Breaking | Trump Shocks the World: Inclusion of Cryptocurrencies in U.S. Reserves Ignites Markets!
Washington – On Sunday, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social the inclusion of five cryptocurrencies in the U.S. strategic reserves, triggering a massive surge in their market value.
Trump stated that the executive order issued in January regarding digital assets would lead to the establishment of a cryptocurrency stockpile, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). He later clarified that Bitcoin and Ethereum would be at the core of this reserve.
Major Crypto Market Surge
- Bitcoin (BTC) jumped over 10%, reaching $92,459.
- Ethereum (ETH) surged 11%, hitting $2,456.
A Strategic Shift in U.S. Policy
This decision marks a dramatic shift in the U.S. government’s stance on digital currencies. Federico Brocati, Head of Business at 21Shares, stated that this move could accelerate institutional adoption, enhance regulatory clarity, and solidify the U.S. as a leader in the crypto sector.
Mixed Reactions Among Analysts
James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, called Trump’s decision unexpected, noting that including assets beyond Bitcoin reflects a broader vision for digital currency technology.
While some experts believe the move may require congressional approval, others argue that it could be implemented through the U.S. Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund.
Trump’s Crypto-Friendly Approach
After securing strong support from the crypto community during his 2024 campaign, Trump has quickly begun implementing pro-industry policies:
- The SEC dropped lawsuits against Coinbase.
- Investigations into several crypto firms were halted.
- The first-ever White House Crypto Summit is set for next Friday.
Bitcoin Price Predictions
According to a Standard Chartered report, analyst Geoff Kendrick predicts Bitcoin could reach $500,000 before the end of Trump’s term, surpassing its previous all-time high of $109,071.
What’s Next?
Analysts suggest that continued crypto market growth depends on Federal Reserve interest rate decisions or clear regulatory frameworks from the Trump administration. There are also discussions within Trump’s team about using confiscated digital assets to build the new reserve stockpile.
