Recently, President Donald Trump officially announced the list of 5 cryptocurrencies that will be included in the strategic reserve of the United States, marking an important step in increasing the participation of the U.S. Government in the digital asset market. These cryptocurrencies include: Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), XRP, Solana, and Cardano. Notably, this is the first time these names have been made public, after President Trump signed an executive order on digital assets in January 2025.
Immediately after the announcement, the cryptocurrency market witnessed strong growth, with the total market value soaring by more than 300 billion USD, equivalent to a 10% increase. Specifically, Bitcoin rose by more than 11% to 94,164 USD, Ether increased by about 13% to 2,516 USD, while Solana, XRP, and Cardano recorded impressive increases of 20%, 25%, and 60%, respectively.
In particular, the inclusion of XRP - the token of Ripple Labs - in the reserve list has drawn attention. This is a move that could lead to a shift in how governments and financial institutions view cryptocurrencies.
Commenting on this event, experts believe that Trump's policy could promote the adoption of cryptocurrencies in organizations while providing greater clarity on regulations, strengthening the United States' position in the field of digital assets. At the same time, analysts point out that this announcement reflects a strong shift, with a policy prioritizing national interests in the cryptocurrency technology space.
This move by Trump is also seen as a clear departure from the previous administration of Joe Biden, where regulatory agencies had increased tighter controls over the cryptocurrency industry. However, there are still questions surrounding the legality of the new reserve and whether Congress needs to pass new legislation to enforce this policy.
Trump's actions are attracting strong interest from the cryptocurrency community, investors, and even major financial institutions, with hopes that these policies will create new momentum for the development of the cryptocurrency market in the future.
