PANews reported on March 6 that according to Unchained Crypto, people familiar with the matter said that Ripple Labs executives, including CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stu Alderoty, had proposed to US President Trump to include SOL in the cryptocurrency reserve plan announced on Sunday to give it more legitimacy in the cryptocurrency community. The inclusion of SOL also helps Ripple convey its position of supporting cryptocurrency reserves that include a variety of US tokens.

In response to a question about whether Ripple is pushing for SOL to be included in the reserve to make its proposed XRP more convincing, a Ripple press representative referred to Garlinghouse’s tweet after Trump announced the reserve plan on Truth Social, that the industry should unite instead of fighting each other.
