Securing the Future

As the price of crypto continues to hover around $100,000 USD, countries and regulators around the world are starting to look more seriously at the idea of adopting crypto, either as a part of their reserves or for transactions and investments.

Securing the Future

This shift can be seen in a number of recent news stories, including the Czech National Bank's governor, Aleš Michl, expressing openness to including bitcoin in the country's reserve strategy; South Korean regulators deliberating the approval of corporate cryptocurrency investments; and Thailand planning to trial cryptocurrency payments in Phuket.

All these stories, and others that continue to come out, signal a broader acceptance of digital assets coming in traditional financial systems, and indeed, investment firm Fidelity Digital Assets anticipates that nation-state adoption of Bitcoin will drive significant growth in the crypto market in 2025. Their research suggests that not allocating Bitcoin could pose a greater risk to nations than incorporating it into their reserves, especially in the face of challenges like inflation and currency debasement. However, even with these positive outlooks for crypto, there is the other side of the coin, where some have reservations about larger-scale adoption of digital currencies when their price can be so volatile.

As countries and institutions increasingly consider Bitcoin for reserves and payments, the importance of robust regulatory frameworks becomes paramount. Effective regulation ensures market stability, protects investors, and fosters innovation within the crypto ecosystem. Without clear guidelines, the integration of digital assets into national economies could lead to financial instability and undermine public trust. This has been seen increasingly over the past few years as countries around the world make, improve or tighten up regulations around digital currencies in order to protect users from malicious actors - a trend that has only been significantly broken by potential changes in the US.

In order to adhere to regulations - whether existing, new or evolving - or in order to protect users and businesses when regulations are relaxed, companies must look to identity solutions that will ensure that only legitimate actors interact in the space or run the risk of fraudsters, scam artists or worse benefitting from weaknesses in the system.
