These include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (Sol), XRP and Cardano (ADA). Above all President Donald Trump recently targeted these assets for the establishment of a national cryptocurrency reserve. She are also among the top 10 assets on market cap.
In her letter, Warren questioned the investment of sacks in the five cryptocurrencies contained in Trump’s crypto reserve. She claims that the support of the government for the blockchain industry would drive up the values for existing owners, which raises questions about conflicts of interest in civil servants such as Sacks.
Sacks is a special government agent in Trump’s second term. How In our recently published article describedSacks is a former supporter of cryptocurrencies. In an interview from 2017, he said Bitcoin would change the Internet.
Trump emphasized that sacks would work on the development of a legal framework that would create clarity for the crypto industry. However, Sacks offers certain exceptions from the ethics rules. For example, he can maintain the confidentiality of his financial reports.

Hard times for David Sacks
The senator asks about the identities of those who helped Trump to choose the five cryptocurrencies. In her letter, she also asked how many of them were subject to the laws about conflicts of interest. She also asked Sacks about all relevant shops made by someone who had worked on reserve policy before Trump’s announcement.
The senator also demanded that sacks publicly announce all the reports he personally submitted to the Office of Government Ethics. In addition, she wants the Crypto Czar to publish evidence that it has sold its stocks to the cryptocurrencies listed.
Warren and other critics argue that Sack benefits from the nation’s cryptocurrency reserve because he keeps investments in the five cryptocurrencies. Sack said that he separated from all his crypto investments before joining the administration.
