Bitcoin reserve bill introduced in Brazil

  • Bitcoin adoption could get another boost from Brazil.
  • This is after a Brazilian Congressman introduced a bill proposing adoption of BTC as national reserve asset.
  • US lawmakers are also pushing for a Bitcoin strategic reserve.

A Congressman in Brazil has introduced a Bitcoin reserve bill, adding the country to a growing list of nations looking to tap into the flagship cryptocurrency as a treasury reserve asset.

On Nov. 25, Brazilian Congressman Eros Biondini introduced a new proposal aimed at the creation of a Bitcoin (BTC) reserve in Brazil.

The proposal, titled ‘Bitcoin Sovereign Strategic Reserve (RESBit)’, outlines the benefits of adopting BTC as a national Treasury reserve asset. Diversification of the country’s assets and reduction of economic risk are part of the strategic plan. The bill also looks at the opportunity this would offer in terms of putting Brazil at the forefront of technological and financial innovation and development globally.

According to Biondini, RESBit will be critical to bolstering Brazil’s economic sovereignty if approved.

In this case, Biondini proposes a gradual addition of BTC to the strategic reserve coffers. The bill targets having Bitcoin form 5% of the country’s national reserves. The acquisition and management of this project will be under the Central Bank of Brazil, with purchased BTC stored in cold wallets.

During his campaign, US president-elect Donald Trump vowed to support a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the country. Since his election to office, and ahead of his inauguration in January, a lot has happened with regard to a US national bitcoin reserve. US senator Cynthia Lummis has spearheaded these efforts, with multiple industry players backing it.

This comes as other countries, including Argentina, Morocco, and Romania add to the overall bullishness around BTC adoption across the globe.

Morocco reconsidering its crypto ban, drafting crypto regulations

  • Morocco is drafting new crypto regulations to reverse its 2017 digital asset ban.
  • Morocco’s central bank is exploring the creation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
  • Global trends show more countries, like the UK and EU, moving toward crypto regulation.

Morocco is reconsidering its stance on cryptocurrencies, with plans to reverse a 2017 ban on digital assets and introduce comprehensive regulatory frameworks.

Morocco’s central bank, Bank Al-Maghrib, is currently drafting new legislation aimed at regulating digital currencies, signalling a significant shift in the government’s approach to cryptocurrencies.

Abdellatif Jouahri, the governor of the central bank, confirmed that the new draft law is under review and could soon be adopted. The law is part of Morocco’s strategy to regulate cryptocurrencies more effectively in response to growing interest and adoption, despite the initial ban.

By late 2023, nearly 5% of Moroccans were using digital assets, highlighting the widespread use of cryptocurrencies, even in the face of prohibitive laws.

The move comes at a time of rising global interest in cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin nearing the milestone of $100,000, further fueling global crypto discussions.

Morocco considering creating a CBDC

In addition to legalizing cryptocurrencies, the country is exploring the possibility of creating a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

The central bank’s governor revealed that the central bank is assessing how a CBDC could support public policy objectives, such as promoting financial inclusion, by offering a regulated and secure digital currency alternative.

The global momentum towards clearer crypto regulations

As Morocco moves closer to legalizing cryptocurrencies, the country joins a global wave of nations embracing digital assets.

The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), expected to be implemented by the end of 2024, and the UK, which plans to introduce a comprehensive crypto regulatory framework in early 2025, are just some examples of nations that are creating regulatory clarity in the digital finance space.

These steps suggest a future where the digital finance landscape is more structured, secure, and conducive to innovation, providing clearer guidelines for investors and businesses in the crypto market.
