The US government is making a special collection of cryptocurrencies, like a digital treasure chest! It's called a Strategic Crypto Reserve and it will hold different types of digital money. This is a big deal because it shows the government is taking crypto seriously.
- The reserve will include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA).
- Some people think only Bitcoin should be in the reserve because it's the most well-known.
- Others say having different cryptocurrencies shows the government is open to all kinds of digital money.
