Notable developments in Asia’s cryptocurrency sector unfolded this week. Russia and Japan considered the possibility of establishing Bitcoin reserves, while South Korea experienced a surge in crypto trading volumes.

Russia and Japan Explore Bitcoin Reserves

Russian lawmaker Anton Tkachev advocated for creating a Bitcoin reserve, citing vulnerabilities in traditional reserves due to geopolitical risks. Tkachev noted that cryptocurrencies could combat inflation and sanctions. In Japan, lawmaker Satoshi Hamada proposed allocating part of the country's foreign exchange reserves to Bitcoin to position Japan as a leader in blockchain technology.

Crypto Activity Surges in South Korea

South Korea has seen a significant rise in crypto trading volumes, nearly doubling stock market activity. The nation's top exchanges reported a 24-hour trading volume of $14.59 billion. Political tensions in the country contributed to investments in alternative assets. Additionally, the parliament postponed the implementation of a crypto tax until 2027.

Cryptocurrency Developments in Thailand, Hong Kong, and Iran

Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra urged citizens to embrace Bitcoin, citing forecasts of its potential value reaching $850,000. In Hong Kong, the government clarified that cryptocurrencies are not included in its Exchange Fund investments. In Iran, a shift from restrictive measures to regulating digital currencies is underway, with Finance Minister Abdolnaser Hemmati highlighting efforts to maximize the benefits of digital assets.

Asian countries continue to actively explore the potential of digital assets, underscoring the growing interest in the reservation and management of cryptocurrencies at the national level.
