With the announcement from President Donald Trump on March 2 for plans to create a national cryptocurrency reserve, which is set to include Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), XRP (CRYPTO: XRP), Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), and a couple of others, it's hard to see how there could be other big developments on the docket.
