    MARKET VIBES

  
  

    Bullish BTC Reserves
  
   
     
   
     
    
 

**📸 Daily Market Snapshot: ***Rumors are growing that Trump plans to create a *[*strategic reserve of bitcoin*](https://x.com/Dennis_Porter_/status/1813949707368149329)* in the U.S., and crypto markets are responding bullishly, with BTC, ETH, and SOL decidedly green on the day. It's an open question whether this plan will come to fruition, or how it would come to pass. Yet if it does happen, it'd certainly be the biggest pro-crypto move to date on the international stage, and likely a huge catalyst for crypto markets. Traders seem to be prepping now just in case.*

In today's guest post, Coinbase protocol specialist Viktor Bunin reacts to Vitalik Buterin's latest, [much-talked-about blog](https://www.bankless.com/vitalik-pro-crypto-blog) cautioning full support of political candidates over their views on crypto policy.** Bunin doesn't agree with him.**
