Donald Trump intensifies his bet on cryptocurrencies in 2025
Since his return to the presidency, Donald Trump has made it clear that he wants to turn the United States into the undisputed capital of cryptocurrencies. At the Digital Assets Summit, he stated that the country "will dominate this industry like no one else," marking a strategic shift in U.S. economic policy.
Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve
In March, Trump signed an executive order to establish a national reserve of crypto assets. This will include XRP, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and more recently, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The funding will come from cryptocurrencies seized in legal cases, without affecting taxpayers.
Immediate Market Impact
Following the announcement, XRP, SOL, and ADA rose by up to 63%, while Bitcoin surpassed $88,000 in April. The market responded enthusiastically to the clear signal of institutional backing.
Strategic Alliances
Trump appointed David Sacks as "crypto czar" and has held meetings with key figures in the ecosystem such as the Winklevoss twins and Michael Saylor, outlining a national roadmap for digital assets.
Personal Involvement
Before taking office, Trump and Melania launched their own meme coins, which reached astonishing market capitalizations: $10 billion and $2 billion, respectively.
With these measures, Trump aims to secure the global leadership of the U.S. in the new digital financial order.
