Bitcoin will not be included in EU reserves; the President of the European Central Bank (ECB) flatly ruled it out at an official event. In that context, the official explained that sovereign reserve assets must meet strict liquidity and security standards that the cryptocurrency does not offer. “Reserves have to be secure, safe, and should not be plagued by money laundering or other criminal activities,” the body stated, closing the door on Bitcoin’s integration into the bloc’s official balance sheets.
These statements, amplified on social media, reinforce the ECB’s historical stance regarding the volatility of decentralized assets. Although global interest in tokenization is growing, the entity maintains that cryptocurrencies do not align with its mandate to preserve financial stability. The refusal comes at a key moment, as Europe finalizes the implementation of regulatory frameworks like MiCA, seeking to control the digital asset environment without integrating them into public treasuries.
Despite pressure from Bitcoin advocates to achieve greater institutional adoption, the message is sharp and conclusive: the ECB will remain committed to traditional and regulated forms of management. Investors should watch how this exclusion influences European monetary policy and whether the strict separation between sovereign reserves and crypto assets is maintained as the digital economy evolves in the region.
