen if other global powers will follow the same path.
