US election crypto drama, AI crime crackdown in spotlight

  • Former Bank of China executive criticizes Trump’s Bitcoin reserve proposal as contradictory to dollar supremacy goals.
  • US Treasury’s Foreign Exchange Stability Fund ($206 billion) deemed insufficient for meaningful Bitcoin reserves.
  • Wang Yongli warns of risks associated with government and central bank Bitcoin holdings.
  • Proposal to use seized cryptocurrency assets faces legal complications regarding ownership rights.
  • Bitcoin’s decentralized nature could potentially undermine US dollar’s global position.

Former Bank of China vice president Wang Yongli has raised concerns about Donald Trump‘s proposed Bitcoin reserve strategy, stating it contradicts the presidential candidate’s stated objective of maintaining US dollar supremacy. In an analysis published in a Chinese state-backed financial magazine, Wang emphasized that Bitcoin’s decentralized structure works against dollar hegemony.

Financial Constraints and Practical Challenges

The US Treasury’s Foreign Exchange Stability Fund, currently valued at $206 billion, lacks sufficient resources to establish meaningful Bitcoin reserves without increasing national debt. This financial limitation presents a substantial obstacle to implementing Trump’s proposed cryptocurrency strategy.

Legal and Economic Implications

Wang questioned the legality of using confiscated Bitcoin for national reserves, suggesting that seized digital assets should return to legitimate owners. The proposal raises complex questions about asset ownership rights and the role of cryptocurrency in national monetary policy. The former banker also cautioned that both governmental and central bank Bitcoin holdings could introduce unprecedented financial risks to national reserves.
