Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), and Ripple (XRP) are already part of President Donald Trump’s proposed US crypto reserve. As the market watches for Congress’ decision, speculation is growing about which other altcoins could be added. Based on industry signals and key meetings, four strong contenders are Chainlink (LINK), Litecoin (LTC), Polkadot (DOT), and Hedera (HBAR).
Litecoin (LTC)
Litecoin is a strong candidate due to its similarities to Bitcoin and its regulatory clarity. Bloomberg analysts suggest it could be the second altcoin in the US to receive an ETF, as the SEC has never classified it as a security. This makes it a safer choice for a government-backed reserve.
Despite a recent 2% price drop, Litecoin remains a solid investment, trading at $102. Its network activity is strong, with a tripled hash rate in the past year. This signals miner confidence and potential long-term price growth.

Polkadot (DOT)
Polkadot has also emerged as a potential addition, with 21Shares filing for a spot DOT ETF and Nasdaq submitting a 19b-4 filing for approval. If its founder, Gavin Wood, attends the White House summit, the likelihood of DOT joining the reserve could increase.
Currently, DOT is trading in a demand zone, with its RSI at 41. A price rally to $5.20 is possible if buying pressure strengthens.
Chainlink (LINK)
Chainlink has gained attention after its founder, Sergey Nazarov, was confirmed as an attendee at the upcoming White House crypto summit. His recent meetings with Congressman Tom Emmer and Bo Hines, the Executive Director of the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets, suggest LINK could be on the list.
Currently trading at $14.94, Chainlink has shown a 6% price gain in 24 hours. Its buying pressure is rising, and if it breaks the $22 resistance level, it could trigger a rally toward the 178.6% Fibonacci level.
Hedera (HBAR)
Hedera’s chances of being included in the reserve have risen after Grayscale filed for a spot HBAR ETF. Approval could boost its regulatory standing, making it an attractive choice for the US government.
HBAR has performed well despite market volatility, gaining 26% in the last seven days. It currently trades at $0.25, with indicators suggesting it could soon break past the $0.26 resistance level.
These four altcoins have strong fundamentals and regulatory clarity, making them likely candidates for Trump’s crypto strategic list. If added, they could see increased adoption and price growth.
