Former President Donald Trump has announced plans to create a "crypto strategic reserve," aligning it with existing U.S. reserves of gold and oil, and is supported by a new digital assets working group. Critics have expressed concerns over the inclusion of high-risk crypto tokens in the reserve, which could lead to conflicts of interest and highlight challenges in integrating cryptocurrencies into national economic strategies. The initiative raises broader issues of governance and regulatory oversight, with past actions by administration officials potentially blurring ethical lines and influencing decision-making processes related to digital assets.
