ECB will ‘assess’ ties with national banks holding Bitcoin reserves

February 7, 2025No Comments2 Mins Read

The European Central Bank (ECB) is closely monitoring the potential inclusion of Bitcoin in the reserve assets of European national banks. ECB board member Piero Cipollone recently discussed the implications of such a decision in an interview, indicating that the central bank may reassess its relationship with any institution that adopts Bitcoin.

Cipollone highlighted the need for a thorough risk assessment of repurchase agreements and swap lines if a national bank integrates Bitcoin into its holdings. The ECB will evaluate the risks associated with this move before determining whether to maintain ties with the institution in question.

The board member expressed skepticism about Bitcoin’s role as a reserve asset, emphasizing its lack of intrinsic value. He suggested that the appeal of investing in BTC stems primarily from speculation on price appreciation, rather than any underlying value, backing, or earning model.

Recent discussions within the Czech National Bank (CNB) about potentially adding Bitcoin to its reserves have sparked debate within the European banking community. However, ECB President Christine Lagarde remains confident that major European central banks, including the CNB, are unlikely to approve BTC as a reserve asset.

Cipollone also addressed comparisons between Bitcoin and gold, dismissing the notion that the two assets are equivalent. While both share certain characteristics, such as scarcity and perceived value storage, he argued that the market structure, transparency, and adoption of the two assets differ significantly.

He pointed out that gold’s historical significance and established commercial and industrial use set it apart from Bitcoin, which lacks these attributes. Additionally, he noted that gold is actively used in various industries, giving it intrinsic value beyond being a store of wealth.

In contrast, Bitcoin’s utility for everyday transactions is limited compared to fiat currencies, which provide stability and facilitate payments. Cipollone emphasized the practicality and widespread acceptance of fiat currencies in daily transactions, highlighting their superiority in terms of usability.

As the debate over Bitcoin’s role in reserve assets continues, the ECB remains vigilant in assessing the risks and implications of integrating cryptocurrencies into the financial system. The central bank’s stance on this issue will likely shape the future relationship between European national banks and digital assets like Bitcoin.
