The idea of tokenizing the US gold reserves is gaining traction. While Bitcoin was designed as decentralized digital money, tokenization projects rely on blockchains closely integrated with traditional institutions. Advocates argue that such an approach could enhance transparency, traceability, and efficiency. However, significant technical and regulatory hurdles remain. Currently, the US Treasury holds 13,452,810 troy ounces of gold, safeguarded by the Federal Reserve. A tokenization model...

Die Idee, die US-Goldreserven zu tokenisieren, gewinnt zunehmend an Aufmerksamkeit. Während Bitcoin als dezentrales digitales Geld konzipiert wurde, das ohne zentrale Instanzen auskommt, basieren Tokenisierungsprojekte auf Blockchains, die eng mit etablierten Institutionen kooperieren. Befürworter argumentieren, dass eine solche Maßnahme Transparenz, Nachvollziehbarkeit und Effizienz steigern könnte. Doch die technischen und regulatorischen Herausforderungen sind...

Bitcoin regulation in the United States remains a highly debated issue. Several bills and executive orders in Washington, D.C. could shape the future of Bitcoin and other digital assets.

The United States Federal Reserve announced a third consecutive rate cut, this time by 25 basis points. Unlike the previous such occasions in the past few months, bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market headed south immediately and violently. Perhaps the reason for this lies in Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s words as he hinted that the central bank might halt its current policy of reducing the key interest rates due to the alarming CPI data that came out for November and...

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has dismissed the idea that Bitcoin could replace the U.S. dollar, likening the cryptocurrency to gold as a speculative asset rather than a store of value. Powell shared these views during his appearance at The New York Times DealBook Summit in Manhattan.

BTC ETFs on the Inflow Side CryptoPotato reported on Wednesday that US investors were on a shopping spree for the spot Bitcoin ETFs. In the four...
