Switzerland's central bank, the Swiss National Bank (SNB), has rejected the proposal to hold part of its reserves in bitcoin due to the cryptocurrency's volatility and lack of essential currency characteristics.
Australia's government has clarified that it has no plans to establish a strategic crypto reserve, instead focusing on regulatory framework development.
Both central banks cited concerns over cryptocurrency volatility, liquidity, and security as reasons for not incorporating crypto into their reserves.
Despite the SNB's rejection, cryptocurrency advocates in Switzerland continue to push forward with the 'Bitcoin Initiative' to require the allocation of reserves to Bitcoin alongside gold.
