In a recent statement, Christian Lindner, chairman of the German Free Democratic Party (FDP) and former finance minister, called on the European Central Bank (ECB) and the German Federal Bank to explore the inclusion of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, in their reserves. This move is seen as a response to the US government’s aggressive crypto asset policy, which is currently studying the possibility of adding cryptocurrencies to the Federal Reserve’s reserves.
Lindner Cites Global Wealth Growth and Risk Resistance
Lindner emphasized that crypto assets have become a significant part of global wealth growth, and that Europe should avoid being surpassed by the United States in this area. He suggested that Frankfurt review the inclusion of crypto assets as part of the reserves to enhance the risk resistance of the reserves.
No Official Decision Announced
While Lindner’s statement highlights the growing importance of cryptocurrencies in the global economy, no official decision has been announced by the ECB or the German Federal Bank regarding the inclusion of cryptocurrencies in their reserves.
