Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko joined a chorus of popular crypto industry officials who have taken issue with U. S. President Donald Trump’s request to create a national bitcoin supply that would be composed of cryptocurrency and four leading currencies. &nbsp,

In an X article on Thursday, Yakovenko said that in his “order of choice” there would be” no reserve”.

” If you want autonomy to refuse you’d put the government in charge of it”, Yakovenko said in the post. &nbsp,

The article comes after President Trump announced Sunday that the U. S. Treasury’s bitcoin supply may carry Bitcoin, Ether, XRP‌, Solana and Cardano. The Treasury received approval to create the modern commodity stash in January, but the content of the supply had remained vague until earlier this week. &nbsp,

The presence of altcoins has sparked a furious conversation with&nbsp, the industry’s most notable figures saying that the reserve does rely completely on Bitcoin or opposing it immediately. &nbsp,

The market largely supported Trump, who became a powerful crypto recommend during the 2024 plan.

In his blog, Yakovenko took less of a radical position on the blockchain supply problem than some of his contemporaries, suggesting two options to a U. S. digital assets hoard. &nbsp,

In one proposal, he suggested that the states form their own reserves” as a hedge” against the U. S. central bank “making a mistake”.

But he noted, if U. S. officials go ahead with their plans to create a federal crypto reserve, they should use “objectively measurable requirements” to determine which tokens merit inclusion in the stockpile. &nbsp,

” I don’t care what]the requirements] are, they can even be constructed such that only bitcoin satisfies them right now”, Yakovenko wrote. ” They just must be objectively measurable and rationally justified”.

If a strategic reserve&nbsp, included such requirements, Solana would be capable of meeting them, Yakovenko said in the post. &nbsp,

Yakovenko also responded Thursday to an X post from crypto journalistLaura Shin, clarifying that he had not advocated for the token’s inclusion in the U. S. ‘ crypto reserve. &nbsp,

Solana was recently trading at$ 143.40, roughly flat in the past 24 hours, CoinGecko data shows. Other cryptos in the reserve were mixed with XRP recently rising but Cardano down.
