President Donald Trump signed an executive order for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund in the US.


Bitcoin could be added to the fund, according to Bitwise senior investment strategist Juan Leon.


This comes after President Trump signed an order to issue a digital asset stockpile.


President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday that details plans for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund for the development of the US economy, drawing the attention of crypto experts who believe that the fund could include Bitcoin.


Donald Trump signs executive order for sovereign wealth fund, Bitcoin reclaims $100,000


President Trump has ordered the creation of a first-ever US sovereign wealth fund to serve as a tool for economic development.


The Treasury and Commerce departments have been charged with the responsibility of creating the fund.


While the signed order doesn't state many details, it instructs both departments to submit a plan for the fund within 90 days. This includes investment strategies, funding mechanisms, fund structure and a governance model.


Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the fund will be established within the next 12 months.


"We're going to stand this thing up within the next 12 months. We're going to monetize the asset side of the US balance sheet for the American people," said Bessent during a media panel, according to CNBC.


The president first mentioned the idea of a sovereign wealth fund during his campaign last year, stating that it could fund national projects.


This came after President Trump signed an executive order to create a US digital asset stockpile last month.


The new sovereign wealth fund order has stirred optimism among crypto community members, who have been speculating about the addition of Bitcoin to the fund.


Bitwise senior investment strategist Juan Leon highlighted that the inclusion of Bitcoin in the fund is a big possibility. He stated that the government could include BTC in the strategic wealth fund while accumulating more Bitcoin for a strategic reserve.


Bitcoin has reclaimed the $100,000 level following President Trump's signing of the sovereign wealth fund order.


Cryptocurrency metrics FAQs


The developer or creator of each cryptocurrency decides on the total number of tokens that can be minted or issued. Only a certain number of these assets can be minted by mining, staking or other mechanisms. This is defined by the algorithm of the underlying blockchain technology. On the other hand, circulating supply can also be decreased via actions such as burning tokens, or mistakenly sending assets to addresses of other incompatible blockchains.


Market capitalization is the result of multiplying the circulating supply of a certain asset by the asset’s current market value.


Trading volume refers to the total number of tokens for a specific asset that has been transacted or exchanged between buyers and sellers within set trading hours, for example, 24 hours. It is used to gauge market sentiment, this metric combines all volumes on centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges. Increasing trading volume often denotes the demand for a certain asset as more people are buying and selling the cryptocurrency.


Funding rates are a concept designed to encourage traders to take positions and ensure perpetual contract prices match spot markets. It defines a mechanism by exchanges to ensure that future prices and index prices periodic payments regularly converge. When the funding rate is positive, the price of the perpetual contract is higher than the mark price. This means traders who are bullish and have opened long positions pay traders who are in short positions. On the other hand, a negative funding rate means perpetual prices are below the mark price, and hence traders with short positions pay traders who have opened long positions.
