Odaily Planet Daily News: In recent years, central banks and financial institutions around the world have conducted an increasing amount of research, focusing on Bitcoin and its potential impact on monetary policy. These studies published by organizations such as the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank (ECB), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) emphasize a key theme: the disruptive nature of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may limit the ability of central banks to fulfill their traditional responsibilities of managing the economy. These studies indicate that monetary policy makers are placing significantly more importance on Bitcoin than ever before. Working papers may not necessarily reflect the views of central bank decision-makers, but they still suggest that monetary policy is increasingly focused on Bitcoin. This extends beyond academic working papers and is also reflected in policy, such as the International Monetary Fund's 2022 Argentina bailout program, which includes several anti-cryptocurrency clauses.
