The President of the Swiss Central Bank has rejected Bitcoin as a reserve asset, triggering a wave of national referendums!



On April 25, Martin Schlegel, the president of the Swiss National Bank (SNB), stated in an interview that the Swiss Central Bank does not intend to include Bitcoin in its reserve assets due to significant concerns over its stability and liquidity.

Schlegel stated that the volatility of the cryptocurrency market is too great to meet the standards required for national reserves. Therefore, the Swiss Central Bank's attitude towards Bitcoin can be said to be very cautious when considering reserve assets.

In the face of such a situation, local cryptocurrency advocates in Switzerland did not back down; instead, they decided to initiate a national referendum, attempting to amend the constitution to require the Swiss National Bank to include Bit and gold in its reserves.

One of the initiators of this idea, Luzius Meisser, believes that it can not only help Switzerland cope with the weakness of the US dollar and the euro but also reduce the political influence brought by foreign exchange reserves.

He said in 谈到Bit币时, 随着世界趋势向多极化发展,Holding Bit币的意义变得更加显., 毕actually compared to the dollar and 欧元,bit币的供应量 are not easily manipulated by politicians.

However, implementing this referendum proposal is not that simple. The proposal was put forward by the Swiss Federal Chancellery at the end of December 2024, and the advocates need to collect 100,000 signatures in order to push for a real referendum.

This process will undoubtedly attract attention, especially against the backdrop of the changing global attitude towards cryptocurrencies, and Switzerland's move holds significant symbolic meaning.

At the same time, many countries around the world are closely monitoring Switzerland's actions. For example, South Korean presidential candidate Hong Joon-pyo is also promoting plans to facilitate blockchain development and relax regulations on cryptocurrencies.

In summary, these actions are in line with the U.S. policies during the Trump era, indicating that global attention to cryptocurrencies is deepening.

What do you think about Switzerland's initiative for a national referendum? Do you think Switzerland should include Bitcoin as a reserve asset? Are you optimistic that other countries will gradually promote lenient policies for cryptocurrencies in the future? I look forward to your insights!
