The @CNB_cz launched a historic project from the central banking perspective: a test portfolio of digital assets. The portfolio includes bitcoin, US dollar-pegged stablecoins and a tokenised dollar deposit. The total purchase price of the portfolio is USD 1 million, or around 0.0006% of the CNB’s assets. The portfolio was created in the CNB Lab innovation hub. It does not form part of the international reserves, and the purchases certainly do not represent any sort of investment advice on our part. Why create the portfolio? We want to be prepared for the future. The test portfolio will allow us to gain knowledge and practical experience that will prepare us for tokenisation- and digitalisation-related changes in the financial system. This will ensure we remain able to fulfil our duties arising from the Act on the CNB – that is, to supervise the financial market, to contribute to financial stability and the sound operation of the financial system, to administer payments and to conduct monetary policy, including managing our international reserves. What comes next? The project will be assessed in 2-3 years. Until then, the volume of the portfolio will not be increased.

🚨JUST IN: 12 Senate Democrats unveiled a detailed framework for market structure legislation this morning, signaling the minority party’s readiness to work across the aisle on comprehensive crypto reform.
The group, made up of @SenRubenGallego, @MarkWarner, @SenGillibrand, @SenBooker, @CortezMasto, @SenatorLujan, @SenatorHick, @SenatorWarnock, @SenAdamSchiff, @SenatorAndyKim, @SenLBR and @Sen_Alsobrooks, lays out seven key pillars they believe market structure legislation should include.
They say the framework is meant to act as a roadmap to guide what they hope will be ‘robust, fruitful, bipartisan negotiations’ with Republicans.

After significant studying, and in keeping with President Trump’s vision to make the United States the crypto capital of the world, today I ordered the Great Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prepare their businesses to count cryptocurrency as an asset for a mortgage.
