The crypto market is on fire after President Trump’s surprise announcement of a U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve. Since last Friday, the total market cap has surged nearly 20%, sparking a wave of excitement among investors. On March 3, Bitcoin briefly hit $95,000, while Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP saw gains between 9% and 25%.
But that’s not all – altcoins and meme coins are rallying hard, and whale activity is picking up steam. With Trump doubling down on crypto-friendly policies and his White House Crypto Summit just around the corner, let’s understand what could be coming next.
On Sunday, Trump posted on social media that he had signed an executive order instructing the Presidential Working Group to move forward with a Crypto Strategic Reserve featuring XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA).
The news initially caused Bitcoin dominance to drop from 55.4% to under 50% as traders shifted focus to these altcoins.
An hour later, Trump followed up, revealing that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) would also be part of the reserve. The announcement triggered a sharp rally:

Among the top-performing assets in the past 24 hours (with a market cap over $1 billion), Cardano, XRP, the Official Trump Memecoin, and Solana led the pack. Meanwhile, BNB had the smallest gain among the top 10 non-stablecoins, rising 2.55%.
