#USCryptoReserve President Donald Trump once again shook the cryptocurrency world with a surprising announcement on March 2, 2025: the United States will establish a 'Crypto Strategic Reserve' that includes Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL).

This move is touted as an effort to make the U.S. the 'Crypto Capital of the World', while also correcting what Trump calls 'years of corrupt attacks by the Biden administration' against the crypto industry.

Just hours after Trump's announcement, the crypto market experienced a massive surge. Bitcoin (BTC) skyrocketed over 10% to Rp1.54 billion ($94,000), while Ethereum (ETH) jumped 13% past Rp41.07 million ($2,500). Not only that, XRP, ADA, and SOL recorded increases of over 20%, triggering great excitement in the crypto community.

According to data from CoinGecko, the global cryptocurrency market capitalization increased by about Rp4.929 trillion ($300 billion) in just a matter of hours. Many investors see this as a strong bullish signal, even calling it 'Christmas in March' for the crypto industry.

Initially, Trump only included XRP, SOL, and ADA in the Crypto Reserve based on an executive order in January 2025. However, one hour after the first announcement, he added Bitcoin and Ethereum, calling these two assets the 'heart of the U.S. crypto reserve'.

The inclusion of Bitcoin (BTC) as part of the national reserve actually makes sense from an economic perspective. With its limited supply and decentralized nature, BTC can serve as a hedge against inflation, similar to the role of gold in the past. Is this true?
