Crypto stocks rally as Trump touts new strategic crypto reserve Crypto-related stocks, including Coinbase (COIN), Riot (RIOT), and Strategy (MSTR) — previously known as MicroStrategy — moved to the upside on Monday after President Donald Trump announced a strategic crypto reserve. The reserve will include digital assets such as bitcoin (BTC-USD), ethereum (ETH-USD), XRP (XRP-USD), Solana (SOL-USD), and Cardano (ADA-USD). Managing director of CoinDesk Indices Andy Baehr joins Morning Brief to discuss his outlook on the reserve. Baehr emphasizes that the digital assets beyond bitcoin mentioned for the reserve weren't "arbitrarily picked," though they were "a surprise" to investors. "It's a great step forward in the last of a series of very crypto-positive news in the United States," he says, though he cautions that all the details related to this reserve are "way in the future," describing this announcement as more of "an intent." While investors were primarily focused on bitcoin, Baehr believes the addition of other cryptocurrencies and indexing the crypto in the reserve was the right approach. He concludes, "It's very positive. A summit that goes beyond bitcoin shows that the United States, as the president said, wants to be the crypto capital of the world."

This post was written by Josh Lynch Bitcoin's pullback is 'typical,' Senator Lummis explains Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) joins Market Domination to share her perspective on the cryptocurrency market as bitcoin (BTC-USD) drops below $85,000. "It's not unusual for assets, at this point in time, after a change in presidency, to pull back," she explains to Yahoo Finance, adding that it is "typical" in February for assets to see a "slump" after a new president takes office. However, she notes that it would be a "surprise" if bitcoin didn't recover during the second quarter this year. Regarding bitcoin reserve legislation, Lummis emphasizes, "We need to help people understand that short-term volatility is going to happen with bitcoin — it always has. The goal of a strategic reserve is to buy or convert current assets into bitcoin and then hold them ... that way, we can remove the short-term volatility from the equation and look at this as a long-term strategic asset." Nonetheless, she acknowledges, "We have more work to do," though remains confident it can be accomplished under what she considers a "favorable" Trump administration.
