Trump’s Crypto Reserve Announcement Triggers $300 Billion Market Surge

Published: 03-03-2025, 05:45 pm | Updated: 03-03-2025, 09:33 am

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday via Truth Social the specific cryptocurrencies to be included in a new U.S. strategic reserve of digital assets, following his January executive order.

The plan will include Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano, with Trump later emphasizing that “BTC and ETH… will be at the heart of the Reserve.” This news triggered an immediate market surge, with Bitcoin jumping more than 11% to $94,164 and Ethereum rising about 13% to $2,516. The total cryptocurrency market gained over $300 billion within hours of the announcement.

Industry experts view this as a significant policy shift. Federico Brokate from 21Shares described it as signaling “active participation in the crypto economy by the U.S. government” with potential to “accelerate institutional adoption” and strengthen American leadership in digital innovation.

However, CoinShares’ James Butterfill expressed surprise at the inclusion of assets beyond Bitcoin. He noted that cryptocurrencies like XRP, Solana and Cardano are “more akin to tech investments,” suggesting the announcement reflects “a more patriotic stance toward the broader crypto technology space.”

Does Physical Gold Have Counterparty Risk? The Facts

When you deposit money at a bank, you are not storing it. You are lending it.

This explainer covers the mechanism and how to structure both approaches correctly.

Gold Near $4,330 as Rate-Hike Bets Hit 70% and China Acts

Five forces are moving gold and silver right now. Strong U.S. jobs data has pushed Fed rate-hike odds above 70%. China’s biggest banks raised gold trading margins to 120% — pushing leverage below 1x. The People’s Bank of China extended its buying streak to 19 straight months. Iran announced an end to its military operation against Israel, steadying metals after last week’s 5% pullback. And elevated oil is keeping inflation expectations alive. Here is what each one means for long-term precious metals holders.

Gold Is Down 22% — The Same Drop as 2022. The Floor Is Not the Same.

Gold Is Down 22% — The Same Drop as 2022. The Floor Is Not the Same.

Gold has fallen 22% from its January 2026 all-time high of $5,589 — the same magnitude as the entire 2022 Fed hiking cycle. But in 2022, the Fed delivered 525 actual basis points of rate increases. Today, markets are pricing roughly a 43–50% probability of a single speculative hike that hasn’t happened yet. Same number. Very different floor. Here’s what the gap between those two corrections is telling long-term holders of physical gold.

Silver Falls 6% on Jobs Beat. The Six-Year Deficit Didn't.

Silver Falls 6% on Jobs Beat. The Six-Year Deficit Didn’t.

Silver fell nearly 6% after May’s blowout jobs report sent rate hike odds to 67% and the 10-year Treasury to 4.54%. Gold dropped too — but only half as much. Here’s why: silver runs on two engines. The jobs report hit the monetary one hard. The industrial one — solar, EVs, AI infrastructure — didn’t flinch. And the World Silver Survey 2026 deficit of 46.3 million ounces? Unchanged. One Friday’s data moves prices. It doesn’t move ounces.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
