President Donald Trump added XRP, SOL, and ADA to the U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserves first.
CryptoQuant CEO suggests Trumpโs strategy favors assets that benefit U.S. interests.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are seen as โneither allies nor enemiesโ under Trump administration.
Donald Trumpโs decision to include select cryptocurrencies in the U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserves has stirred intense debate in the crypto space. According to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, the U.S. is now using the crypto market as a strategic tool, especially for its national interests.
A Strategic Shift in Crypto?
In a recent tweet post, Ki Young Ju highlighted that Trump initially pointed to XRP, SOL, and ADA, as the national crypto reserve. Perhaps later after two hours, trump posted another post on Truth Terminal stating that,ย
โAnd, obviously, BTC and ETH, as other valuable Cryptocurrencies, will be the heart of the Reserve.โ
This has led to speculation that Trump is showing stronger support for the first three assets while keeping Bitcoin and Ethereum in a neutral position.
He further noted that since Trumpโs election, global moral standards have declined, and actions that align with Trumpโs policies are no longer considered illegal. Instead of setting strict rules, the new approach seems to support assets that benefit the U.S. while leaving others unprotected.
Crypto as a U.S. Economic Weapon?
The post further suggests that the United States is using the crypto market as a tool for economic dominance. According to Ju, Trumpโs approach is clear, cryptocurrencies that serve U.S. interests will be favored, while those that do not may face increasing challenges.
While the focus has been on pro-Trump tokens, Bitcoin and Ethereum find themselves in a unique position. Ki Young Ju suggested that they are now viewed as โneither allies nor enemies,โ signaling uncertainty about how the U.S. government will treat them moving forward.
What Next For Bitcoin and Ethereum?
If Trumpโs administration continues to push this agenda, cryptocurrencies like XRP, SOL, and ADA could see increased institutional support and regulatory advantages.
But since Trump did not focus on Bitcoin & Ethereum in his latest announcement, it remains uncertain how they will be positioned in the evolving regulatory landscape.
