U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest announcement about adding select cryptocurrencies to the U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserves has ignited discussions across the crypto space. With Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) ETFs already in place, and Solana (SOL), XRP, and Cardano (ADA) expected to follow, attention has now turned to other potential candidates. Here are the possible altcoins next to be added to the crypto reserve.

Given Trump’s push for a U.S.-controlled crypto strategy, these tokens could be next in line for institutional backing.
Dogecoin (DOGE), with a massive $32.4 billion market cap, stands out as a strong contender. Given its popularity and links to prominent figures like Elon Musk, it wouldn’t be surprising if it finds favor in Trump’s strategy with a possibility of Dogecoin ETF getting approval soon.
Hedera (HBAR) and Chainlink (LINK), both valued at $10.4 billion, could also be appealing due to their blockchain infrastructure capabilities, which align with national security and financial interests.
Litecoin, which was created as a faster alternative to Bitcoin in 2011, is closer to getting SEC approval for a spot Litecoin ETF. Experts believe there is a 90% chance it will be approved by the end of the year.
Apart from all Avalanche, Polkadot & Aptos with market caps of $9.6 billion, $7.52 billion, and $3.74 billion, respectively also have strong foundations. These tokens could be next in Trump’s crypto reserves, helping shape the future of U.S. digital assets.
Trump’s Crypto Strategy
Perhaps CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju recently expressed concerns that the U.S. is using crypto as a tool for economic dominance. His remarks suggest that the Trump administration’s stance prioritizes digital assets that serve national interests while leaving others unprotected.
Trump’s selective support for certain assets has sparked debates about whether crypto is becoming more centralized under political influence. If his administration continues along this path, we could see a major shift in how cryptocurrencies are regulated and adopted in the U.S.
