For emerging markets, ignoring crypto asset reserves is the real “ticking time bomb”
For years, decentralized asset markets were viewed with deep skepticism by financial institutions and regulators alike. But in 2025, that stance is shifting. An increasing number of governments are exploring strategic crypto asset reserves—not just as speculative holdings, but as part of long-term economic positioning. Rather than fearing Bitcoin’s volatility, forward-looking nations now worry about missing out on crypto’s growing geopolitical and monetary relevance. As figures like Binance founder CZ begin advising nation-states on managing sovereign crypto reserves, it’s becoming clear: the real risk for emerging economies isn’t holding digital assets—it’s being left behind in the next era of financial infrastructure.
