"First Crypto Summit at the White House: Expectations Crashed, Market in Shock!"
The long-awaited crypto summit at the White House, focused on the U.S. government's new approach to the digital asset industry, took place. However, instead of the promised breakthrough, the market took a hit: most cryptocurrencies in the top-10 by market capitalization showed a sharp decline.
"Trump Promised a Crypto Future for the U.S., but His Promises Fell Short!"
On March 7th, at the summit, Donald Trump declared that the "war" from the previous administration against digital assets was over, and expressed his intent to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the world." But this was not enough to stir the market!
The President signed an executive order to create a Bitcoin reserve, which will only hold confiscated assets, with no permission to sell them. Additionally, a separate storage for altcoins will be created. Trump promised to end Operation Chokepoint 2.0, which had restricted crypto businesses from accessing traditional banking services. But how this will impact the market remains unclear.
Trump mentioned that government agencies would "explore opportunities" to buy additional BTC, but there’s no certainty about this. All these crypto initiatives cast doubt on any real changes for the industry.
"Crypto Market in Shock: Disappointment Over Government Plans Shrinks Market Cap!"
The uncertainty and lack of clarity in the government's statements, especially regarding the national cryptocurrency reserve, have taken a toll on many assets.
In the last 24 hours, the total market capitalization dropped by 5%, reaching $2.92 trillion.
Bitcoin lost 3.5% of its value. At the time of writing, its price is around $85,900, with a market cap of $1.71 trillion.
"Ethereum Takes a Hit: Price Drops 3%, What's Next?"
Ethereum's price dropped by 3%, falling to $2,100, with a market cap of $257 billion. What does this mean for the future of the second-largest cryptocurrency?
"Shocking Decline: XRP, SOL, and ADA Lose Up to 9% Amid U.S. Crypto Reserve Talks!"
Top contenders for inclusion in the U.S. national crypto reserve — XRP, SOL, and ADA — suffered significant losses: 8.4%, 4.2%, and 9.2% respectively. How will this impact their future?
"A Bright Future for the Crypto Industry: Experts Confident in Positive Forecasts Despite Short-Term Declines!"
Although the summit caused short-term shocks, experts are confident that the long-term impact of the government’s new approach will be overwhelmingly positive for the crypto industry. "Prioritizing Bitcoin as a reserve asset in the U.S. not only solidifies its status as 'digital gold,' but also creates a precedent that could accelerate regulatory development and encourage institutional adoption worldwide," said Vincent Chok, CEO of First Digital.
Experts believe this move will pave the way for a broader shift to blockchain, attracting liquidity into DeFi and increasing interest in other digital assets, including stablecoins.
Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, believes that the creation of a national digital asset reserve reduces the likelihood of a Bitcoin ban and makes cryptocurrency more legitimate in the eyes of investors and regulators.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong emphasized that this will give a new boost to the legalization of digital gold, with other countries, including G20 members, following the U.S. example.
