Swiss National Bank Refuses to Consider Bitcoin as Reserve Asset

3 days ago

On April 26th, as per Coindesk, the Swiss National Bank has declined to hold Bitcoin reserves. The reason given is the concerns regarding the liquidity and volatility of the cryptocurrency market. Swiss National Bank President Martin Schlegel stated at the Friday central bank meeting: "For cryptocurrencies, although market liquidity may sometimes appear sufficient, it will naturally be questioned during a crisis. Cryptocurrencies are also renowned for their high volatility, which poses a risk to the long-term store of value. In a nutshell, it can be said that cryptocurrencies currently fail to meet the high requirements of our currency reserves."

Economist: The Fed Will Cut Interest Rates Twice This Year, Timing Will Be in the Second Half

On April 29th, Melanie Baker, a senior economist at London Royal Asset Management, stated in a report that she still anticipates that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates twice in 2025. But this is not expected to happen before the second half of the year when the economy is projected to exhibit clearer indications of slowing down. She pointed out that the risk of a recession has grown, and the global and U.S. economic outlooks have worsened. Nevertheless, she is currently in the "economic slowdown" camp rather than the "economic recession" camp due to the temporary halt of tariff escalation and signs that Trump is responding to market pressures.
