FYI: US BASED CRYPTOS: Something to keep in mind when trying to determine what may/may not be in the US crypto reserves moving foreword and opportunity to grab some others based on their current prices having not yet being mentioned by Trump to be in the basket:
Here's a quick summary of whether these cryptocurrencies can be considered "made in the US" based on their founders and primary origins:
✔️- ALGO (Algorand): Yes—founded by Silvio Micali, based at MIT, with roots in Boston, despite the Algorand Foundation being in Singapore.
❌- XDC (XDC Network): No—founded by XinFin, headquartered in Singapore, with international roots (e.g., India).
❌- IOTA: No—founded by a European team, with the IOTA Foundation based in Berlin, Germany.
✔️- HBAR (Hedera): Yes—founded by Leemon Baird and Mance Harmon in Texas, headquartered in Dallas.
❌- FLR (Flare): No—created by Flare Networks, founded by Hugo Philion and others, based in London, UK.
✔️- DOGE (Dogecoin): Yes—created by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer in the US (Portland and Australia collaborated, but Markus drove development from the US).
✔️- XLM (Stellar): Yes—founded by Jed McCaleb and Joyce Kim in the US, with the Stellar Development Foundation based in San Francisco.
✔️- SOL (Solana): Yes—created by Anatoly Yakovenko in the US, with Solana Labs based in San Francisco.
❌- ADA (Cardano): No—developed by IOHK, co-founded by Charles Hoskinson (US-based) and Jeremy Wood, but IOHK is headquartered in Hong Kong, and the project has global roots.
❌- ETH (Ethereum): No—created by Vitalik Buterin (Canadian-Russian) and others like Gavin Wood (UK); the Ethereum Foundation is based in Switzerland.
❌- BTC (Bitcoin): Unclear—created by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, whose identity and location remain unknown. No definitive US origin.
This is a simplified take—crypto projects often have global teams, but I focused on the founding individuals and initial hubs. - GROK
