- SOL surges 12% amid speculation about its role in a U.S. digital reserve.
- Trump’s “America First” plan focuses on U.S.-originated assets like Solana, USDC, and XRP.
- Solana’s market inflows rise, signaling growing optimism about its potential role in U.S. crypto policy.
Solana—SOL, surged 12.5% in just 24 hours, grabbing the attention of investors. This jump came right after rumors circulated about Solana playing a central role in a proposed U.S. strategic digital reserve, part of the “America First” initiative. Could this be the start of a major shift in U.S. crypto policy and a turning point for Solana?
Trump’s Strategic Digital Reserve Plan Sparks Debate
The proposal to create an “America First” strategic digital reserve is causing quite a stir. While many celebrate Trump’s expected pro-crypto executive orders, focusing on U.S.-based assets like Solana, USDC, and XRP raises concerns. Sources suggest Trump is actively engaging with these projects’ founders. However, some fear this focus on U.S.-centric coins could weaken Bitcoin’s role globally. Still, others believe this move could lead to a “crypto golden age,” reshaping U.S. digital asset policy for the better.
Solana’s Surge and Growing Market Optimism
Since January 16, Solana has gained over 12.5%, outperforming major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. While XRP saw a massive 57% spike, Solana’s rise reflects growing confidence in its role in U.S. crypto policy.
The surge in SOL’s market inflows further highlights this shift in sentiment. Data from CoinGlass shows a sharp increase in inflows, suggesting buyers are eager to invest in Solana amid potential policy changes. If Solana becomes a cornerstone of U.S. crypto policy, adoption could soar.
The upcoming Firedancer upgrade and Solana’s growing DeFi presence add to this optimism. However, some investors remain cautious about the impact of U.S.-focused policies on the broader global decentralization movement. For now, SOL is poised to continue thriving in the market.
