Arthur Hayes points out that statements about a strategic cryptocurrency reserve are merely words unless approved by Congress. Without such approval, the necessary funds to purchase cryptocurrencies and establish such a reserve are not available.

On the other hand, Eric Trump reacts to the announcement of this strategic reserve, made on a Sunday when traditional markets were closed. He sees it as an opportunity for retail investors to gain an edge, emphasizing that traditional finance must quickly adapt to this new landscape, where markets no longer operate solely from Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. According to him, the world is evolving, and those who fail to keep up risk being left behind.
