The downturn erased gains from a short-lived rally triggered by Trump’s March 2 announcement of a strategic crypto reserve, which initially included XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), with Trump later expanding the list to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum, calling them the ‘heart of the reserve.’ Yet, Ethereum’s near-term trajectory remains uncertain, with investors divided on…

The move comes just a day after President Donald Trump announced he’s directed the Presidential Working Group to “move forward” with plans to establish a “crypto strategic reserve”—a federal stockpile of state-owned digital assets—which would include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and XRP.
