Christian Lindner has emphasized the importance of crypto assets in contributing to "global prosperity," highlighting that the United States is considering including them in its reserves. He expressed concerns that Germany and Europe should not fall behind in this regard. This statement was shared on X on December 29.
"Crypto assets now account for a significant part of the increase in global prosperity," said Lindner, leader of the Free Democratic Party (FDP). "In the USA, the Federal Reserve is even considering including them in its reserves. Frankfurt should also look into this. Germany and Europe must not allow themselves to be left behind again."
Lindner said that both the European Central Bank (ECB) and Bundesbank should consider incorporating cryptocurrencies alongside traditional assets like gold and foreign currencies. He underscored the necessity for Frankfurt to embrace crypto assets, noting that the U.S. Federal Reserve is contemplating their inclusion in its reserves. Lindner stressed that Germany and Europe must not "be left behind."
