Donald Trump's announcement about adding XRP, Solana, and Cardano to the US strategic crypto reserve caused a surge in the market, but it was met with criticism from the industry. Industry leaders like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong believed only Bitcoin should be included, while Jan3 CEO Samson Mow warned that including random altcoins could create chaos and speculation in the market. Mow suggested prioritizing proof-of-work-based assets like Litecoin and Monero to protect the reserve's integrity. He also questioned Trump's motives, suggesting it could be a way to benefit Ripple or Cardano lobbyists. The article concludes that including random altcoins in the national reserve could have negative implications for the US, and hinted at the possibility of Dogecoin being rationalized for inclusion due to Elon Musk's influence.
