A viral post from the KingXRP account has reignited speculation that U.S. federal reserves will purchase XRP, with imagery linking President Donald Trump and Ripple branding. The same post sets a $10,000 price target for XRP by October 31, 2026. No official announcement, funding source, acquisition schedule, or confirmed buying programme supports the claim.
The circulating supply of XRP is reported at 63.35 billion tokens. At the claimed $10,000 valuation, XRP's market value would approximate $633.5 trillion, a figure far beyond established financial markets. From a reference price of about $1.30, reaching $10,000 would require a gain exceeding 769,000%, yet the post provides no financial model or demand analysis to justify that outcome.
Trump's March 2025 reserve announcement did include XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano. However, the subsequent framework separated Bitcoin's strategic reserve from a broader digital asset stockpile. Retaining assets acquired through seizures is not equivalent to buying tokens on the open market. Without evidence of authorised funding or a formal purchasing policy, the claim does not establish new government demand for XRP.
The same promotional post also predicts REAL Token could climb from $0.0002 to above $968.21 and refers to a market opportunity exceeding $650 trillion. Readers are directed to MEXC and the XRP Ledger decentralised exchange, but exchange availability does not validate price targets. The promotion includes no token supply, liquidity, utility, or valuation details, leaving the relationship between REAL Token and the federal XRP claim unclear.
As of writing, XRP trades near $1.30, and October 31 remains a forecast deadline rather than a confirmed market milestone. Official policy statements with funding and acquisition details would be required to evaluate any potential government demand.
