US
spot
Bitcoin
ETFs
could
surpass
$250
billion
in
assets
under

(AUM)
next

at
least
one
wealth
management
platform
allocating
2%
or
more
of
its
assets
to

the

double

Bitcoin

signaling
broader

Global
Bitcoin
Adoption
Prompts
Strategic
Reserve
Exploration

As
the
global
adoption
of

Bitcoin
grows,
countries
are
increasingly
exploring
it
as
a
strategic
reserve
asset,
with
recent
news
emerging
that
Hong
Kong
and
Germany
are
leading
the
charge.

In
Hong
Kong,
legislator
Wu
Jiezhuang
has
proposed
adding
Bitcoin
to
the
Exchange
Fund
to
enhance
financial
security
amid
shifting
global
crypto
dynamics.

Although
it
does
not
currently
target
crypto
assets,
it
does
allow
limited
diversification
and
Hong
Kong’s
increasingly
crypto-friendly
environment,
with
12
Bitcoin-linked
ETFs
already
listed,
suggests
that
a
Bitcoin
reserve
could
be
on
the
horizon.

In
Germany,
meanwhile,
former
finance
minister
Christian
Lindner
has
called
for
the
European
Central
Bank
and
Bundesbank
to
consider
including
Bitcoin
in
their
reserves.
He
emphasized
that
the
US
is
weighing
the
option
to
incorporate
crypto-assets
alongside
traditional
reserves,
and
said
Europe
must
stay
competitive.

Other
countries,
such
as
Russia,
are
also
exploring

Bitcoin
reserves,
while
Japan
has
currently
ruled
out
the
idea.
Following
Donald
Trump’s
2024
victory,
several
US
states,
including
Wyoming,
are
considering
proposals
to
add
Bitcoin
to
their
state
reserves.
