<p>The cryptocurrency community was hit with a stunning twist, when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44208906/trump-declares-us-the-bitcoin-superpower-at-historic-white-house-crypto-summit-with-top-industry-executives">an executive order</a> signed by President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> dashed the hopes of Ripple and its supporters.</p>
<p>After pouring millions into political contributions to push for<strong> XRP </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>)'s inclusion in a U.S. sovereign crypto reserve, the company and its co-founders <a href="https://protos.com/ripple-founders-lobbied-for-xrp-reserve-got-sell-only-stockpile-instead/">watched</a> their efforts unravel.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened: </strong>Over the weekend, <strong>David Sacks</strong>, dubbed the "Crypto Czar," shared the signed document on X, revealing that XRP would not be part of any strategic reserve as Trump had once vowed.</p>
<p>Back on March 2, Trump had fueled excitement by pledging to establish a crypto strategic teserve featuring XRP, sparking a 36% price surge for the token within an hour.</p>
<p>Yet, the reality unveiled in the executive order was starkly different. </p>
<p>Far from elevating XRP to a prized reserve asset, Trump designated it a "Stockpile Asset," meaning the government can only hold or sell it—no purchases allowed. </p>
<p>The document explicitly states, "the United States Government shall not acquire additional Stockpile Assets other than in connection with criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings or in satisfaction of any civil money penalty imposed by any agency without further executive or legislative action."</p>
<p>This sell-only stockpile isn't exclusive to XRP. </p>
<p>Other popular cryptocurrencies like <strong>Solana </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), <strong>Cardano </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), and <strong>Ethereum </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)—also name-dropped by Trump in his earlier promise—landed in the same boat. </p>
<p><strong>Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44217932/crypto-exchange-kraken-sets-sights-on-2025-initial-public-offering">Crypto Exchange Kraken Sets Sights On 2025 Initial Public Offering</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Why It Matters: Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) emerged as the golden child, the only digital asset the U.S. government is permitted to actively acquire. Trump's order greenlit a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, kickstarting it with roughly 200,000 BTC already in federal hands from seizures, though much of that is earmarked for distribution to <strong>Bitfinex</strong>.</p>
<p>The Treasury and Commerce departments, led by Secretaries <strong>Scott Bessent</strong> and <strong>Howard Lutnick</strong>, were tasked with finding budget-friendly ways to bolster Bitcoin holdings.</p>
<p>The fallout for XRP has been swift. </p>
<p>After its March rally, the token has clung to just 10% of those gains, reflecting the disappointment rippling through its fervent "XRP Army." </p>
<p>Social media buzzed with frustration, with one X user, <strong>Fish Bernoulli</strong>, summing it up on March 7: "Created a Bitcoin-only strategic reserve, tasked the treasury to buy more Bitcoin, put existing shitcoins in a stockpile &amp; not buy more."</p>
<p>Adding a layer of confusion, Treasury Secretary Bessent appeared on CNBC the morning of March 10, hinting at a broader vision. "We're starting with Bitcoin, but it's an overall crypto reserve," he said, despite the order's clear Bitcoin-only mandate. </p>
<p>His comments raised eyebrows, given his role in shaping the acquisition strategy alongside Lutnick, leaving some to wonder if future tweaks might still be in play.</p>

<p>President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> has signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/immediate-expansion-of-american-timber-production/">executive order</a> that significantly expands logging on federal lands, removing environmental protections and fast-tracking timber sales. The order directs agencies to ramp up tree cutting across 280 million acres of national forests, bypassing key safeguards under the Endangered Species Act and rolling back regulations that previously limited deforestation. Environmentalists and conservation groups have strongly condemned the move, calling it an unprecedented attack on public lands.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prioritizing Industry Over Conservation</h2>
<p>Trump's order claims that "heavy-handed federal policies" have made the U.S. dependent on foreign timber and that increased logging is necessary for national and economic security. The directive eliminates regulatory hurdles to allow more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/timber-reits">timber production</a> and instructs agencies to streamline permitting for logging projects. It also calls for emergency powers to override environmental protections that prevent the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43137590/microsoft-invests-in-carbon-credits-to-restore-amazon-rainforest-faces-challenges-from-data-center-growth-trumps-fossil-fuel-focus">destruction</a> of old-growth forests, home to countless species.</p>

