Swiss National banks says NO to Bictoin
The head of Switzerland's central bank says Bitcoin won't become part of their national reserves anytime soon.
Swiss National Bank (SNB) President Thomas Jordan recently dismissed the idea of holding Bitcoin as part of the country's reserves. Speaking at a press event, Jordan said the SNB does not believe Bitcoin fits the criteria of a reserve asset. He emphasized that Bitcoin is too volatile and doesn't match the security and liquidity standards expected for Switzerland’s financial reserves.
While the SNB could technically purchase Bitcoin if it decided to, Jordan explained that the central bank sees no need or advantage in doing so right now. His comments reflect a cautious approach towards cryptocurrencies, despite Switzerland’s reputation for embracing innovation in finance.
This cautious stance by a leading financial authority signals that traditional institutions remain skeptical about integrating Bitcoin into formal monetary systems, at least for now.
