TechFlow news, December 30 — According to Handelsblatt, Christian Lindner, chairman of Germany's Free Democratic Party (FDP) and former finance minister, called on the European Central Bank (ECB) and Deutsche Bundesbank to include cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin in their reserves.
Lindner noted that the U.S. government is pursuing an aggressive policy toward crypto assets, with Washington even considering the possibility of the Federal Reserve including crypto assets alongside currencies and gold in its reserves. He said Europe must avoid being overtaken by the U.S. in this area, and recommended examining in Frankfurt the inclusion of crypto assets as part of reserves to enhance resilience. He emphasized that crypto assets currently represent a significant portion of global wealth growth.
