Morgan Creek Capital CEO: XRP Could be Ordered to be Used for a CBDC

Abs, host of Good Evening Crypto, shared a statement from Mark W. Yusko that has attracted attention within the digital asset community.

In his post, Abs quoted Yusko as saying, “There is some talk that $XRP could be utilized and or ordered to be used for a central bank digital currency or as the base layer for national banking.”

The tweet included a video clip of Yusko, the founder, chief investment officer, and managing director of Morgan Creek Capital Management, elaborating on potential legislative developments and the evolving digital asset landscape.

Abs’s post primarily highlighted Yusko’s suggestion that XRP could play a role in national-level financial infrastructure, a comment that stands out given Yusko’s well-known support for Bitcoin.

Yusko Discusses Legislative Outlook and Digital Asset Expansion

In the attached video, Yusko began by addressing what he described as a likely piece of legislation, while noting that there has been discussion about expanding beyond Bitcoin to include other digital assets such as XRP, Cardano, and Hedera. He stated, “The one piece of legislation that is likely to happen… there’s a lot of talk that they’ll expand beyond just Bitcoin to now, you know, XRP and Cardano and Hedera.”

Yusko also remarked that certain founders have been engaging with members of the administration and referenced Eric, saying, “And I think Eric’s driving a lot of this, his son. So we’ll see.” While he did not provide specific legislative details, his comments suggested that digital asset policy discussions may not be limited to Bitcoin alone.

He reaffirmed his view of Bitcoin as “digital gold,” adding that other digital assets serve different purposes. He then introduced the possibility that XRP could have a distinct function within the financial system. According to Yusko, “There is some talk that XRP could be utilized and or ordered to be used for a central bank digital currency, or as the base layer for national banking.”

Yusko clarified that he was not certain such a development would occur, stating, “I don’t know if it’ll happen or not, but that’s one that if that does happen, that changes things.” His comments stopped short of making a prediction, instead emphasizing that discussions are reportedly taking place.

Community Reaction to the Statement

Abs’ tweet also drew a notable response from X user GigaChadRizzGod, who wrote, “Mark Yusko (BTC maxi) saying XRP could be national banking base layer? That’s not hopium — that’s elite-level breadcrumbs XRP army, we eating soon or what?”

The reaction reflects the significance some XRP community members attach to Yusko’s remarks, particularly given his longstanding association with Bitcoin-focused investment strategies.

The idea that XRP could be considered for use in a central bank digital currency system or as foundational infrastructure for national banking represents a notable departure from narratives that center exclusively on Bitcoin reserve.

At this stage, Yusko’s comments remain speculative and framed as “some talk” rather than confirmed policy direction. However, the fact that a prominent investment executive mentioned such a possibility has added a new dimension to ongoing conversations about the future role of digital assets in government and banking systems.
