As the federal government prepares to consider a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, states are weighing adopting reserves of their own
The cryptocurrency industry has pushed President-elect Donald J. Trump to establish one, creating real political momentum behind the plan.
The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, ethereum, and XRP, also posted gains this week. Ethereum is currently trading at more than $3,425 at the time of writing. XRP, too, saw a breakout price exceeding $3, allowing it to reach a seven -year high, transforming the token into the world's third -highest valued cryptocurrency.
There are already media reports that other nations, including Japan, Russia and China, are accumulating bitcoin ahead of a possible SBR announcement by the US. And Trump has even indicated that he might repeal a controversial crypto accounting rule that would allow banks to hold more bitcoin.
Bitcoin ( BTC 4.81%) has led the way, rising 5.6% in the past 24 hours as of 12:30 p.m. ET and nearly crossing $105,000 per token. Ethereum ( ETH 3.33%) is up a more modest 2.6% in that time, and Dogecoin ( DOGE 8.00%) is up 7.3%.
The fall comes after the cryptocurrency experienced a meteoric rise, fueled in part by the reelection of Donald Trump.
