The cryptocurrency market experienced a sharp rally following former President Donald Trump’s announcement of a U.S. ‘Crypto Reserve,’ an initiative designed to strengthen the country’s digital asset standing.
Trump, who has increasingly aligned himself with the crypto sector, revealed that the crypto reserve will include major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano.
Trump took to Truth Social to unveil his latest crypto-related policy, framing it as a countermeasure against what he described as “years of corrupt attacks by the Biden administration” on the industry. His post emphasized that the reserve is designed to solidify the U.S. as the global leader in cryptocurrency adoption and blockchain innovation. The announcement immediately sent crypto prices soaring, with XRP, Solana, and Cardano seeing gains of over 20%, while Bitcoin climbed back above $90,000.
He later followed up with another message, confirming that BTC and ETH would also be part of the reserve.
But the details of how this crypto reserve will operate remain unclear. Trump’s administration had previously floated the idea of a “Bitcoin stockpile” similar to the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The latest announcement marks a shift in language, moving from ‘stockpile’ to ‘reserve,’ which suggests the government could actively manage and acquire crypto assets rather than simply holding seized digital currencies.
Trump’s pro-crypto stance has already led to key policy shifts, including rescinding Biden-era regulatory crackdowns and appointing figures like former PayPal COO David Sacks as the White House’s crypto and AI czar. With the first-ever White House Crypto Summit scheduled for later this week, industry insiders expect further insights into how the administration plans to execute its crypto reserve strategy.
Trump’s pivot to crypto has been widely seen as a strategic political move to attract support from an industry frustrated with regulatory uncertainty. The previous administration had been skeptical of digital assets, but his recent policy shifts—combined with direct involvement in the crypto market through personal ventures—suggest a new level of commitment.
