Deutsche Bank: Central banks may include Bitcoin and gold in key reserves by 2030

According to Bloomberg, Deutsche Bank claims that central banks may include Bitcoin and gold in their key reserves by 2030. The study indicates that central banks became net buyers of gold after the 2008 financial crisis, and currently hold over 36,000 tons of gold globally. The US dollar's share of global reserves has fallen from 60% in 2000 to 41% in 2025, driving net inflows of $5 billion and $4.7 billion into gold and Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, respectively, in June. The report states that digital assets should be "complementary" to fiat currencies and emphasizes that Bitcoin will not replace the US dollar. JPMorgan also estimates that stablecoins could generate $1.4 trillion in new US dollar demand by 2027.
