European central banks won't be adding Bitcoin to their reserves anytime soon. According to recent statements from EU monetary officials, digital assets fail to meet the strict criteria required for official reserve holdings.

The key requirements? Reserves need to be highly liquid, demonstrate robust security, maintain stability, and crucially—show no connection to money laundering or illicit financial activity.

This stance reflects the ongoing divide between traditional finance institutions and the crypto ecosystem. While some nations explore digital asset integration, major central banks continue to maintain cautious positions on cryptocurrency adoption.
