TechFlow, October 10 — According to a Bloomberg report, Deutsche Bank's latest research report indicates that due to increasing institutional investment and sustained weakness of the U.S. dollar, central banks worldwide may hold significant amounts of bitcoin and gold as key reserve assets by 2030. The report shows that the dollar's share in global reserves has declined from 60% in 2000 to 41% in 2025, and this "de-dollarization" trend has driven record inflows into gold and bitcoin ETFs.
Gold prices have already surpassed the $4,000 per ounce mark, while bitcoin is trading near its all-time high. Marion Laboure, senior economist at Deutsche Bank in London, said that for central banks, allocating bitcoin could represent a new, modern "pillar of financial security," similar to gold's role in the 20th century.
Nevertheless, researchers emphasize that bitcoin and gold will not completely replace the dollar, but should serve as complements to national currencies and play a role in central bank reserve strategies.
