Frequently Asked Questions

How does the crypto reserve work?

• A Crypto Reserve typically involves the management of a diverse set of digital assets, including:

  • Cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum)

  • Stablecoins (e.g., USDC, EURT)

  • Blockchain-based tokens (e.g., central bank digital currencies, CBDCs)

  These assets would be stored in highly secure systems (e.g., cold storage wallets) and might be used to support the financial system, stabilize markets, or back digital currencies issued by central banks or sovereign entities.

What are the benefits?

• Reduced Risk from Foreign Digital Assets: It helps prevent heavy reliance on non-European or foreign-dominated cryptocurrencies that could be subject to geopolitical pressures.

• Strengthened Digital Infrastructure: A Crypto Reserve supports the development and security of digital assets, enabling smoother integration of cryptocurrencies into mainstream financial systems.

• Market Confidence: By creating a reserve, countries can inspire greater confidence in their local digital economy, attracting investment and innovation.

• Support for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs): A Crypto Reserve can complement the development of CBDCs by providing a foundational asset pool for national digital currencies.

Who regulates the crypto reserve?

The European Central Bank (ECB): In the EU, the ECB would be a primary authority regulating and overseeing any digital reserve related to the Eurozone. The ECB has already been exploring digital currencies and stablecoins as part of its digital finance strategy.
