Altcoins Surge as Trump Includes ADA, SOL, and XRP in US Crypto Reserve

Several alternative cryptocurrencies have outperformed the overall market, with Bitcoin experiencing a significant rebound above $90,000 due to positive news on crypto adoption in the United States. Cardano's (ADA) token saw the biggest increase among the top 100 cryptocurrencies, rising over 43% in a 24-hour period to trade above $0.95. Solana (SOL) and XRP also experienced notable gains, with XRP rising over 15% and SOL nearly 12% on the daily chart, surpassing Bitcoin's 7.3% intraday rise. The rally was attributed to US President Donald Trump's directive to include ADA, SOL, and XRP in the US crypto strategic reserve, as well as strong community support for these altcoins. This recovery in the crypto market may indicate the end of the previous market capitulation, as reported by Cointelegraph on Feb. 20. Trump's announcement regarding the inclusion of ADA, SOL, and XRP in the potential US crypto reserve could mark a significant turning point for these altcoins, suggesting a broader plan beyond Bitcoin and emphasizing US-based crypto projects. Trump reiterated his commitment to establishing a national Bitcoin stockpile during his keynote address at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee.
