Very secret details have emerged about Trump's post praising XRP, SOL, and ADA - It turns out there have been storms brewing inside!

A once reliable ally known for his deep ties to Donald Trump, lobbyist Brian Ballard, suddenly found himself excluded from the inner circle of the White House following an event related to cryptocurrencies and a poorly received Truth Social post in March.

In early March, on a Sunday morning, President Trump unknowingly published a Truth Social message introducing the "Crypto Strategic Reserve," stating that Ripple Labs, one of the mentioned companies, was a paid client of Ballard's lobbying firm. The post came after a Ballard employee personally lobbied Trump at a donor event in Mar-a-Lago, pressuring the president several times to make a crypto-friendly statement and even presenting him with a suggested message.

Trump only noticed the link after he posted the message. According to two people close to the matter, an angry Trump told his colleagues referring to Ballard, "He is no longer wanted anywhere." Since then, White House staff have reportedly been instructed not to engage with Ballard, which signifies a dramatic fall for one of Washington's most powerful lobbyists.

Ballard's firm Ballard Partners had long been seen as an influential player in the Trump world. His close relationship with Trump, his role in previous campaign fundraising, and his employment of key Trump allies like Susie Wiles and Pam Bondi helped to create an image of him as Trump's definitive lobbyist. This perception has led to him gaining 130 new clients since Trump took office, including giants like JP Morgan, Palantir, Chevron, and Netflix.

In a statement, Ballard denied using his relationships for business and refuted the claim that he was sidelined. In an interview with POLITICO, Ballard said, "We are used to false accusations from anonymous sources due to the success our firm has achieved," and asserted that his firm continues to secure gains for its clients and build relationships with management.

The event that ignited the fuse of this storm, namely the crypto sharing, is still a sensitive point within the White House. Sources say that Trump repeatedly rejected requests from a Ballard employee to promote crypto but eventually softened and relayed the message to an employee. The incident quickly exploded: it was reported that crypto advisor David Sacks angrily called Wiles, leading to internal investigations that swiftly traced the pressure on Ballard's firm.

Worse still, the original post did not mention Trump's own crypto project. In a subsequent post, more companies were added, but by then the damage was done.
