Bitcoin could get closer to having a place at the government table. Morgan Stanley states that the largest cryptocurrency in the world is now large enough to be owned as a reserve asset by the United States. The bank cited Bitcoin $ 1.07 dollars of market capitalization as one of the reasons why the notion is no longer a fantasy.
But there is a catch. Bitcoin Swing swing too wildly price. This volatility makes it a risky bet, in particular compared to other reserve currencies such as the dollar, the euro or the yen. Although the figures show that it increases, Morgan Stanley warned that stability is always a major problem.

Strategic bitcoin reserve of American eyes
With this development, US President Donald Trump took a step ahead. In March, the Trump government introduced a new decree to ask the government to create a federal institution to hold bitcoins. It is discussed in the same way as the way in which gold is deposited with the government in Fort Knox.

A Strategic bitcoin reserve is currently on the political agenda. Donors say that the action will put the United States before the pack in cryptographic policy and strengthened its financial future. Some go so far as to claim that this could help national debt.
According to Morgan Stanley's point of view, if the United States had to maintain between 12% and 17% of the supply of superior cryptography, it would be comparable to the treatment of other currencies in world reserves. This would involve sitting about $ 370 billion in BTC to match its importance on the international market.
Serious report of @Morganstanley.
-Bitcoin has sufficient market capitalization to be a reserve, but is more volatile than other reserve currencies.
-The volatility decreases.
– The 370B allocation to Bitcoin would reflect the proportions of market capitalization.

The United Kingdom and Switzerland say no
While this happens, European governments maintain the distance. The United Kingdom has already rejected the possibility of holding Bitcoin in reserve. During the FT digital asset summit, the economic secretary Emma Reynolds said that the government will plan to regulate the crypto and apply the blockchain to public finance, but would not hold BTC.
In Switzerland, the central bank also made a decision: at its annual meeting, the president of the Swiss National Bank, Martin Schlegel, said that cryptocurrencies do not provide long-term protection of the required value for reserves. He cited a brutal drop in liquidity as one of the main threats.
Volatility always the main problem
While bitcoin lovers can imagine the future, money experts respond to this price volatility is still too excessive. The supporter of Bitcoin, Troy Cross, admitted the high levels of volatility present, it is difficult to qualify the asset as “reserving”. But he also declared that if these fluctuations are lower than the important thresholds, the crypto argument will be much more powerful.
