$XRP Crypto commentator John Squire (@TheCryptoSquire) recently shared a video highlighting a bold concept: using XRP to address the US national debt.

In the clip, Newsmax host Carl Gigby explored the potential for government involvement in cryptocurrency markets to generate significant fiscal revenue.
👉Government Involvement in Crypto
Gigby outlined a scenario where the US government could use a portion of annual tax revenues to purchase XRP, which at the time was trading around $2.50. He suggested that if the government invested a substantial amount, roughly one-fifth of annual tax revenues or about $1 trillion, it could dramatically increase XRP’s market value.
With a total market capitalization of $144 billion, such a large purchase could multiply the coin’s value, potentially generating trillions in profits.
According to Gigby, this approach could allow the government to use cryptocurrency as a tool to support debt reduction and improve fiscal capacity. The plan involves buying a significant amount of XRP to boost its market value, then using the profits to reduce the national debt.
Gigby proposed that this process could be repeated in cycles to maximize fiscal results. “Pay off the national debt by Saturday,” he stated, emphasizing the speed at which digital assets can impact government finances compared to traditional tools.

👉Market Potential of XRP
Gigby compared cryptocurrency to traditional fiat systems, noting that the government cannot control crypto the way it controls banks or the Federal Reserve.
“The only way for the government to truly have a seat at the table in any control over cryptocurrency is to participate in it,” he said. Ownership and strategic deployment of crypto assets can strengthen both market adaptation and government financial positions.
The discussion highlighted XRP’s unique position as a widely recognized digital asset with institutional potential for adaptation. Using XRP in this way could foster further market expansion, benefiting both investors and the broader ecosystem. It could also encourage additional adoption within financial institutions, as Ripple’s technology is already designed for large-scale transactions.
👉Future Outlook
Government involvement in XRP could accelerate adoption on multiple fronts. Broader recognition could increase liquidity and trading volumes, attracting new market participants. Increased adoption would strengthen XRP’s position in global digital finance.
Many proposals have been put forward, some suggesting that escrowed XRP could be used to pay off the national debt. Gigby’s remarks indicate that strategic allocation of government funds into cryptocurrency could serve as both a market catalyst and a method to improve public financial outcomes.
