Bitcoin and other digital currencies will be included in the US Crypto Strategic Reserve, US President Donald Trump has said.
“I will make the United States the crypto capital of the world,” he wrote on his social network Truth Social on Sunday.
Trump issued an executive order on digital assets, which ordered him to work on the creation of such a reserve. Along with bitcoin, it will include such cryptocurrencies as Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano.
In this case, bitcoin and ether will become the “heart of the reserve”.
Bitcoin fell by 2.1% to $92,358 thousand by 10:03 a.m. on Monday, according to Coindesk. After Trump’s statements the day before, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency rose in price by more than 10%. Over the past year, its value has jumped by 36.4%.
