European Parliament’s Sarah Knafo tells EU to dump the Central Bank and adopt a Bitcoin Reserve! ₿🪙

European lawmaker Sarah Knafo called on the European Union to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve while rejecting the proposed adoption of the “digital euro,” a central bank digital currency (CBDC) under development by the European Central Bank (ECB).

Knafo, a French magistrate and a member of the European Parliament since June, delivered a pro-Bitcoin speech calling on European lawmakers to launch a strategic BTC reserve.

“No to the digital euro, yes to a strategic Bitcoin reserve,” Knafo said in an X post, which included a video of her speech before the European Parliament.

The lawmaker said that it’s time to stop “totalitarian temptations” by the ECB, calling for a shift from regulatory overreach in crypto to adopting the decentralized nature of Bitcoin.

In her speech, Knafo compared crypto regulation developments worldwide, citing El Salvador’s Bitcoin adoption in 2021 and the crypto-friendly agenda of United States President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration.

She also mentioned that US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell referred to Bitcoin as digital gold in early December.

Europe has taken a different approach to crypto regulation, Knafo said, adding that local regulators have been primarily focused on regulation, taxation and stifling innovation.

The ECB has been officially studying the concept of a CBDC for more than four years, but the EU has yet to decide on launching a digital euro.

The European Central Bank published one of its first reports dedicated to a potential digital euro in October 2020, starting a long-running examination of its potential and risks.

European authorities have been struggling with a decision on a digital euro as many have expressed concerns about its privacy risks, possible threats to private payment firms and other issues.

In its latest rulebook, the ECB said it continues preparations for a potential digital euro launch and expects to make a final decision on the matter by October 2025.
