Ahead of the United States! Former German finance minister suggests: Europe, German central bank should include BTC in reserves

Christian Lindner, chairman of the Free Democratic Party of Germany (FDP) and former finance minister, suggested on the 29th that Germany's Central Bank and European Central Bank should consider including BTC in their reserves, pointing out that the U.S. government is adopting an aggressive asset policy and studying whether the Federal Reserve should include cryptocurrency in its reserves, and Europe needs to avoid being surpassed by the United States in this area.

Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba: At present, there is a lack of sufficient information, safety and Liquidity are the top considerations) According to Handelsblatt, Christian Lindner, chairman of the German Free Democratic Party (FDP) and former finance minister, said in an interview on the 29th that Germany's Central Bank and Europe's Central Bank in addition to gold and forex, Cryptocurrency should also be considered as part of the reserves, and Europe should not be left behind by the United States. European Central Bank, German Central Bank should be included in BTC reserves Christian Lindner pointed out that European Central Bank and German Central Bank should consider including cryptocurrencies like BTC in their reserve system, and he supported this proposal on the grounds of similar considerations in the United States: The Trump administration has adopted a very progressive policy towards encryption assets such as BTC. In addition to the dollar, the United States wants to become a global leader in the cryptocurrency space, and even in Washington, the Fed is considering encryption assets as part of its reserves, alongside coin and gold. Christian Lindner stressed that although Central Bank Europe and Central Bank Germany are independent in decision-making, Germany and Europe should not lag behind again in this regard: Therefore, in Frankfurt, it is worth examining whether encryption assets can also become part of Central Bank's reserves. In Christian Lindner's view, incorporating cryptocurrency into the reserve system may also help strengthen the resilience of reserves, as encryption assets are now an important part of global wealth growth. When asked about the risks of cryptocurrency, Christian Lindner mentioned that these risks are well known, its price fluctuations are frequent, no one would be wise to invest all their money in cryptocurrency, but as a decentralization system, no party has absolute power, its political risks are manageable, and even traditional assets like precious metals, There will also be price fluctuations. U.S. President-elect Trump has repeatedly publicly promised to include BTC in the U.S. Strategic Reserve, and Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed the U.S. BTC Strategic Reserve Act, which proposes to purchase 200,000 BTC per year and reach 1 million in five years. Since Trump proposed the plan to establish US BTC reserves, causing global follow, countries have begun to discuss related issues, the well-known American business magazine "Forbes" more boldly predicts that by 2025, the G7 group or BRICS countries may establish BTC reserves, thus setting off a global BTC reserve race, so that BTC's status is on par with assets such as gold, forex reserves and sovereign bonds. In fact, the topic of BTC reserves has recently spread to Japan, Russia and other countries, and Japanese Senator Satorator Satoru Hamada last week called on the Japanese government to follow the U.S. initiative, but Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said that there is not enough information about the actions of the United States and other countries to express a position on the issue. Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov recently said that the issue of creating a cryptocurrency reserve could be considered in the future, but at the moment this issue is not under discussion, stressing that perhaps one day, Russia will accept the idea of creating a national BTC reserve, but since cryptocurrency is a very fluctuating tool, it can be dangerous to invest the funds of sovereign countries in something so unpredictable.
