Hey, crypto fam!

March is off to a fiery start, and the crypto world isn’t slowing down! 

Trump’s move to create a crypto strategic reserve sent Bitcoin and altcoins out of their slump, albeit temporarily. Meanwhile, scammers are cooking up fake government-backed coins, and Berachain is trying to undo a little “oops, we sold too much” moment.

As usual, here is a roundup of the stories that rocked the industry in the last seven days. Enjoy!

Biggest Story

The U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve Sparks Market Surge

The speculations and rumours are finally confirmed—Donald Trump has announced the establishment of a Crypto Strategic Reserve to position the United States as a global leader in digital assets. The reserve will include Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano, marking a significant shift from past regulatory hostility.

As part of this initiative, Trump signed an executive order creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, funded by Bitcoin seized through federal asset forfeitures. White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks estimates the government holds 200,000 BTC, though no audit has been conducted. The order prohibits selling Bitcoin from the reserve, likening it to a “digital Fort Knox.”

The announcement triggered a crypto rally, with Bitcoin surging 10% to $92,900 ahead of Trump’s White House Crypto Summit on March 7, where key stakeholders will discuss regulatory policies and the reserve’s composition.

Industry leaders, including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Gemini’s Winklevoss twins, are debating which assets should be included, with some advocating for Bitcoin as the sole reserve asset.
