Bitcoin of a fifth after Trump lists reserve token

Bitcoin acted a fifth on Monday compared to the lows of the past week and some other cryptocurrencies, of which US President Donald Trump said, would also be included in a new US strategic reserve. Trump said in a post about the promotion of truth that his implementation regulation in January would represent a stock of currencies in January, including Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana and Cardano. The names had not been announced before.

Bitcoin and ether will be the heart of this reserve, he posted on Sunday.

Post sent the world's largest cryptocurrency by more than 20% from the November deep stalls at which they were traded on Friday, and helped the flip mood on a token that has not followed Trump to relax the regulation since mid-January due to disappointment.

It was the last trade with around $ 94,154 compared to the 78,273 US dollars on Friday.

Ether rose by a fifth at the weekend and was last with 2,482 US dollars, XRP rose by 38%, Solana 20%and Cardano by 78%.

Trump's post, in which the inclusion of tokens in the reserve is described, is “clearly a positive shock for the crypto scene and a shot in the arm for a market that desperately needs a catalyst to change the bear trend lower,” said Chris Weston, head of research at Australian online broker Pepperstone.

It is possible that the rally extends into the first crypto summit of the White House, which will be organized on Friday, with the risk that bearness in other markets could weigh up the mood.

While Wall Street was closed on Friday, the recent sale in large technology -bellwether like Nvidia eroded confidence in Bitcoin, which some see as alternative tech proxy.

Bitcoin fell by more than 17%in February, grabbed his largest monthly percentage since June 2022 and lost more than a third of his price since the beginning of January.

The rally since Trump's November elections has been suggested by the optimism that the crypto-friendly president would use a strategic Bitcoin fund and end the procedure of the former Joe Biden government against the industry.

But about a flood of appointments of crypto -friendly civil servants when Trump took office, there has been little concrete news for this policy for investors.

“While this announcement has increased the prices considerably, she also expressed concerns,” wrote the IG market analyst Tony Sycamore.

The financing for cryptocurrency purchases in the reserve could either come from US taxpayers or the cryptocurrencies in the asset will be those that are confiscated in law enforcement measures, he said.

“The latter is not nearly as bullish as it simply represents a transfer between accounts than buying new ones.”
