The addition of Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano results in substantial price surges.
On March 3, 2025, President
Donald Trump revealed the establishment of a U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve, which includes Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano.
This initiative is designed to position the United States as a frontrunner in the realm of digital assets and signifies a major shift in the government’s attitude towards cryptocurrencies.
In the wake of the announcement, the cryptocurrency market saw significant growth.
Bitcoin's value rose by about 9%, reaching $93,000 and adding $166 billion to its market capitalization.
Ether climbed 13%, reaching $2,516.
XRP's price surged from $2.23 to $2.99, Solana's value increased from $140 to $168, and Cardano’s price jumped from $0.68 to almost $1. The total cryptocurrency market grew by over $300 billion.
This development indicates a significant alteration in the government's perspective on digital assets, which could expedite institutional adoption and strengthen U.S. leadership in digital asset innovation.
A White House cryptocurrency summit, featuring prominent industry players, is set for March 7 to explore prospective regulatory policies and the influence of cryptocurrencies on the U.S. financial system.
