What will the US Bitcoin reserve be like?

Trump is considering the idea of a strategic cryptocurrency reserve that would prioritise coins with American developers. According to the New York Post’s sources, we’re primarily talking about USDC, Solana, and XRP.

The report claims that the newly elected President met with the creators of the above assets over the past weeks, where the initiative was discussed.


Note that a week ago, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse actually published a photo with Trump and claimed to have had a "great dinner." And this is at least indirect evidence of a new version of the next actions of the administration of the US president.


As noted by insiders on condition of anonymity, such a move would go against Donald Trump’s campaign promises. Still, during the presidential campaign he promised to create a Bitcoin reserve, not the reserve of other cryptocurrencies. Accordingly, this step will surely become a reason for criticism from the BTC community, which is one of the largest in the industry.

However, it will not take long to argue over what is happening. According to analysts, Trump’s actions as president are able to bring the “golden age for cryptocurrencies” closer, so the overall positivity in the industry will be able to overcome possible internal differences in the field of digital assets.

Recall that Trump's promises on the crypto industry before winning the US presidential election were comprehensive. He announced his willingness to fire SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, release Silk Road darknet marketplace founder Ross Ulbricht from prison, allow banks to interact with crypto by cancelling SAB 121, end the so-called Operation Bump 2.0 and turn the U.S. into a crypto capital along with the activation of BTC mining.


Here’s The Block’s Special Projects Manager Frank Chaparro’s rejoinder on what’s going on.

The entire market is breathing a sigh of relief. We are seeing a tectonic shift in the approach and tone of the government and regulators. Practically speaking, something like this means that banks will now be allowed to interact with cryptocurrencies – for the past four years they have been prohibited from doing so.

Donald Trump’s inauguration will take place on Monday 20 January. It is believed that the newly elected president may sign a number of decrees on the first day of work, and among them will also find documents on cryptocurrencies.

It was also reported yesterday that the Securities Commission’s policy on cryptocurrencies will be amended as early as next week. Apparently, the regulator may freeze legal proceedings against cryptocurrency companies that do not involve allegations of fraud.

Why buy cryptocurrencies

The normalisation of crypto regulation in the US will make this asset category more attractive in the eyes of investors. However, the younger generation already sees coins as a full-fledged replacement for the traditional retirement savings system.

According to a fresh study by Bitget Research, 40 per cent of young investors have already invested in crypto. This indicates a “generational shift” in financial planning, analysts believe.

Cryptocurrency investors during the bullrun

According to their data, up to 20 per cent of Zoomers and members of Generation Alpha would be comfortable with a possible cryptocurrency pension. Plus, 78 per cent of respondents reported more confidence in “alternative retirement savings options” compared to the traditional system.

Here’s a rejoinder to this, as quoted by Cointelegraph.

Many are sceptical of old systems and are increasingly leaning towards decentralised finance and blockchain-based solutions.

Analysts suggest that crypto will become an even more popular instrument among capital holders in 2025. This will be fuelled by more transparent regulation of digital assets – primarily in the US – as well as the continued growth in the value of crypto, which is the best advertisement for the blockchain industry.

Cryptocurrency investors are in the bullrun

Bitget CEO Gracie Chen sees the survey results as a “wake-up call for the financial industry.” He said the following.

Younger generations are no longer content with one-size-fits-all pension systems. They are looking for modern solutions that offer more control, flexibility and transparency.


Apparently, Donald Trump is serious about realising his campaign promise, which means we will hear about the prospects of creating a national cryptocurrency reserve in the near future. Plus, this is fuelled by what's happening in other US states that are considering allocating capital for BTC. Which means crypto will surely benefit from a change in the US president.
