Current law gives his administration several ways to increase federal crypto holdings, though no public authority gives Treasury a funded program for multibillion-dollar open-market purchases.For Bitcoin, Trump’s 2025 executive order already directs Treasury and Commerce to develop budget-neutral acquisition strategies. For non-Bitcoin assets, the same order limits additional acquisitions to forfeiture and civil-money-penalty channels unless further executive or legislative action occurs.A second executive order could remove that restriction for assets such as Ethereum, XRP, and Solana.

Ethereum surged 18% intraday as spot trading volume jumped sharply across major global exchanges, putting ETH back at the center of the market’s risk-on move. Market data showed ETH trading near the $2,500 level during the rally, with spot volume reportedly rising about 400% compared with the prior 24-hour average. That is a major move, but it needs a careful read.

The Graph says onchain AI agents need identity, structured data and payments to act autonomously. Artificial intelligence and blockchain have spent years developing largely along parallel tracks.

The next stage is bringing those capabilities together. The result could be an internet populated not only by human users, but also by autonomous AI agents capable of discovering information, making decisions, interacting with protocols and paying for services on their own. That future requires more than…
