In a new report, Deutsche Bank analyst Marion Laboure examines Bitcoin’s potential as a digital gold asset. While highlighting the cryptocurrency’s speculative nature and high volatility as risks, Laboure emphasizes that central banks are unlikely to adopt Bitcoin as reserves by 2030. This scenario could drive adoption of Bitcoin in global economies, impacting financial strategies and the broader ecosystem. The report suggests that changes in regulatory frameworks and market acceptance will determine whether Bitcoin becomes a store of value comparable to gold. While acknowledging Bitcoin’s volatility, Laboure emphasizes its potential future use as a reserve asset.
