Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong commented on US President
Donald Trump's recent plan to establish a crypto reserve. The plan, announced
on Sunday (yesterday), proposes including bitcoin, ether, SOL, XRP, and ADA in
a “Crypto Strategic Reserve.”
Trump's social media announcements about crypto reserves
triggered a rally in the crypto market on Sunday. However, XRPUSD is undergoing
a bearish correction on the H1 chart today. The cryptocurrency appears to be
forming a double bottom at a flipped support level, where buyers could enter
long positions and potentially drive the price higher.
Coinbase CEO Favors Bitcoin in Reserve
Armstrong suggested that limiting the reserve to bitcoin
would be the simplest approach, The Block reported.
“Just Bitcoin would probably be the best option —
simplest, and clear story as successor to gold,” Armstrong wrote in an X
post, adding that he was still forming an opinion on asset allocation.
He added: “If folks wanted more variety, you could do a market
cap-weighted index of crypto assets to keep it unbiased. But probably option #1
is easiest.”
Crypto Reserve Faces Uncertainty in Implementation
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes expressed skepticism about
the proposal. He argued that the announcement is “just words” without
congressional approval or funding to purchase digital assets.
Trump's announcement signals ongoing discussions around
digital assets in the US. However, the plan's implementation remains uncertain.

XRPUSD Faces Key Support at 2.57000
The XRPUSD H1 chart shows a strong bullish move followed by
rejection around $3, forming a double top. The price then moved lower, bouncing
at 2.57000. Currently, the price seems to have found support at this level and
may form a double bottom. If this pattern develops, buyers could re-enter,
potentially driving the price higher.
However, if the price breaks below 2.57000, sellers may
continue pushing the price down. In that case, a bullish trend line will be an
important level to watch closely.
Ripple Forms Strategic Alliances, Supports Philanthropy,
and Faces Legal Challenges
Ripple has been involved in several significant
developments. South Korea's institutional crypto storage firm BDACS
will use Ripple Custody to secure XRP and RLUSD, a dollar-pegged stablecoin
issued by Ripple. This partnership targets institutional clients seeking secure
storage for digital assets.
Investor activity in XRP remains strong, with whales
acquiring 520
million tokens during a recent price dip, indicating continued interest.
The SEC's reassignment of Jorge Tenreiro, who oversaw Ripple’s case, has raised
questions about the agency's future stance on crypto litigation.
Ripple has made progress in Japan, with expectations that banks
will adopt the XRP Ledger by 2025, aiming to improve cross-border payments
and currency conversions for remittances.
The debate over XRP's inclusion in a US crypto reserve
continues, with centralization concerns complicating the discussion. Ripple’s
Chief Technology Officer, David
Schwartz, defended the decentralization of the XRP Ledger, highlighting its
resilience against manipulation.
