o immediate impact on the cryptocurrency market has been reported.

President Trump has expressed support for the creation of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund based on international examples. Details of the proposal are under review, but White House concerns are preventing it from being finalized.

President Trump has directed the U.S. Treasury and Commerce departments to develop a plan to create a sovereign wealth fund, drawing inspiration from global models such as Norway and Saudi Arabia. According to Kush Desai, White House spokesman, in accordance with President Trump’s executive order, the Treasury and Commerce departments have developed plans to create a sovereign wealth fund, but final decisions have not yet been made.

The proposal, on which Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked together, is still under consideration. It is reported that the White House does not approve of some of its elements.

Market analysts foresee possible financial changes, although specific data on asset utilization is not yet available. While global sovereign funds often use surpluses to invest, the U.S. approach remains uncertain. Assumptions include diversified categories such as real estate and possibly digital assets. The lack of formal funding strategies adds to the uncertainty.

Observers note that no regulatory body has formally considered the potential market implications of the proposal. Cryptocurrency market participants remain vigilant, but so far remain unaffected, as evidenced by stable price dynamics. Although speculation about the possible inclusion of digital assets persists, only the final version of the plan can clarify the possible consequences.

As of May 8, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) has a market value of $1.97 trillion and a price target of $99,168.22. Trading volume in the last 24 hours reached $50.11 billion, reflecting a 53.01% shift. CoinMarketCap data shows a 2.57% increase in price in 24 hours, demonstrating the dynamic nature of cryptocurrency markets.

Did you know? The U.S. is considering creating a sovereign wealth fund, while countries such as Norway have successfully used such funds to stabilize and grow their economies, with funds totaling $1.8 trillion.

Coincu’s study points out the potential economic consequences depending on the structure of the fund. If transferred to talented managers, the U.S. sovereign wealth fund could play a critical role in future economic sustainability. The debate over the possible use and impact of the fund continues, underscoring its significant potential to impact both traditional and digital assets.
