A historic step was taken in the United States: New Hampshire became the first state to legislate the “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” (SBR) model, adopting the first law that allows the use of digital assets at the state treasury level. The state enacted the bill, HB 302, with the governor's signature. Under the new law, state treasuries will be able to purchase Bitcoin and certain high-level digital assets and add them to their reserves. The law was inspired by the “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” model law developed by the Satoshi Action Fund. Satoshi Action CEO and co-founder Dennis Porter said, “Satoshi Action wrote the model, New Hampshire signed it into law. Now every state treasurer can follow this roadmap. This is not just a law; it is the spark of a movement.” Related News: Will Berkshire Hathaway Move Closer to Bitcoin Following Warren Buffett's Resignation?

US Regulatory Safekeeping Requirement: Assets will be held in multi-signature state-controlled wallets, through a qualified custodian, or in a US-regulated exchange-traded product. The Law Will Come Into Force Within 60 Days: The state treasury will begin activating the new reserve structure within two months. *This is not investment advice.

As May 2025 unfolds, Ethereum (ETH) maintains its position as a leading force in the digital asset space. However, it’s not the only asset attracting investor attention. XRP , Solana (SOL) , Bitcoin (BTC) , and Arbitrum (ARB) are showing solid setups with bullish fundamentals. Together, these assets are defining the tone of the market—and the opportunity set for investors aiming to position for the next leg up.

Ethereum and XRP Lead with Institutional Momentum Ethereum (ETH) is trading around $1,830 , maintaining strength thanks to ongoing accumulation from major wallets and deepening interest in Ethereum-based applications. XRP is holding near $2.15 , with institutional demand climbing on the back of futures ETF rollouts. ProShares’ launch and the upcoming CME futures addition are helping XRP maintain its structure. Bitcoin and Solana Build Their Cases for 2025 Bitcoin (BTC) remains the macro anchor, currently holding above $95,000 . With forecasts suggesting a move toward $130,000 , BTC is being viewed by analysts as a reliable store of value—especially in an ETF-driven cycle. Solana (SOL) is trading between $145 and $150 , supported by inflows from its Canadian ETF listing and expanding developer interest. If SOL clears $180 , a renewed rally toward $221 may follow, solidifying its status as a high-performance Layer-1 chain. Arbitrum Consolidates as a Top Layer 2 Arbitrum (ARB) is currently trading around $0.35 , consolidating after recent volatility. Despite a pullback, its infrastructure strength and relevance in the Ethereum Layer 2 space keep it on investor watchlists.

Standard Chartered has published an analysis of Binance’s native coin BNB, predicting that the coin’s price could reach $2,775 by the end of 2028. This forecast indicates an increase of over 360% from current levels. “BNB has been almost exactly in line with an unweighted basket of Bitcoin and Ethereum in terms of both return and volatility since May 2021. We expect this relationship to continue and the price to rise from around $600 to $2,775,” said Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, in the report published by the bank. Kendrick sees BNB as a “benchmark-like” asset in the cryptocurrency market. Kendrick acknowledged that it may be weaker in terms of absolute returns and circulating market cap compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, but stated that BNB will maintain its long-term value thanks to its deflationary structure and close relationship with the Binance exchange. Related News: Two Mysterious BTC Whales Who Bought Bitcoin Below $1,000 Have Woken Up - Here's What We Know BNB Chain’s “proof of staked authority” consensus model, which works with just 45 validators, unlike decentralized networks like Ethereum, means the network is highly centralized. Kendrick said this structure has resulted in much lower developer activity compared to rivals like Avalanche and Ethereum. However, he said the recent Pascal hardfork and the Maxwell upgrade expected in June could increase developer interest over time. BNB continues to see strong user demand thanks to its use cases, which provide benefits such as reduced trading fees on the Binance exchange. According to Kendrick, the dominance of decentralized applications like PancakeSwap on the BNB Chain plays a key role in maintaining the network’s effectiveness despite increasing competition from rival ecosystems like Solana. Kendrick also said that BNB’s deflationary supply model and regular token burn mechanism contribute to it trading at a “high” value based on Standard Chartered’s preferred market cap-to-GDP ratio for Layer 1 projects. *This is not investment advice.

