The Major Collapse The brief pump in the cryptocurrency sector on March 2 and the early hours of March 3 was abruptly suspended by another huge correction. The massive volatility was likely caused by Donald Trump&#8217;s actions. First, the American president confirmed that his administration will move forward with the plans to establish a strategic crypto reserve that will include leading assets like BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA, and SOL.
