According to PANews, Grayscale has highlighted on Platform X that its Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) is the only publicly traded fund in the United States that exclusively holds the same cryptocurrencies as the U.S. crypto strategic reserve. As of February 28, the holdings of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). Previously, it was reported that U.S. President Donald Trump announced the crypto strategic reserve assets, which also comprise BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA.

According to Cointelegraph, U.S. authorities are in the process of returning $8.2 million in cryptocurrency that was frozen and seized from three scam addresses. This effort is aimed at compensating victims of a fraudulent scheme involving deceptive messages and a fake investment opportunity. The scam operated by sending messages to random phone numbers, pretending to have dialed the wrong number. Scammers would then build a rapport with the recipients, eventually persuading them to invest in a fraudulent cryptocurrency scheme. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has identified 33 individuals who fell victim to this scam, with five more yet to be identified. The total losses reported amount to $6 million, as stated in a February 28 announcement from the Ohio District Attorney’s office. The investigation began after a victim filed a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center in June. A subsequent blockchain analysis revealed that a portion of the stolen funds had been converted into Tether (USDT) and transferred to the three cryptocurrency addresses in question. Following the execution of a federal seizure warrant, Tether froze the funds and transferred them to a law-enforcement-controlled wallet, where they have remained. On February 27, a forfeiture complaint was filed in an Ohio District Court by acting U.S. Attorney for Ohio Carol Skutnik and Assistant U.S. Attorney James Morford. They are requesting the court to forfeit all funds in the three addresses so they can be returned to the victims. The complaint notes that the accounts contained additional funds beyond the victims’ traceable losses, which were involved in money laundering and wire fraud, totaling $8.2 million. The complaint further explains that the scammers contacted victims through seemingly innocuous, misdirected, or "wrong number" messages sent via text, dating apps, and professional meet-up groups. The fraudsters gained the victims' trust and affection through manipulative tactics. Once trust was established, they shared personal testimonials of success in cryptocurrency investments, which reduced the victims' skepticism and persuaded them to invest. Victims were allegedly guided to open legitimate crypto exchange accounts and transfer funds to a fraudulent site controlled by the scammers, which promised high returns and encouraged further investments. In one case, an Ohio woman was tricked into sending more money under the pretense of needing additional payments to release her initial funds. After losing her life savings of $663,000, she was unable to send more money, and the fraudsters allegedly threatened harm to her friends and family unless she complied. Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis reported in its February 13 Crypto Scam Revenue 2024 report that generative AI is making scams more scalable and affordable for bad actors, potentially leading to record losses in 2025. Meanwhile, on-chain security firm Cyvers highlights that pig butchering scams pose a significant threat to crypto investors, with losses reaching billions across 200,000 identified cases in 2024.

Odaily Planet Daily News Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley said on X: "I saw Trump's statement today. Like everyone else, I imagined that the strategic reserve would only include Bitcoin, which makes the most sense to me. Many crypto assets have advantages, but we are not talking about the US portfolio here, we are talking about reserves, and Bitcoin is the undisputed means of storing value in the digital age. Of course, I am grateful that the new government has such a constructive view on this area. Looking forward to learning more ideas here."

Odaily Planet Daily News Placeholder VC partner Chris Burniske forwarded the views of Taproot Wizards founder Udi Wertheimer on social media. Udi Wertheimer said that the best interpretation of the strategic reserve so far is that this is just a typical Trump negotiation strategy. To achieve a real reserve, Trump must convince Congress, and he cannot decide on his own. Whenever Trump needs to convince other stakeholders, he always starts with an absurd proposal and can back off later, such as the previous Gaza plan, the annexation of Canada, and now the ADA strategic reserve. So, in Trump's "chess game language", this means that he is telling Congress: If you don't agree to the Bitcoin reserve, I will propose more outrageous conditions.

According to PANews, Colombian Senator Gustavo Moreno and Congress Representative Julián López have introduced a bill aimed at establishing a legal framework to protect cryptocurrency users in the country. Moreno highlighted that the absence of regulation allows cryptocurrency exchanges and other companies to operate in an unregulated environment, posing uncertainty and risks to customers. The proposed legislation includes 16 provisions covering monitoring, marketing rules, education, cryptocurrency taxation, and anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing measures (AML/CFT). The lawmakers stated that by 'protecting users,' the bill could also encourage cryptocurrency investment in the long term. Additionally, the bill seeks to introduce a licensing system for cryptocurrency operators, requiring them to register as Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP). In other countries, VASP licensing systems typically aim to ensure that cryptocurrency exchanges and wallet companies comply with AML/CFT protocols. Since 2021, the Colombian Financial Superintendency has been conducting pilot projects related to cryptocurrencies. However, these pilot projects have yet to produce a 'specific regulatory framework.'

Odaily Planet Daily News Ethereum Co-Executive Director Tomasz K. Stańczak said on X: "Due to the impact of the encrypted strategic reserve, now is the time. For all those who build large-scale stable DeFi, institutional custody solutions, institutional pledges, stablecoins, and institutional wallets, this is a short opportunity to demonstrate the maturity, security, and extensive integration of the Ethereum ecosystem with global finance. I can't guarantee that the Ethereum Foundation will be able to deliver it quickly enough, and I'm not sure if Etherealize is fully operational to do this within hours, so go quickly, don't wait for us."
