Donald Trump's announcement

In a significant policy shift, Donald Trump announced on Sunday evening via his social media platform Truth Social that the United States will create a national crypto reserve consisting of five major cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA).

Crypto Markets React with Sharp Gains

Cardano, Solana, and XRP saw gains of up to 60% in response to the announcement, while Bitcoin and Ethereum also saw double-digit gains. Bitcoin bounced back after falling below $80,000 on Friday, rising 10% to reach $94,343.82. Ethereum rose 13% to reach $2,516.

Other cryptocurrencies such as Dogecoin, Chainlink, Avalanche, and Needles saw gains of between 9% and 14%, reflecting the strong optimism of the market following the news.

Details of the crypto reserve remain unclear

Although the announcement represents a significant advancement in recognizing digital assets within the US financial system, the specifics of how the crypto reserve will work are still unclear. More details are expected to be revealed during the inaugural White House crypto summit on Friday.

Trump’s January 23 executive order suggested establishing a “national digital asset reserve,” but did not specify which cryptocurrencies would be included or how it would be overseen.

This decision marks a significant shift in US policy regarding cryptocurrencies. In the past, government regulators and policymakers have generally been skeptical of digital assets, often citing concerns about regulation, security, and volatility. However, this action reflects a growing recognition of the importance of blockchain technology in the global economy and its potential inclusion in national financial strategies.

With the world eager for more details, the upcoming White House crypto summit is expected to shed light on the government’s long-term plans for digital assets.
