• On Sunday, Donald Trump announced a list of cryptocurrencies, including Cardano and Ethereum, that could be included in the U.S. crypto stockpile.
  • Analysts now predict that other assets, such as Dogecoin, Avalanche, Polkadot, and Litecoin, could be next in line for inclusion in the reserve.

In a recent update, Crypto News Flash reported that President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce plans for an official U.S. Crypto Reserve, marking a significant shift in the nation’s approach to digital asset adoption. The initiative presents a strategic vision to integrate major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA) into a national reserve framework, potentially reshaping the role of digital assets in the U.S. financial system.

One of the most surprising inclusions in the proposed reserve is Ripple (XRP), a cryptocurrency that has been embroiled in a lengthy regulatory battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Its addition suggests a shift in the government’s stance on assets previously scrutinized by regulators.

Could These Altcoins Be Next in Line?

A recent post from CryptoRank speculates that several altcoins with pending ETF approvals could soon be added to Trump’s Crypto Reserve. Leading the charge is Litecoin (LTC), a well-established altcoin designed to serve as a faster and more efficient alternative to Bitcoin. Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas estimate a remarkable 90% chance of approval for a Litecoin ETF this year, with investment firms CoinShares and Canary Capital already filing the necessary paperwork.

Another strong contender for inclusion in the U.S. Crypto Reserve is Polkadot (DOT), known for its innovative approach to blockchain interoperability. This technology is crucial for enabling seamless communication between different blockchain networks, enhancing the overall efficiency of decentralized ecosystems. 

As we reported , Nasdaq has already submitted a Form 19b-4 to the SEC to list Grayscale’s spot Polkadot ETF, while 21Shares has filed an S-1 registration for a similar product. However, despite growing institutional interest, DOT’s price has dropped 16.36% in the last 24 hours, trading at $4.17. Similarly, Litecoin (LTC) has also faced a downturn, declining 13.69% in the same period to $101.01, reflecting broader market volatility.

Once dismissed as a niche joke in the cryptocurrency space, Dogecoin (DOGE) has evolved into a cultural phenomenon with a dedicated community and growing mainstream acceptance. As the largest meme coin by market capitalization at $28 billion, DOGE continues to defy expectations. Notably, the SEC recently accepted Grayscale’s 19b-4 filing for a Dogecoin ETF, signaling that even once-lighthearted digital assets are now being taken seriously in the financial space.

Other notable contenders include Hedera (HBAR) and Chainlink (LINK). Today,  Grayscale filed for a Hedera ETF. Despite the news, HBAR has dropped 9.52% in the past 24 hours, reflecting broader market volatility.

Meanwhile, Chainlink (LINK), a leading decentralized oracle provider, has yet to receive an ETF filing but remains a strong candidate for future inclusion.

Rounding out the discussion are Avalanche (AVAX) and Aptos (APT), two altcoins that are rapidly gaining traction. Avalanche, currently holding a market cap of approximately $8.14 billion, is ranked #16. Its fast transaction speeds and scalability make it an appealing choice for developers and investors alike.

On the other hand, Aptos is establishing itself as a next-generation blockchain with a market capitalization of $3.13 billion. If more ETFs get approved, assets like LTC, DOT, DOGE, and LINK could see massive price surges fueled by mainstream adoption.
