Crypto Market This Week Sees US Bitcoin Reserve & Crypto Stockpile

U.S. President Donald Trump announced a strategic Bitcoin reserve for America this week. This reserve is expected to encompass roughly 200,000 Bitcoins, which are currently held by the government through the cessation of funds involved in criminal and illicit activities.

Intriguingly, Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick have been appointed officials who will focus on potential resources to help the reserve acquire more BTC ahead. Trump revealed that these BTC coins are also not to be sold ahead, offering the reserve more value.

Further, the nation expects to see a ‘crypto stockpile’ comprised of assets like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and XRP ahead, per Trump’s announcement. The main difference between the two sagas is that while the government will put efforts into acquiring more BTC, no active efforts for upsizing the crypto stockpile are to be made. Altogether, these were the major pro-crypto advancements in the U.S. this week.

Crypto Summit: What’s The Scoop?

Simultaneously, the cryptocurrency market saw a White House crypto summit this week, which was hosted by President Donald Trump and Crypto Czar David Sacks.

Notably, Trump showcased strong efforts to end “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” which has been putting regulatory pressure on banks, leading them to close accounts of crypto businesses. Further, the 47th U.S. President continued reflecting strong support for cryptocurrencies, hinting that the government’s stance is primed to be more favorable for digital assets ahead.

Overall, the Bitcoin reserve announcement, crypto summit, and a crypto stockpile launch ahead have sparked noteworthy market optimism.

XRP price also faced turbulence and exchanged hands at $2.32 as the week closed, up by only 3% in 7 days. Lastly, SOL price lost 3.5% weekly and rested at $138, in line with the broader market trend.
