Trump Confirms US Crypto Reserve, Bitcoin and Altcoins See Massive Surge

Following former President Donald Trump’s announcement that the United States will create a “crypto strategic reserve,” the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant surge. According to reports, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA) will all be part of the reserve.

The entire cryptocurrency market surged by a staggering $100 billion after Trump made the announcement on Truth Social. SOL rose 24%, ADA surged over 70%, and XRP surged 37%. Ethereum and Bitcoin, meanwhile, saw increases of 13% and 10%, respectively.

Political Stance on Crypto and Regulatory Actions

Trump presented the reserve as a defense against the Biden administration’s alleged “corrupt attacks” on the Bitcoin industry. He reiterated his goal of turning the US become the global “crypto capital.” It is still unknown, though, exactly how the reserve will be organized.

A Presidential Working Group to evaluate the viability of a national cryptocurrency reserve was established by an executive order signed by Trump in January. The team had 180 days to present a thorough report, 60 days to offer suggestions, and 30 days to find pertinent regulations.

Given how the statement was received by the cryptocurrency market, Trump’s move may signal a significant change in US regulations pertaining to digital assets.
