Donald Trump Has Just Named the Five Cryptocurrencies That Will Form the US Strategic Reserve

It happened – Donald Trump named five cryptocurrencies that will form the US strategic reserve. $ADA surged 43% in response to the news.

Former President Donald Trump has revealed the five cryptocurrencies that will be included in the US strategic reserve.

In a statement on Saturday, Trump said the move was "a natural progression" given the growing role of digital assets in the global financial system.

"We're talking about Bitcoin, the world's leading cryptocurrency, and Ethereum, the most versatile blockchain network," Trump said.

"Their inclusion is a testament to the innovations that have revolutionized the financial landscape."

The other three cryptocurrencies selected for the reserve are:

* ADA, the native token of Cardano, known for its strong focus on regulatory compliance and an academic, peer-reviewed development approach.

* XRP, the cryptocurrency used by Ripple Labs' network, recognized for its cross-border payment capabilities, crucial for the US in today's interconnected world.

* SOL, the cryptocurrency of Solana, known for its high throughput and low transaction fees, deeming it suitable for handling large volumes of financial activity.

Trump also noted that the president has the authority to add or remove cryptocurrencies from the reserve as deemed necessary.

"This administration takes that responsibility lightly and will ensure that the strategic reserve is always composed of the best performing and most promising cryptocurrencies available," he added.

In response to the news, ADA surged 43% to $0.592 by 7:30 AM ET (11:30 GMT). The other reserve cryptos saw more moderate increases: XRP grew by 14%, SOL by 12%, BTC by 7%, and ETH by 6%.

The broader market, too, did a 180-turn after Friday’s dip.

Trump’s choice of altcoins wasn’t random. The four have the largest market caps among all cryptocurrencies, only excluding stablecoins and BNB (why the reserve doesn’t include BNB is an entirely different question up to discussion).

It’s no wonder the government sees the native coins of these networks as blue-chip investments.

As for ADA, its parent network Cardano prioritizes regulatory compliance and an academic, peer-reviewed development approach, which aligns perfectly with governmental needs.

Now, let’s take a look at three best altcoins to buy before the bull run comes into full force.

1. Solaxy ($SOLX) Helps Solana Scale Up Without Compromising Performance

The Solana ecosystem is poised for even faster growth now that SOL has become part of the national stockpile. However, the network isn’t ready to handle an influx of new crypto projects.

Sudden activity spikes (like when the Trump couple launched their meme coins) often cause network congestion, resulting in slow or failed transactions.

Solaxy ($SOLX) could be the next crypto to explode because its Layer-2 solution aims to speed up verification and lower fees on Solana.

It uses Ethereum’s rollup architecture to bundle transactions and offload them to its side chain for processing before returning them to the main layer.

The $SOLX token presale raised over $24.7M and is now approaching the next milestone, after reaching which the token price will increase. This means now is the last chance to buy $SOLX at $0.001652 per token.

Analysts predict $SOLX to hit $0.032 if it secures listings on Tier-1 exchanges, which is plausible given its role in enhancing Solana’s scalability.

2. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) Loyal Holders With BTC Airdrops

BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is the only meme coin that rewards its HODLers with BTC airdrops. When (not if) BTC hits $150K and $200K, investors holding $BTCBULL in the Best Wallet app will receive a BTC airdrop.

The project also plans a massive $BTCBULL airdrop when BTC reaches $250K. To drive price appreciation, BTC Bull will burn a part of $BTCBULL tokens when BTC hits $125K, $175K, and $225K price targets.

Early adopters can maximize their potential returns with a 137% dynamic staking APY. The yield will decrease as more investors join the pool, so now is the time to take the bull by the horns.

$BTCBULL had enormous early success with $1M raised in two days, which makes it one of the best presales in 2025. One token now costs $0.00239, but the price will increase once the project hits the $3.6M fundraising milestone.

3. Algorand ($ALGO) Might Be the Next Addition to the US Crypto Reserve

$ALGO, the native token of institutionally-focused blockchain Algorand, is a strong contender to join the US crypto reserve in the future.

The project has already partnered with Koibanx to develop El
