The president argued that the creation of this strategic reserve seeks to “elevate the crypto industry” after what he called “corrupt attacks” during the Joe Biden administration, including regulatory investigations and restrictions on several blockchain projects. Meanwhile, Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, surpassed $93.000 following Trump’s announcement.

Trump leads crypto policy: from Biden restrictions to “strategic reserve”

Trump's arrival at the White House has marked a turning point in the US government's relationship with cryptocurrencies. During Biden's term, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launched more than 20 lawsuits against companies in the sector, including emblematic cases such as Ripple, Opensea and Uniswap. Trump, on the other hand, has withdrawn pending investigations and promoted a more flexible regulatory framework, promising to encourage innovation and development in the sector. 

In line with the above, Trump has signed a new executive order in which the creation of the Strategic Reserve of Cryptocurrencies is ordered of the country, one that will not only store cryptocurrencies like Cardano and XRP, but will seek to “protect them from political interference,” he said on social media.
