If there’s one rule Donald Trump has in business and in life, it’s doing whatever he can to enrich himself and his family first. If others get rich from it too, then that’s cool. But it’s not necessary.
So it stands to reason that following what Trump and the White House invest in should be a good investing strategy for us, too. And today we have it. The 7 altcoins the WH will be pumping because they own bags too.
1) CRO
CRO has pumped 110% in the last 7 days. Why Crypto.com, let me explain. Aug 26 was a historic day for this exchange. Trump Media and Technology Group, the owner of the US President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform, announced a business combination with this crypto exchange.
🚨 Breaking News:
Today is a historic day for $CRO
Trump Media Group CRO Strategy has announced $6.4B in funds to build America’s Cronos Treasury.
At closing, Trump Media Group CRO Strategy is expected to be the world’s largest holder of CRO.

This Tuesday, Trump Media, Crypto.com, and Yorkville Acquisition entered into a definitive agreement to jointly establish the Trump Media Group CRO Strategy. The entity focuses on the acquisition of CRO to build a treasury worth at least $6.2 billion. Why did Trump Media choose Cronos, the native currency of the Cronos blockchain developed by Crypto.com?
Cronos’ developer, Crypto.com, has become one of the Trump administration’s leading crypto partners, attending the first White House Crypto Summit hosted by President Trump in early March as one of only 20 invited participants.

Trump Technology Group subsequently signed a non-binding agreement with Crypto.com to launch a series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US, with a focus on digital assets and securities “Made in America”. As the Trump government’s Crypto associations continue, we see great upside in CRO.
2) LINK
The US government has tapped Chainlink. Chainlink was selected to provide data feeds from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and will publish additional data feeds in response to consumer demand or at the behest of the US government. Chainlink gathered modest gains on this announcement, but at Altcoin Buzz, we are huge fans of Chainlink and its infrastructure capabilities. It is one of the very few crypto projects that has a use case.
We’re excited to announce that Chainlink and the United States Department of Commerce (@CommerceGov) have worked together to bring U.S. government macroeconomic data onchain.https://t.co/qHIw8DyEgX
These new Chainlink Data Feeds securely deliver critical information around key…

Publishing government data onchain is part of the Trump administration’s plan to make government spending more transparent in a bid to improve accountability and make the US a “world capital” of crypto. Now that Chainlink is at the center of this big initiative, we expect huge gains.
3) ETH
First, before getting into the first alt, which is Ethereum, a word about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the largest WH holding, and that’s no accident. So please, if you don’t have any Bitcoin in your portfolio, go get some. Now Ethereum. By far the biggest WH alt holding is ETH.
Trump’s portfolio is 93% $ETH.
The man isn’t stupid he knows what’s coming.

We see Eric Trump all over X promoting buying ETH. That’s no accident. He is reminding you they have it, want it to grow, and you should buy some too. Unlike a lot of the shady shillers in our industry, we see the World Liberty wallet and can see if they are using the public for exit liquidity.
Now for the $TRUMP memecoin token, they did. That’s pretty clear. But for ETH and the others on this list, they are NOT. They are holding onto these coins. And that makes them lower risk for you to hold than most of the alt market right now. It’s almost impossible to go on Crypto X and not find something positive that Trump, his kids, or others in the White House are saying about Ethereum.
4) XRP
Second on our list is XRP. Now we know this one is controversial. Mostly because Trump did mention back in March a potential crypto reserve and mentioned XRP, but has since done nothing about it. Also, that announcement made a big splash, yet the main WLFI wallet, as you see here, has no XRP in it. But it’s still looking bullish for XRP from Washington. The lawsuit is FINALLY finished. In the short term, we will see if it’s been holding back the price. But in the long term, it’s a clear signal.
Trump floated the idea of a U.S. Crypto Reserve… and guess which asset he mentioned first? $XRP.
Go ahead, dump your bags.

SWIFT confirmed it’s testing XRP’s payment rails for its network. And that’s positive, yes. It’s also something the XRP Army has been saying for a few years now as something that has been going on, which is clearly false. Testing is just going on now. And it’s not with XRP alone. Another big cap we like, Hedera Hashgraph, is involved in the test as well. XRP and HBAR have a partnership together with SWIFT, but we don’t know if that means SWIFT is testing both the XRP Ledger and the Hashgraph mainnet as collaborators or competitors.
🚨 SWIFT is now testing XRP for blockchain-based cross-border payments.
The cartel that ruled global finance for 50 years is bending the knee to Ripple’s rails.
The reset isn’t coming.

If you think the Trump WH will buy more crypto, then it is a good bet to think they will buy some XRP. It’s a less good bet than thinking they will buy Ethereum, which they already own. But odds are still in XRP’s favor now.
5) SOL
Solana was also mentioned in this same crypto reserve announcement. And we know Trump has used Solana as that’s where the $TRUMP and $MELANIA memecoins had their launch, money raise, and eventual rug. So we know Trump has used Solana and likes the results he’s gotten.
Every other day, a new celebrity backed meme coin pops up.
First @realDonaldTrump $trump , then his wife @OfficeofMelania $Melania , now @kanyewest $YZY

Other than the $TRUMP token needing to buy it to hold liquidity for trades, we don’t see any long-term positions in Solana. But Trump does own Solana for his memecoin. Everyone on the memecoin team allegedly bought $SOL with memecoin profits. And Trump’s support for the Solana Network continues with the recent launch of the USD1 stablecoin on Solana. That launch looks to be successful.
This is huge.
Trump Family backed #USD1 has arrived on Solana. $WLFI eco system has bridged over.

Mass adoption is happening fast.

So our take on it is it’s a good bet the Trump team will buy more, even if not held in the official WLFI Wallet. Trump likes Solana and has made money there. That support will continue
6) ADA
And last for today, we have Cardano. I know you’ve seen this out there already. Trust me, we have too. A zillion times. But there is something to be said for working directly on crypto policies. Founder Charles Hoskinson gets to plead his case for Cardano directly to the White House audience himself. That’s powerful.

All 4 of these tokens are deeply ingrained in conversations the WH is having about crypto. That includes questions like:
- Is the US Government going to buy more crypto or just hold what is in the current stockpile?
- Will the USG buy Bitcoin?
- Which cryptos are the Trumps and other WH officials looking to buy and support?
Now, if I had to rank these in order, I would say the biggest beneficiary and the one the WH is buying the most is Ethereum. I don’t think there is any question about it.
3/ US 🇺🇸 became the first major power to openly declare Bitcoin part of its financial arsenal. Under President Trump, a strategic Bitcoin reserve was created. The US already holds $20B.
The reserve also includes Ethereum, XRP, Solana & Cardano, a clear multi-chain strategy. But… pic.twitter.com/99tXY6RCqw

And secondly, I’d put Solana. Then, in a tie behind Solana, I’d put XRP and Cardano. Both could see some buying action, especially based on face time with the WH staff and other advancements. But it is nowhere near the high probability of Trump and his Policy Team buying Ethereum and Solana.
