Bitwise believes the reserve will focus on Bitcoin, despite concerns over speculative assets like Cardano.
If the US establishes a crypto reserve, other nations may follow, with assets held for extended periods.
President Trump vowed to return with the votes required to pass the bills.
US President Donald Trump's announcement last weekend
regarding the creation of a strategic crypto reserve in the United States has
sparked mixed reactions in the market, according to a report released by asset
manager Bitwise, according to Coindesk.
Following the announcement, crypto markets saw a surge, only
to reverse those gains by Monday. Bitwise attributed this market behaviour to
investor dissatisfaction with the inclusion of multiple tokens in the proposed
reserve, rather than just Bitcoin (BTC).
Meanwhile, BTCUSD, after showing bullish momentum earlier
today (Wednesday), is now experiencing a bearish correction on the H1 chart.
Trump's Crypto Reserve Faces Mixed Reactions

The President's announcement mentioned several
cryptocurrencies, including XRP, Solana, and Cardano, with Bitcoin
and Ether added later. Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer, Matt
Hougan, expressed concern over the inclusion of “speculative assets”
like Cardano, suggesting that the move appeared more strategic than calculated.
Despite what Bitwise termed as a “flawed rollout,”
the report argued that the market’s reaction was premature. It pointed out that
Trump's initial proposals often change, and the final reserve could focus
primarily on Bitcoin, potentially exceeding market expectations in size.
US Crypto Reserve Could Lead Global Shift
Bitwise also predicted that if the US does proceed with
creating a crypto reserve, other countries are likely to follow suit. Any
assets acquired by the US would likely be held for a long period.
The report concluded that the US government's decision to
classify cryptocurrencies as “strategic” is a bullish development for
the market. It suggested that the market's initial negative reaction would
likely be tempered over time.
BTCUSD Faces Rejection, Buyers Await Support
The BTCUSD H1 chart shows the price finding support around
82,450. Following the last bounce, it formed a bullish engulfing candle and
moved upward. After consolidating, it continued its ascent but faced rejection
near 91,000.
At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency has formed three
consecutive bearish candles. Therefore, buyers may need to wait for the price
to find strong support followed by a bullish reversal pattern before entering
long positions again.

DeepSeek AI Outlines Bitcoin Scenarios for 2025
Bitcoin has been trading below 100K for some time, with this
level acting as resistance, which may limit buyers' momentum. However, from a
broader perspective, DeepSeek
AI has identified three possible scenarios for Bitcoin in 2025. In the base
case, Bitcoin is projected to trade between $100,000 and $150,000, as reported
by Finance Magnates.
In a bullish “hyperbitcoinization” scenario, the price could
reach $350,000. A black swan scenario suggests a peak of $500,000. These
projections are based on expectations of increased institutional adoption and
broader blockchain acceptance in global finance. However, DeepSeek AI
emphasizes the uncertainty and volatility surrounding these predictions.
