U.S. Creates Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve, Sparking Market Growth

The addition of Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano results in considerable price surges.
On March 3, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the establishment of a U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve, which will include Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano.

This initiative seeks to position the United States as a frontrunner in the digital asset sector and signifies a major change in the government’s perspective on cryptocurrencies.

In the wake of the announcement, the cryptocurrency market saw significant growth.

Bitcoin's price surged by about 9%, reaching $93,000 and adding $166 billion to its market capitalization.

Ether's value rose by 13%, hitting $2,516.

XRP increased from $2.23 to $2.99, Solana's price climbed from $140 to $168, and Cardano's value soared from $0.68 to nearly $1. The overall cryptocurrency market grew by more than $300 billion.

This development signifies a considerable shift in the government's attitude towards digital assets, which could speed up institutional adoption and strengthen U.S. leadership in digital asset innovation.

A White House crypto summit, featuring important industry stakeholders, is set for March 7 to discuss future regulatory frameworks and the impact of cryptocurrencies on the U.S. financial system.
