Trump’s latest crypto moves have sent the market on a rollercoaster.

First, he posted on Truth Social that a U.S. crypto reserve would include XRP, Solana, and Cardano. A couple hours later, he had to clarify that Bitcoin and Ethereum would also be included. The market jumped 12%—only to crash the next day.

Meanwhile, the White House crypto summit is happening Friday, and not everyone is happy with the guest list. Some say it’s a step toward real regulation, while others argue that without DeFi voices, it’s just a meeting of centralized players.

So what does it all mean? David Nage, VC at Arca, joins Unchained to talk about:

  • 4:55 Why David is unfazed by crypto’s swings around Trump’s reserve posts
  • 9:03 David’s take on Cardano and XRP being named for the crypto reserve list
  • 18:11 Why he thinks Bitcoin is a strong candidate for a national reserve asset
  • 22:52 Why David isn’t impressed with the guest list at the White House Crypto Summit
  • 26:26 Why the markets have been struggling—and what could finally turn things around
  • 28:52 News Recap

Will real crypto policy changes emerge from this? Or is this just another distraction in a year full of big promises?
