TechFlow reports that in response to the Trump administration's proposal to include BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA, and SOL into the national strategic reserve, David Chiu, Executive Director and Head of Regulatory Affairs at OSL, stated that BTC as "digital gold" and ETH as smart contract infrastructure already possess a logical foundation and market consensus for inclusion in national strategic reserves. Assets such as XRP and SOL demonstrate more diverse market characteristics, potentially resembling a hybrid classification closer to technology stocks, commodities, or corporate bonds. This not only broadens the applicability of crypto assets within national-level reserves but also opens up new strategic possibilities.
Chiu emphasized that the criteria for selecting digital assets for national strategic reserves must be stricter and more cautious. For instance, before listing any token, OSL conducts rigorous evaluations including technical audits, liquidity stress testing, and compliance verification across jurisdictions. As the global regulatory landscape continues to evolve, proactive planning in secure custody, liquidity management, and policy alignment will become critical issues requiring joint consideration by both market participants and policymakers.
