The cryptocurrency market has experienced a price boom due to US President Donald Trump’s full acceptance of digital assets, which has also increased dangers for businesses and investors while opening up new opportunities.
On his Truth Social network, Mr. Trump stated last week that the United States was considering establishing a strategic reserve of digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano as possible core holdings.
As traders rushed to realign their wagers, the move hurt Bitcoin through financial markets, rising as much as 11% to $95,000 on March 2 and then slightly down to $88,000 on March 6.
A cryptocurrency reserve would legitimize the asset class by creating government-backed holdings, just like Fort Knox does for gold. The stockpile could serve as a buffer against inflation and help the US achieve its policy objectives.
However, does this mean digital assets are becoming widely used, or are we just seeing another round of speculation? And will a national reserve become a taxpayer-funded gamble, or should businesses and investors place bets on cryptocurrency? The statement follows a turbulent time for digital assets, when a string of scandals, including a record-breaking $1.5 billion Ethereum theft, caused $800 billion to be wiped out of cryptocurrency markets in recent weeks.
