Simon Dixon, a cryptocurrency investor and influencer, said that Bitcoin offers a transparent ledger for proving hard asset reserves. His comments were made in response to a 2% drawdown in the Bank of England's gold reserves. Dixon shared his views in a February 12 post on X.
"Imagine if there was a ledger where you could prove your hard asset reserves," said Dixon, crypto investor and influencer. "Bitcoin fixes this."
According to CNN, the Bank of England, which is the world’s second-largest gold custodian, has experienced an increase in demand for gold withdrawals. This surge has resulted in wait times extending over several weeks. The demand is attributed to traders taking advantage of a price premium for gold in the United States amid concerns about potential tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, which could raise the cost of gold imports. Consequently, gold prices have risen sharply, with inventories on the U.S. COMEX exchange nearly doubling since October. The Bank of England’s gold stock has decreased by approximately 2% since the end of last year.
