Chairman of Germany’s FDP calls for including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in central bank reserves

PANews reported on December 30 that according to Handelsblatt, Christian Lindner, chairman of the German Free Democratic Party (FDP) and former finance minister, called on the European Central Bank (EZB) and the German Bundesbank to include cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin in their reserves. He mentioned that the U.S. government is adopting an aggressive crypto-asset policy and studying whether the Federal Reserve should include cryptocurrencies in its reserves. Lindner said that Europe needs to avoid being surpassed by the United States in this area, and suggested that crypto assets be reviewed in Frankfurt as part of reserves to enhance the risk resistance of reserves. He emphasized that crypto assets have become an important part of global wealth growth.
