US-Made Altcoins on the Rise Amid Trump’s Silence on Crypto

January 23, 2025 BACK TO NEWS

XRP, Solana, and other US-made coins lead growth, despite Trump’s focus shift, signaling a bright future for digital assets - IcoHolder.

Former President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan has left a notable absence in the cryptocurrency world, with his recent speech failing to mention Bitcoin or the growing blockchain space. Despite this, a shift is occurring as new altcoins, particularly those hailing from the United States, are attracting significant attention. As analysts point out, these “Made in USA” coins are poised to take the lead in the ever-evolving digital economy.

XRP Leads the Pack Amid SEC Developments

Topping the list of US-made altcoins is XRP, which continues to dominate in market cap despite the challenges it has faced. Recently, news that the SEC lawsuit might be coming to a close has provided a glimmer of hope for the cryptocurrency. The potential dismissal of the case under the new SEC chair is seen as a favorable outcome for XRP's future. Furthermore, the introduction of a new stablecoin, RLUSD, could position XRP to make a strong entry into the European market. In just 48 hours, whales purchased over 100 million XRP, signaling a growing interest in the token.

Solana's Surge and Meme Coin Mania

Coming in second is Solana, another standout in the US-made coin category. The blockchain has witnessed massive growth, partly fueled by the launch of Trump and Melania meme coins, which drove Solana to a new all-time high. Key platforms within the Solana ecosystem, including Radium, Jupiter, and Moonshot, also reported substantial performance increases. However, despite its growth, Trump’s DeFi platform has yet to invest in Solana.

Cardano's Resurgence and Trump’s Potential Involvement

Cardano’s ADA is also making waves, benefiting from renewed attention and a growing price surge. Charles Hoskinson, the CEO of Cardano, is expected to play an advisory role in Trump’s crypto board, which has increased expectations for Cardano’s future role in a potential US-based coin reserve. With this endorsement, Cardano looks set to secure a prominent position among American-made coins.

Chainlink’s Growing Influence

Chainlink has solidified its place in the crypto ecosystem, particularly after securing a recent $4.7 million investment, bringing the total investment from Trump’s World Liberty Financial to $6.6 million. As a leader in the oracle sector, Chainlink’s influence continues to grow, making it a strong contender for the US-made coin reserve.

Other Rising Coins: Ondo Finance and Sui

Other noteworthy altcoins are also rising in prominence. Ondo Finance, which focuses on the Real World Asset (RWA) sector, has garnered attention due to its massive potential for growth in the coming years. Trump’s World Liberty Financial has invested $250,000 into the altcoin, signaling its confidence in Ondo’s future. Meanwhile, Sui, a rapidly emerging coin, has even caught the attention of Eric Trump, who reportedly holds Sui tokens.

Despite President Trump’s lack of direct focus on cryptocurrency, the landscape for US-based coins is undeniably evolving. With strong performances from XRP, Solana, Cardano, and others, the future of “Made in USA” altcoins looks promising. The continued growth and influence of these coins suggest that the US could become a central hub in the crypto world in the years to come.
