In an emerging sector like cryptocurrency, changing regulatory regimes can be a threat, an opportunity, or a mix of both. In keeping with the new presidential administration in the U.S., there's yet another change investors need to be wary of or, perhaps, position themselves to take advantage of.

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on social media announced the names of five digital assets he expects to include in a new U.S. strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies on Sunday, spiking the market value of each. Trump said in a post on Truth Social that his January executive order on digital assets would create a stockpile of currencies including bitcoin, ether, XRP, solana and cardano. More than an hour later, Trump added: "And, obviously, BTC and ETH, as other valuable Cryptocurrencies, will be at the heart of the Reserve."

Donald Trump announces plans for a U.S. Crypto Reserve including XRP, SOL, and ADA—without Bitcoin.

For Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) investors, 2025 hasn't started off the way it was supposed to. Instead of skyrocketing in price, Bitcoin has dipped below $90,000, and is now trading at a three-month low. Despite this surprising turn of events, Cathie Wood of Ark Invest continues to double down on her bold Bitcoin predictions.

After the successful launch of new spot ETFs for both Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) last year, it's perhaps no surprise that the race is now on to offer investors an even broader array of single-crypto ETFs this year. Right now, the three top prospects appear to be XRP (CRYPTO: XRP), Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), and Litecoin (CRYPTO: LTC).

Despite Switzerland’s growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies, SNB's President dismissed them as a "niche phenomenon."

The inflows come amid a slight market recovery as BTC rebounds from its monthly low, over growing pro-crypto stance from the Trump administration.
