Is Trump’s Crypto Reserve a Financial Time Bomb?

Mar 4, 2025, 12:46 PM EST

On Sunday, Donald Trump made a bold—and highly controversial—announcement: the creation of a U.S. sovereign crypto reserve, backing assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. He claims it will cement America’s dominance in digital assets, but behind the headlines lies a far more troubling reality.

Who really benefits from this? And is it even possible?

From insider connections to market manipulation concerns, this move raises serious questions. Can a government-backed crypto fund ever be a reliable store of value? Or is this just another speculative bubble waiting to burst?

One thing is certain: gold doesn’t play favourites, doesn’t rely on political whims, and has stood the test of time.

Watch our take on this, over on GoldCore TV as Jan Skoyles breaks down what Trump’s crypto plan really means—and why it makes gold more important than ever.
