Bank of Korea Against Adding Bitcoin to Reserves Due to Volatility

Amid global discussions on Bitcoin's security and role in financial systems, the Bank of Korea confirmed its cautious approach to including Bitcoin in reserves due to volatility concerns.

Bank of Korea's Stance on Bitcoin

The Bank of Korea has reaffirmed its cautious stance regarding the inclusion of Bitcoin (BTC) in its foreign exchange reserves, citing high volatility and liquidity risks. This statement was made in response to an inquiry from Representative Cha Gyu-geun. This position reflects South Korea's historically measured approach to cryptocurrency regulation, despite the country being one of the most active crypto markets. Bitcoin's significant price volatility over the past 30 days has reinforced the Bank's skepticism.

Global Trends and Responses

Central banks worldwide are increasingly considering digital assets as part of their financial reserves. Recently, President Trump signed an order to establish Bitcoin reserves in the US. In response, industry leaders in South Korea have advocated for increased use of Bitcoin and the development of a won-backed stablecoin to enhance the country's financial sovereignty. However, the Bank of Korea maintains stringent liquidity criteria that Bitcoin does not yet meet.

Bitcoin and Quantum Security Issues

Bitcoin security expert Jameson Lopp has warned about the potential threat of quantum computers to the Bitcoin network. He argues that using quantum technology to recover lost Bitcoin could undermine the cryptocurrency's principles of censorship resistance and decentralization. Lopp suggests burning lost BTC to maintain the network's core properties, while others focus on developing quantum-resistant solutions to secure Bitcoin's future security.

The Bank of Korea remains cautious about Bitcoin despite global shifts. Some experts call for adaptation and integration, but the debate continues. Concerns about quantum computing highlight the need for new security measures to ensure the system's stability and trust.
