Bank of Korea to take ‘cautious approach’ to Bitcoin reserve
South Korea’s central bank says it has yet to discuss or review a potential Bitcoin reserve, despite recent calls from some lawmakers and crypto lobbyists for the country to do so.
The Bank of Korea says it is taking a “cautious approach” to potentially including Bitcoin as a foreign exchange reserve.
Officials from the Korean central bank said in a March 16 response to a written inquiry that they have not looked into a potential Bitcoin (BTC) reserve, citing high volatility.
Responding to a question from Representative Cha Gyu-geun of the National Assembly’s Planning and Finance Committee, central bankers said that they have “neither discussed nor reviewed the possible inclusion of Bitcoin in foreign exchange reserves, adding that “a cautious approach is needed,” according to the Korea Herald.
