XRP Confiscation Like Gold in 1933? Both Orders Checked

And the government then decides to write codes, regulations, and laws that this is a banking asset and you're not a bank. They could very easily write something into the law that says, "Any person that owns XRP can't own it." Just like in 1933 when they confiscated all the gold, you weren't allowed to own it.

Alex Jones has wrote, "Financial bombshell. Top governments regulators are openly bragging about their plans to seize not only your XRP holdings, but your house and your bank accounts."

The 1933 gold order gave you 26 days to hand it in. Trump's 2025 crypto order doesn't give you any days at all. It says the government only gets coins a court already took in a criminal case. And it says it will not get any more in any other way. I've got both orders right here, not a summary, the actual pages.

The fear channels say they'll come for your XRP the way they came for your grandpa's gold. The hype channels say XRP has been chosen, so of course they'll win. Both of them are pointing at a 93-year-old piece of paper, and neither one has read it. But there is one way the government ends up holding your coins. It's in neither order, and it's got nothing to do with agents at the door.

The official link is down in the description below this video. Let's run it. All right, bullrunners, I'm Ryan Huggins, aka Win With Ryan. Welcome back to the channel.

On April 5th, 1933, owning gold in America became a crime. Every American had less than 4 weeks to hand in their gold coins at $20.67 an ounce. Keep them and you could face 10 years in prison. 9 months later, the same government raised the price of gold to $35. The people who obeyed the law were the ones who lost the most.

April 5th, 1933, Franklin Roosevelt signs Executive Order 6102. You had until May 1st to take your gold coins to a bank, 26 days. The bank paid you for them. Section 4 of that order, in here it states, "Will pay therefore an equivalent amount of any other form of coin or currency." You handed over a $20 gold coin and then you walked out with a $20 bill.

And this one wasn't about paper money. On April 5th, 1933, Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102. Every person and every business had to deliver their gold coins, gold bullion, and gold certificates to a Federal Reserve Bank by May 1st. The government would pay $20.67 an ounce, the official price for about 100 years. There were exceptions.

You could keep $100 worth. That's five of the big $20 coins. Dentists kept their gold, jewelers kept theirs, coin collectors kept the rare ones. Break the rule on purpose and section 9 says up to $10,000 or up to 10 years in prison. And here's the part the fear video skipped.

9 months later, in January 1934, the government raised the price of gold from $20.67 to $35 an ounce. The people who turned in their coins got paid at the old price, then the money they got paid in and 41% less gold. That's where the loss happened. Not at the door, at the price change afterwards. And you're probably thinking, "Fine, but they did it once.

They can do it again." Here's why they could do it in 1933. Gold was actual money. A $20 bill was a receipt for gold. The banks had to keep gold in their vault to back the bills. When people got scared in February of 1933 and lined up for their gold, the banks ran out.

So, the order wasn't about your coins. It was about the government needing gold to make its own money work. And in 1974, Congress ended it. Starting December 31st, 1974, Americans could buy, hold, and sell gold again. The order was law for 41 years, and then it was gone.

Now, ask the question for XRP. Does the US government need XRP to make the dollar work? The dollar isn't backed by XRP. It isn't backed by anything that you can hand in at a bank. So, the 1933 reason doesn't exist.

But that doesn't mean there's no document. There is one, and it's from Trump. And by the way, everything that we're going over so far has come out of that 1933 order that anybody can actually pull up on their own phone or computer. And the 2025 one is next. And reading the actual page before you act on a headline is the job.

And that's what we do inside of the SGS system at Altcoin Pro. So, if you would like some assistance with that, someone to walk you through that information, give us a hit. By the way, most people who get this far in the video, they end up closing out the tab and then they do nothing. So, if you're the one who won't, the first link in the description, book that call while it's still fresh in your head. Now, let's get back to it because on March 2nd of 2025, Trump posted that the working group would move forward on a crypto reserve that includes XRP, Solana, and Ada.

And of course, XRP jumped that day. Four days later, he signed the order.

Yesterday I signed an executive order officially creating our strategic Bitcoin reserve. And this will be a virtual Fort Knox for digital gold to be housed within the United States Treasury.

The reserve is for Bitcoin. Everything else, XRP included, goes into a second pile the order calls the US digital asset stockpile. Now, read where the coins come from. In section three, it says the pile is made of coins finally forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. See where it says forfeited?

That just means a court took it from somebody in a crime case, drug money, hacked exchange money, scam money.

The federal government is already among the largest holders of Bitcoin, as you know. Uh really one of the largest holders in the world with as many as 200,000 Bitcoin obtained via civil law and various other forms of law, and including enforcement actions. These existing holdings will form the foundation of the new reserve.

That's the president saying it. 200,000 Bitcoin from law enforcement. At $80,000 a coin on October 25th, 2026, that's about $16 billion that the government already had sitting in evidence lockers.

The Treasury and Commerce departments will also explore new pathways to accumulate additional Bitcoin holdings for the reserve, provided it's done at no cost to the taxpayers. We don't want any cost to the taxpayers. In addition, my order directs federal agencies to conduct an inventory of all crypto assets currently held by the US government and determine how they can be transferred easily to the Treasury. Non-Bitcoin digital digital assets will be held in a new US digital asset stockpile.

