In a stunning announcement, former President Donald Trump has proposed the creation of a national cryptocurrency reserve featuring five notable coins. The announcement has led to a sharp increase in prices for Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. As part of the forthcoming Crypto Summit at the White House, expected details about this strategic reserve will be shared, following Trump's directive to the Presidential Working Group to explore this initiative.

Trump Promotes Strategic Crypto Reserve, Prices Surge
Former President Donald Trump's endorsement of five key cryptocurrencies ignites a market rally as he aims to position the U.S. as the "Crypto Capital of the World."
This development comes after a marked decline in cryptocurrency values since Trump's election, under the administration of Joe Biden, which saw stricter regulation of the crypto space. Trump's latest social media posts revealed that he has "signed an order" focusing on SEC regulations crucial for establishing the reserve with the five targeted cryptocurrencies at its core. The dramatic price surge immediately followed his comments, with some coins experiencing increases of up to 62%, rekindling interests in the crypto market dynamic.
This contrasts sharply with Trump's previous skepticism regarding cryptocurrencies, having labeled Bitcoin a "scam" in a 2021 interview. Yet, in an apparent change of direction, both Trump and his wife, Melania, have recently launched their respective cryptocurrencies, fueling financial speculation and raising eyebrows about potential conflicts of interest in their political and business dealings.
As speculation grows around how this strategic reserve will be implemented, it remains ambiguous whether Congressional approval will be needed. What remains evident, however, is that Trump’s backing of cryptocurrencies allows him to reclaim a stronghold in a sector he once criticized, raising questions about the future landscape of digital assets in America.
