Trump Adds ADA, XRP, SOL to U.S. Crypto Reserve

The cryptocurrency market rebounded sharply as Bitcoin surged past the $90,000 psychological level, triggering a significant rally in select altcoins.

Among the top performers, Cardano (ADA) led the way with a 43% gain, while XRP and Solana (SOL) followed with 15% and 12% increases, respectively. Bitcoin itself rose 7.3% in the past 24 hours.

🚀 What’s Driving the Rally? Trump’s Crypto Reserve Plan

The surge came just one day after U.S. President Donald Trump directed his Working Group on Digital Assets to include ADA, XRP, and SOL in the country’s strategic crypto reserve.

🔹 Cardano (ADA): Up 43%, trading at $0.95
🔹 XRP: Up 15%, trading at $2.65
🔹 Solana (SOL): Up 12%, trading at $162.77
🔹 Bitcoin (BTC): Up 7.3%, trading at $93,107

According to Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder and COO of blockchain oracle provider RedStone, Trump’s move was a key catalyst behind the surge:

“The primary reason [behind the rally] is Trump including these three coins in the U.S. reserves. Soon after, he followed with a tweet confirming BTC and ETH would obviously be the core of the reserve.”

📊 Market Analysts React: A New Turning Point?

This rally could mark the end of the recent market capitulation, which saw 24% of the top 200 cryptocurrencies drop to one-year lows just weeks ago.

🔹 Juan Pellicer, senior research analyst at IntoTheBlock, told Cointelegraph that Trump’s announcement is a game-changer:

“While the idea of a reserve had been floated before, this marks the first time specific altcoins were highlighted, suggesting that the plan extends beyond Bitcoin and likely emphasizes U.S.-based crypto projects.”

Trump had previously promised to establish a “strategic national Bitcoin stockpile” at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee.

During his keynote speech, he stated:

“It will be the policy of my administration — the United States of America — to keep 100% of all the Bitcoin the government currently holds or acquires into the future. We will keep a hundred percent.”

💡 The Bigger Picture: What’s Next for Crypto?

Trump’s endorsement of altcoins in the U.S. reserve could set a precedent for broader institutional adoption and potential regulatory clarity for projects like Cardano, XRP, and Solana.

🔹 Could the U.S. government start actively accumulating altcoins?
🔹 Will this shift investor sentiment toward ADA, XRP, and SOL as long-term holds?
🔹 How will regulatory agencies like the SEC react to Trump’s crypto policy shift?

With Bitcoin now comfortably above $90,000 and altcoins rallying, investors are closely watching for further policy developments that could shape the next bull cycle.

For now, the crypto market is riding high on Trump’s latest pro-crypto stance—and ADA, XRP, and SOL holders are seeing major gains because of it. 🚀
