Centered around President Donald Trump's announcement of plans to create a National Cryptocurrency Strategic Reserve. This reserve will include Bitcoin and other altcoins like Ethereum, Ripple, Solana, and Cardano.
Details about the strategic reserve
- This reserve aims to position the U.S. as a leader in the digital asset space and ensure the nation has a strategic buffer against potential economic and geopolitical risks.
- However, many questions remain unanswered regarding the main operational details of this reserve, such as the source of authority, asset allocation, and how to ensure the custody of digital assets.
Challenges and controversies
- Some experts believe a new law from Congress is needed to establish this reserve, while others think Trump could set it up through executive power.
- The funding for purchasing Bitcoin and new altcoins is also causing concern, with some arguing that the use of taxpayer money or the issuance of new debt could face strong opposition from lawmakers and the public. Market impact
- The announcement of the strategic reserve has caused the prices of Bitcoin and other altcoins to soar, with Solana rising over 15%, XRP increasing nearly 20%, and ADA rising 60%.
- If the government chooses to buy more cryptocurrency for reserves through open market purchases, this could create a significant new source of demand and push cryptocurrency prices higher.
