Alex Jones warned XRP holders that governments could seek to freeze or control private crypto assets during a serious financial crisis. In a video posted from his Jones X account, he raised the possibility that federal authorities could target digital assets such as XRP and compared the scenario with U.S. restrictions on private gold ownership in 1933. Jones also referred to earlier allegations involving the FDIC and European authorities but presented no official documents confirming a coordinated plan to seize XRP or other private assets. He said he was not making a specific XRP price prediction and did not consider himself a cryptocurrency expert. XRP Ledger validator Vet disputed the technical feasibility of directly seizing XRP held in a self-custody wallet, while noting that governments can regulate exchanges and custody services.
