The crypto ecosystem could be entering an unprecedented phase of transformation. For years, markets have followed well-established cycles, dictated by the internal mechanisms of bitcoin, in particular the halving, which punctuates periods of increase and decrease. Today, a major political initiative is emerging, likely to shake up these historical foundations. US Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed the Bitcoin Reserve Act, a bill that aims to recognize bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset for the United States. This initiative, which provides for the gradual integration of one million bitcoins into the US federal reserves, is part of a context of growing economic and geopolitical rivalries. As powers such as Russia and Germany are also considering adopting similar strategies, this project is intriguing. Moreover, the implications of such an approach go beyond American borders and redefine the role of Bitcoin on the international stage, which gives it an unprecedented status in the history of cryptos.
