Odaily News The Economic Daily published an article titled "Will Bitcoin Become a Reserve Asset of the United States?" The article stated that although the new US government that is about to take office has shown great interest in cryptocurrencies, it still needs to pass multiple "gates" to make Bitcoin a real national reserve asset of the United States. From a policy perspective, listing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset requires a complex legislative process, involving the coordination and balance of interests of multiple regulatory agencies. In addition, traditional US financial institutions, conservative lawmakers, and interest groups that are skeptical of digital assets may collectively oppose it, and the implementation is not easy. From the market and regulatory perspective, Bitcoin prices often fluctuate violently, which is quite different from the stringent requirements of national reserves for stability. At the same time, the US cryptocurrency regulatory system is not sound, and a more complete legal framework needs to be established to include Bitcoin in the national reserve system. Some US media also pointed out that Bitcoin has never been a good inflation hedging tool - Bitcoin is more closely related to speculative stocks, "rather than traditional inflation hedging tools such as gold or inflation-linked bonds." During the previous term of the Republican government, the attitude towards Bitcoin was not friendly, and it was considered "air without a value foundation." However, in the recent election campaign, the attitude has changed 180 degrees. Some analysts pointed out that this change, on the one hand, reflects the new US government's hope that the United States can take the lead in the field of digital currency and thus maintain its competitiveness in the global economy. On the other hand, it is also facing the pressure of huge national debts and trying to reduce the issuance of national debts through the appreciation of Bitcoin without increasing the government deficit. Further, the consequences of the United States' abuse of the status of the dollar, uncontrolled over-issuance of currency, and serious overdraft of the credit of the dollar for many years have become apparent, and the pace of "de-dollarization" in many countries has accelerated. The change in the attitude of some Americans towards Bitcoin is an attempt to maintain the loose international status of the dollar. The surge in the price of Bitcoin seems to have brought some people hope to reproduce the process of "from the disintegration of the Bretton Woods system to the establishment of the petrodollar." However, Bitcoin's own attributes are not stable. Once it becomes a strategic reserve asset, it may bring greater challenges to regulators, and may also arouse the vigilance of other countries in the world and intensify friction in the international financial field. It is still unknown whether the US economy, which has been eroded by high inflation for many days, can withstand its impact.
