Alex Jones claim U.S. government could seize XRP in financial crisis sparks backlash

U.S. media figure Alex Jones has sparked controversy in the XRP community by claiming the U.S. government could control or seize privately held assets including XRP if a severe financial crisis hits. XRP investors and community figures rejected the claim, saying there is no established legal basis for a forced confiscation. They argued self-custodied wallets cannot be easily taken and said comparisons with 1933 gold restrictions are misplaced.
