Today, March 2, 2025, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to share big news about cryptocurrency. He revealed that his January executive order on digital assets has led to the creation of a “Crypto Strategic Reserve” for the U.S., featuring XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). At first, he left out Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which sparked some buzz online. But about an hour later, he clarified in a follow-up post, saying, “Obviously, BTC and ETH, as other valuable cryptocurrencies, will be at the heart of the Reserve,” putting any confusion to rest. Trump clarified that he’s all in on boosting the crypto industry, stating, “A U.S. Crypto Reserve will elevate this critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden Administration.” He also vowed to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.” The announcement sent prices soaring, with XRP and the other mentioned cryptocurrencies seeing major jumps—especially XRP, which shot up in value shortly after the news hit.
