Bitcoin’s Potential in Central Bank Reserves: Could It Be a Part of Global Balance Sheets by 2030?

Deutsche Bank economists predict that Bitcoin might become a regular fixture in central bank reserves, similar to gold, by 2030. This potential shift stems from the cryptocurrency’s rising role as a reserve asset thanks to its limited supply and expanding use cases. While concerns remain about Bitcoin’s inherent volatility, its increasing legitimacy, liquidity, and ability to hedge against inflation and geopolitical risks are fueling this outlook. This adoption, spearheaded by the United States, could help Bitcoin shed its speculative tag and truly establish itself as a global asset class.
