What Did the Disputed Report Claim?

The report, which appeared on a crypto news platform several hours before Deaton’s rebuttal, alleged that the SEC had designated:
XRP for state-level financial transactions
ADA for academic credentialing and government services
SOL for high-speed blockchain applications

The article also claimed that these were the three cryptocurrencies President Donald Trump mentioned as part of a national crypto reserve.
