Trump’s White House Crypto Summit: Which Altcoins Will Benefit from the New Strategy?
President Trump's upcoming White House Crypto Summit is expected to significantly impact crypto regulation and institutional adoption.
The summit will feature key industry figures and focus on selecting altcoins for the U.S. crypto reserve, prioritizing U.S.-based projects.
Analysts anticipate potential market volatility around the summit, warning of a "buy the rumor, sell the news" effect.
The upcoming White House Crypto Summit, hosted by President Trump, is shaping up to be a game-changing event for the crypto industry. Analyst Miles Deutscher believes this could be the most significant crypto event of Q1, as it sets the stage for regulatory discussions and potential institutional adoption.
What makes this summit so important? For starters, it’s bringing together some of the biggest names in crypto, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor. But beyond that, many expect game-changing revelations – especially regarding the U.S. government’s crypto reserve strategy.
With Bitcoin already confirmed to have a special role, the big question now is: which altcoins will make the cut? And how could this shake up the market? Here’s what you need to know.
Trump’s Strategic Crypto Reserve
Following Trump’s announcement of the official U.S. crypto reserve, major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL) are already confirmed to be included. Moreover, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed a Bitcoin reserve with altcoins, though Bitcoin will have a special status.
Which Altcoins Could Be Added?
A key question now is which other altcoins might be included. With Trump focused on bringing crypto innovation back to the U.S., there’s a strong chance that American-developed projects and those with institutional backing will be prioritized.
According to analyst Miles Deutscher, investors should watch for altcoins that fall into these categories:
- ETF candidates
- U.S.-based tokens
- Projects previously mentioned by Trump
- Cryptos represented at the summit
Tokens that fit into multiple categories may have the most potential to benefit.
Top Altcoins to Watch
Based on these factors, Deutscher has identified eight altcoins that align with Trump’s strategy:
- Bonk (BONK)
- Polkadot (DOT)
- Chainlink (LINK)
- Litecoin (LTC)
- Hedera (HBAR)
- Trump (TRUMP)
- Melania (MELANIA)
- Avalanche (AVAX)
Other U.S.-Based Tokens Gaining Attention
Beyond these, other U.S.-based projects with strong community engagement include:
- Filecoin (FIL)
- Sui (SUI)
- Aptos (APT)
- Near Protocol (NEAR)
- Move (MOVE)
Additionally, decentralized finance and payments-related tokens like Aave (AAVE), Stellar (XLM), and Ondo (ONDO) are being closely watched, especially given Trump’s past connections to some of these projects.
Bitcoin vs. Altcoins: A Growing Debate
A major discussion ahead of the summit is how Bitcoin’s status compares to altcoins. Some analysts, including Anthony Pompliano, have raised concerns about adding centralized assets like XRP to the reserve, particularly with the ongoing SEC lawsuit.
Market Impact and Risks
While many expect the summit to be a long-term boost for the crypto market, Deutscher warns that traders should be cautious of a potential “buy the rumor, sell the news” effect. Even if the U.S. reserve announcement provides long-term support, short-term price swings are likely, making technical analysis an important factor for traders.
With the summit approaching, all eyes are on the altcoins that could benefit and how the market will react. Whether this event leads to a lasting crypto rally or just short-term excitement remains to be seen. One thing is certain – crypto has become a major topic in U.S. politics.