In a major development for the broader digital asset adoption in the US, New Hampshire legislators have approved a bill to create the first state-level Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency reserve in the United States. New Bitcoin Reserve Legislation Governor Kelly Ayotte announced the decision on social media X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, stating, “New Hampshire is once again First in the Nation!” This new legislation allows the state to invest up to 5% of its public funds into precious metals and digital assets, including Bitcoin. The bill, known as “HB 302,” positions New Hampshire ahead of federal efforts to establish a national Bitcoin reserve. While the Trump administration proposed a reserve that would utilize existing government-owned Bitcoin, it failed to promise additional purchases. In contrast, New Hampshire’s legislation reflects a proactive approach, aligning with advocates who believe that stockpiling BTC can serve as a hedge against inflation and financial instability. Crypto Reserve Bills Stall In Multiple States Bitcoin enthusiasts have long advocated for both federal and state governments to accumulate the cryptocurrency, arguing that doing so could stabilize the economy and enhance the asset’s value. The recent passage of the crypto reserve bill not only marks a significant achievement for New Hampshire but also underscores the state’s commitment to embracing innovative financial solutions. Conversely, bills aimed at establishing crypto reserves have stalled in jurisdictions such as Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania. Florida also recently withdrew its own reserve bill. At the time of writing, BTC trades at $95,100, attempting to establish this level as key support for a potential move toward the $100,000 milestone, the cryptocurrency’s most important resistance wall.

KuCoin cryptocurrency exchange has released its 30th Proof of Reserves report. According to the report, all of the top cryptocurrencies on the exchange are overcollateralized and completely reserved as of April 30, 2025. As per the data, Bitcoin reserves are covered at 106%, Ethereum at 116%, USDT at 114%, and USDC at 109%. This transparency initiative comes as exchanges face increased scrutiny over their reserve management practices and amid contradictory claims about KuCoin’s actual holdings. Detailed KuCoin reserve ratios exceed 100% across all major assets The most recent Proof of Reserves report of KuCoin provides a transparent picture of the exchange assets. It indicates that user deposits are fully covered and have excess funds on top of the 100% coverage mandate. Based on the information gathered on April 30, 2025, at 23:59:59 UTC+8, the exchange has assets in its wallets that are higher than the combined deposits by users in all the popular cryptocurrencies. KuCoin explains that there are 9,751.17 BTC stored in users’ accounts and a total of 10,306.78 BTC stored in the total wallets in the case of Bitcoin. That equates to a reserve rate of 106%. What the exchange then effectively has is nearly 555 more BTC than have been deposited by users. With Ethereum, this reserve rate of 116% means there are 145,807.40 ETH stored by users against the total 168,779.13 ETH held in wallets. Source: KuCoin The stablecoin reserves are more than fully collateralized. USDT is backed at a 114% ratio, with 1.18 billion in user assets against wallet assets of 1.34 billion. USDC is backed at a ratio of 109%, with 85.71 million in user assets against wallet assets of 93.42 million. These statistics show that if all the users withdrew simultaneously, KuCoin would have reserves to cover all the withdrawals and still have some assets left over. Conflicting narratives about KuCoin’s actual reserves Although a recent proof of reserves report by KuCoin showed strong overcollateralization, the exchange has become a victim of misleading accusations about the true assets on its balance sheets. Since June 2023, KuCoin’s Bitcoin reserves have decreased by 77.6%, according to CryptoQuant’s Onchain School. That’s when the exchange started enforcing more stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations. The analytics firm found that KuCoin’s Bitcoin reserves dropped from about 18,300 BTC to at least 4,100 BTC. This was following the June 5, 2023, rumors regarding shifting KYC rules and the June 28, 2023, release of a real-name system requirement. KuCoin said the claims are false and objected to the release of what it called “unverified claims.” They also asked CryptoQuant to be more careful when releasing information that can affect trust in the market. The exchange claims that its reserves are sufficient, as demonstrated by its reserve period reports. While proof of reserves reports provide a snapshot of an exchange’s holdings at a specific moment, critics argue these reports may not give the complete financial picture. This included potential liabilities or off-chain arrangements. KEY Difference Wire helps crypto brands break through and dominate headlines fast
