Deutsche Bank Predicts Central Banks Will Eventually Hold Bitcoin in Their Reserves

The report notes that Bitcoin’s volatility has declined and its fixed supply makes it a strong candidate for reserve diversification. Analysts compare its trajectory to gold’s evolution into a global store of value.

While skeptics argue Bitcoin remains too unstable for long-term holdings, Deutsche Bank concludes that by the end of the decade, central banks will likely treat Bitcoin as a legitimate reserve asset — marking a major milestone in its acceptance by traditional finance.