Then the sentence that nobody on the fear channels read, section 3C. However, the United States government shall not acquire additional stockpile assets other than in connection with criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. The 2025 order doesn't tell you to hand anything in. So, what does it take for the government to forfeit your coins? The Justice Department's own page lists three ways and all three need a crime.

Criminal forfeiture needs a conviction. The page says it's limited to the property involved in the particular counts on which the defendant is convicted. Civil forfeiture is a case against the property itself. No conviction needed, but the page says the government is still required to prove in court by a preponderance of evidence that the property was linked to criminal activity. The third kind only happens when nobody shows up to contest it.

Think about like a repo man. He can take your truck, but only because you missed the payment and assigned a paper that said he could. He can't take your neighbor's truck because he likes it. Forfeiture is the same. There has to be a crime and there has to be a judge.

did the honest thing. They sent the coins to the US Mint to check that they were real. The Mint said, yes, they're real and kept them. The family sued. After more than 10 years in court, the judges said the coins belong to the government.

70 years after the order, it was still collecting.

Even the one famous gold case took 10 years in court. Nobody kicked in a door and drove off with the coins. Now, the people who covered the Jones clip, most of them didn't buy either.

Do I subscribe to this theory that the government's going to come steal your XRP? I do not.

A guy named Jacob Metzger asked the question the right way. He asked Jones to name the specific law, policy, or government document that lets anyone seize your XRP, your house, or your bank account. As of October 25th, 2026, nobody has answered him with a document. So, where did the chilling FDIC admission come from? Now, Alex Jones had a special live Saturday show today, and the first topic it was, "Could the government seize XRP after chilling FDIC admission?" It's this.

I think you've got to think of the unintended consequences of taking a public that has more full faith and confidence in the banking system than maybe people in this room do. That we want them to have full faith and confidence in the banking system. They know the FDIC insurance is there. They know it works. They put their money in, they're going to get their money out.

That's a public meeting at the FDIC in November 2022, a committee of bankers and lawyers. Here's what they were talking about. When one of the giant banks fails, the plan is that the banks' own lenders eat the loss first. The people who lent the bank money by buying its bonds. The word on the slide for that is bailed in.

I mean, it's important that people understand they can be bailed in, but you don't want a huge run on the institution.

The thing they didn't want to scare the public with was the plan for bond holders of banks. Not your checking account, and not your XRP. Because here's the part that ends the whole thing. The FDIC doesn't cover crypto at all. In August of 2022, it sent letters to five crypto companies ordering them to stop telling customers their coins were insured.

The FDIC has no file on your XRP. It can't bail in something it never insured. Now, the one where the government does end up with your coins, if we go back to the 2025 order, finally forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. Whose crime? Not yours, the company holding your coins.

When an exchange gets caught laundering money or gets hacked by a crew, the coins in that case get frozen and forfeited. Some of the coins were customers coins. The customers weren't accused of anything. Their coins were just in the same pile. That's the real version of the story.

It's not the government coming for XRP holders. It's the government coming for a company and your coins being inside it. A validator who goes by Vet said, "The plain thing in the pushback, XRP in your own wallet stays under control of whoever holds the keys. A court can order a company to hand over what it holds. It can't order your wallet to do anything.

And that's why you hear the statement all the time, not your keys, not your crypto. So, you should be self-custody your crypto. You should be learning how to do that. If you're scared to learn how to do that, that is the step number one is just get educated and it's not scary. So, here's what the 1933 actually teaches and it is the opposite of what the fear channel sell.

In 1933, almost nobody lost their gold to an agent. They lost 41% of it to a price change after they traded it for paper because the paper was in somebody else's system. The thing that protected people wasn't hiding coins in the backyard. It was not holding a receipt for gold in the bank that was about to change the rules. The same thing now.

The 2025 order can't reach a wallet that you control. It can reach a company. So, the question was never will they confiscate XRP? It's whose name is on mine. And here's what I check from the couch.

One, whose name is on the coins? If it's an exchange, you own a promise for that exchange, not XRP. Two, has the government ever taken coins from a case like mine? Look up the exchange's name on the Justice Department's forfeiture pages. If the company's never been in a case, that's a good sign, not a guarantee.

Three, read the order yourself. It's one page on whitehouse.gov. Find the word forfeited. If a new order ever drops that word, that's the day to worry. There's no XRP confiscation order.

There's a 1933 order that's been dead since 1974 and a 2025 order that says the government can't go get more. So, tell me in the comments section, where's most of your XRP right now? On an exchange or in your own wallet? Just one word below, exchange, wallet, exchange or wallet. Everything in this video came out of two government orders and the Justice Department's own page.

It's all public and almost nobody who shared that clip opened any of it. Knowing whose name is on your coins and what a court can and can't reach is the job. And that's what the SGS system inside of Altcoin Pro does for our clients. And if you're holding $50,000 or more in crypto and nobody has ever sat down with you and mapped out where it actually lives, well, that's who this program is for. If you're not there yet, keep watching these videos.

They're free and we're not going to stop making them. You don't have to read the 1933 statutes yourself. That's what we do with you. If this is money invested in crypto that's for you and your spouse that you decide on together, bring them on the call. The first link in the description below gets you started.

Book a call. Crypto carries risk and past performance doesn't guarantee future results. This is education, not financial advice. And you know what to do. Stay bullish.

I'll see you at the top.
