Trump\u2019s latest pronouncement did not specify how the reserve shall be funded beyond what was already included in the US\u2019 crypto holdings. Instead of clarity, the statement was just a commitment to retain crypto holdings, with no specifics on funding.<\/p>\n
The president’s disclosure on a possible stockpile spurred conversations and debates among analysts and critics. Many crypto holders and supporters backed the possible inclusion of SOL, XRP, and ADA.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stock broker and financial commentator Peter Schiff shared his thoughts on the plan, saying the US government should limit the assets included in the pile. He specifically identified \u201cseized assets\u201d, so the government should not buy additional SOL, ADA, XRP, and ETH.<\/p>\n
