Community figure Luis Delgado, aka Del Crxpto, predicts that XRP will soon become the leading crypto asset in the U.S. for employee income distributions.
According to him, XRP is set to power a future where workers receive salaries directly in the digital asset.
The prediction aligns with the widespread interest in XRP’s utility as a fast, low-cost payment solution, which is appealing for payroll integration. As blockchain adoption deepens across corporate America, Del Crxpto believes XRP could lead the shift toward crypto-based compensation.
Push for Crypto Like XRP in Corporate America
Indeed, in recent times, the U.S. administration has made several positive efforts toward more pronounced crypto integration.
For instance, the U.S. SEC last week launched Project Crypto, an initiative to move all U.S. financial markets on-chain. SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the effort seeks to modernize outdated regulations, support tokenization, enable crypto custody and trading, and attract innovation back to the U.S.
The initiative follows broader government interest in blockchain. The White House last month released a crypto report, which discusses establishing a Bitcoin and crypto reserve. In July, the government passed a landmark regulation on stablecoins.
These pro-crypto initiatives have triggered speculation about even deeper integration with XRP, given its U.S. origin and utility.
Previously, discussions in the XRP community suggested the U.S. could leverage Ripple’s XRP held in escrow as a reserve to potentially offset national debt. However, this idea has been dismissed as unfeasible.
While speculation on banking integration remains, Delgado is now predicting a future where XRP becomes the top crypto asset for payroll services in the U.S.

Where XRP Salary Payments Already Exist
While the idea of getting paid in crypto is still emerging, some companies have already begun offering this option.
Platforms like Coinbase allow U.S. users to deposit their paychecks and instantly convert them into cryptocurrencies like XRP.
Deel, a global payroll platform for remote workers, supports crypto withdrawals, including XRP. Bitwage is another service known for its early role in promoting crypto payroll.
These developments signal that XRP-based income distribution is already taking shape, although not yet at the government level.
Government Officials Leading by Example
Notably, the push for crypto salaries isn’t limited to the private sector. Prominent U.S. government figures have also embraced digital assets for personal income.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams famously pledged to receive his first three paychecks in Bitcoin to show support for innovation in the financial sector. Similarly, Francis Suarez, the Mayor of Miami, opted to receive his salary in Bitcoin in 2022.
Crypto Payment Globally
In March, Brazil introduced a bill to legalize salary remuneration in Bitcoin. Previously, in 2024, a UAE court recognized salary payment in crypto as a valid means of compensation.
These developments reinforce the idea that crypto payrolls are gaining mainstream legitimacy, even at the government level.
