According to information from the New York Post, President-elect of the USA Donald Trump is considering a strategy to create a crypto reserve based on the “America First” principle. The plan includes the incorporation of US-based digital assets such as Solana (SOL), USD Coin (USDC), and Ripple (XRP) into the national reserve. Previously, Trump spoke only about purchasing 1 million bitcoins.
According to the publication’s sources, Trump has held meetings with the founders of these projects and expressed willingness to support the idea of adding American-origin cryptocurrencies to the national crypto reserve. This approach aligns with his campaign promises to make the USA a global leader in the crypto industry.
These potential plans by Trump have already caused concern among the crypto community, especially among Bitcoin (BTC) enthusiasts. They believe that focusing on American cryptocurrencies could divert attention from the previously stated goal of making Bitcoin the main digital asset in the USA.
Interestingly, the sponsors for the crypto ball planned for January 17th include companies like Coinbase (one of the issuers of USD Coin), Solana, and Kraken.
Also, recently Eric Trump revealed that his crypto portfolio includes four tickers: BTC, ETH, SOL, and SUI.