</ul>
<p>Critics claim that corporate logging interests are the only reason behind this action. The Sierra Club denounced the decision, <a href="https://www.sierraclub.org/press-releases/2025/03/climate-forests-campaign-responds-anti-forests-executive-order">saying</a>, "This executive order will decimate our federal forests. It will use tax dollars to line the pockets of corporate logging interests, undermine environmental laws, and take public forests out of public hands."</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Environmental Devastation and Increased Wildfire Risks</h2>
<p>Trump has framed the order as a measure to reduce wildfire risks, but many scientists warn that clear-cutting large sections of forests will do the opposite. <strong>Chad Hanson</strong>, a wildfire scientist at the John Muir Project, criticized the order to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/03/trump-national-forest-executive-order">The Guardian</a> as "the most blatant attempt in American history by a president to hand over federal public lands to the logging industry." He added, "Trump falsely claims that more logging will curb wildfires and protect communities, while the overwhelming weight of evidence shows exactly the opposite."</p>
<p><strong>Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/startengine-own"><strong>The $1.3 Billion Startup Investment Boom: How This Company's Explosive Growth Is Opening Doors For Everyday Investors With A New $500 Minimum</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>Hanson explained that logging removes fire-resistant trees and alters the forest microclimate, making conditions hotter, drier, and more prone to fast-moving wildfires. According to him, this was evident in recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43076438/spare-no-expense-says-biden-but-whos-really-footing-the-bill-as-the-los-angeles-wildfire-damage-surpasses-250-billion">Los Angeles wildfires</a>, where extensive logging had actually made fires more severe.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Endangered Species and Clean Water at Risk</h2>
<p>Trump's order directs federal agencies to work around the Endangered Species Act, allowing logging to proceed even in areas where it threatens rare and vulnerable wildlife. Conservationists warn that this move could push species like grizzly bears, spotted owls, and wild salmon closer to extinction. The Center for Biological Diversity warned in a <a href="https://biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-releases/trumps-logging-order-unleashes-chainsaws-on-americas-national-forests-2025-03-03/">statement</a> that the order "will unleash the chainsaws and bulldozers on our federal forests. Clear-cutting these beautiful places will increase fire risk, drive species to extinction, pollute our rivers and streams, and destroy world-class recreation sites."</p>
<p>In addition to harming wildlife, the destruction of forests will affect water supplies for millions of Americans. Mature forests filter and store clean water, and their removal could result in widespread pollution and depletion of vital resources.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Industry Takeover of Public Lands</h2>
<p>Trump's pro-industry stance is further evident in his appointment of <strong>Tom Schultz</strong>, a former executive at lumber producer <strong>Idaho Forest Group</strong> as the new chief of the U.S. Forest Service. Schultz will now oversee 154 national forests and 193 million acres of land, roughly the size of Texas. His appointment follows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44066466/when-the-bill-comes-it-will-be-monumental-experts-warn-trumps-mass-federal-firings-could-leave-a-tremendous-financial-burden">mass layoffs</a> at the Forest Service, including 2,000 workers, many of whom were responsible for wildfire prevention and environmental oversight.</p>
<p>The decision to install a logging executive at the helm of the nation's forests has sparked outrage. <strong>Anna Medema</strong> from the Sierra Club criticized the move, <a href="https://www.sierraclub.org/press-releases/2025/02/sierra-club-statement-nomination-tom-schultz-run-us-forest-service">saying</a>, "Naming a corporate lobbyist to run the agency tasked with overseeing the last old growth left in the U.S. makes it clear that the Trump administration's goal isn't to preserve our national forests, but to sell them off to billionaires and corporate polluters."</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Public Backlash and the Fight to Save Forests</h2>
<p>Environmental groups, scientists, and conservationists are vowing to fight back, warning that this decision will have devastating consequences for wildlife, climate, and future generations. As <strong>Randi Spivak</strong> of the Center for Biological Diversity put it: "This is a particularly horrific move by Trump to loot our public lands by handing the keys to big business."</p>

Genmab Says Johnson & Johnson Decision Regarding HexaBody-CD38 Does Not Impact 2025 Financial Guidance

<p>The year began on a strong note, with the market climbing over 3% in January amid optimism fueled by Trump's presidency and his market-focused policies. In February, that bullish sentiment persisted until tariffs became the central issue.</p>
<p>Initially, Trump set a deadline of February 1 for imposing 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, though he later reached an alternative agreement focused on curbing the fentanyl crisis. The market largely brushed off these developments and continued its upward trend. However, the mood shifted on February 13 when Trump and Commerce Secretary Lutnick announced a broader set of reciprocal tariffs.</p>
<p>The market maintained its momentum for a short period, reaching an all-time high of 6,144 on February 19. But on February 21, a disappointing University of Michigan consumer confidence report sparked fears of inflation and stagflation, leading to a market collapse and a shift toward a bearish sentiment. Despite this, the S&amp;P 500 has only dipped by 0.44%, a much smaller decline than some media outlets have suggested.</p>
<p>This modest drop appears bullish to me. Tariffs represent a significant policy obstacle, and once their impact is absorbed, the market is likely to rebound. Furthermore, anticipated tax cuts later in the year could serve as a strong catalyst for further gains.</p>
<p>In parallel, the Trump administration has succeeded in reducing the 10-year yield from 4.80% in January to 4.20% currently. Although concerns about economic growth remain, this lower yield is expected to provide additional support, working in tandem with tax cuts to boost the market.</p>
<p>Amid the prevailing fear, I see excellent buying opportunities. The reaction to the tariffs seems exaggerated, and I remain very bullish, forecasting that the S&amp;P 500 will reach 7,000 by year's end.</p>
