Crypto News of the Year? Trump: XRP, SOL, and ADA to Be Included in the US Strategic Reserve

On March 2, 2025, US President Donald Trump posted an announcement on his official Truth Social account about his intention to include XRP (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA) cryptocurrency coins in the US Strategic National Reserve of Digital Assets.

Trump said that he had already sent his digital assets team a corresponding order to speed up the creation of a national reserve of cryptocurrencies.

The public and crypto market experts noticed that there was no mention of Bitcoin (BTC) in the latest statement, although the newly elected US leader had previously repeatedly assured that Bitcoin would become the core of the national crypto reserve.

In previous statements, Donald Trump has voiced plans to preserve all Bitcoin owned by the government and the United States, and has also said that "all unmined BTC should be mined in the United States."

Donald Trump's public rhetoric on this issue has changed since he signed an executive order on the formation of a government task force on crypto assets on January 23, 2025. The order included instructions to assess the prospects for creating a national cryptocurrency reserve for the United States, and it does not mention Bitcoin (BTC) as the basis of the planned reserve fund.

This has caused some confusion among the Bitcoin community. The new approach implies an expansion of the set of cryptocurrencies that will make up the pool of the national reserve, in particular, it may include crypto projects based on high-performance blockchains and various smart contract platforms.

However, some analysts emphasized that Trump's aforementioned statement does not mean that Bitcoin is excluded from the list of candidate assets for the reserve fund. They expressed hope that the US President only meant expanding the pool of the US strategic fund by adding other crypto assets in addition to BTC.

And just two hours later, President Trump supplemented his publication with a statement that Bitcoin and Ethereum will form the core of the US strategic crypto fund, justifying the hopes of Bitcoin optimists.

Recall that during his election campaign, Donald Trump spoke in favor of creating a US national crypto fund as an opportunity to restore faith in the digital economy, shaken as a result of "deep attacks" by the Joe Biden administration. Trump emphasized that the Biden government has weakened the role of the US in the digital industry and promised that, having become president, he will lead the US to the position of a global leader in the cryptocurrency market.

As a result of Donald Trump's statement, the cryptocurrencies XRP, SOL and ADA have dynamically increased in price. The XRP quote showed a 30.7% increase in a matter of hours, SOL (Solana) rose by 31%, and the ADA (Cardano) price made a record-breaking jump up by almost 60%.

Cryptocurrency market participants are set for continued growth in the quotes of SOL, ADA, and XRP coins. It is worth noting that despite the fact that Bitcoin was not mentioned by Trump in the first publication about the national reserve, BTC also grew by 6.2% in a day.

These days, the cryptocurrency industry community is eagerly awaiting news from the crypto summit, which Donald Trump has scheduled to be held in the White House on March 7, 2025.
