Will Bitcoin become a reserve asset for the United States?
The surge in Bitcoin prices seems to have given some people hope to reproduce the process from the disintegration of the Bretton Woods system to the establishment of the petrodollar. However, Bitcoin's own attributes are not stable. Once it becomes a strategic reserve asset, it may bring greater challenges to regulators, and may also arouse the vigilance of other countries in the world, exacerbating frictions in the international financial field. It is still unknown whether the US economy, which has been eroded by high inflation for many days, can withstand its impact.
Although the new US government that is about to take office has shown great interest in cryptocurrencies, it still needs to pass multiple "gates" to make Bitcoin a real national reserve asset of the United States.
