Central Banks and Bitcoin: Inside the Czech National Bank's Groundbreaking Custody Experiment

The Czech National Bank (CNB) has launched a pilot project to test the direct custody of Bitcoin, marking a significant shift from the typical skepticism of central banks toward cryptocurrency. The initiative involves a $1 million operational sandbox that includes Bitcoin, a dollar stablecoin, and tokenized bank deposits. According to Trezor analyst Lucien, the project is not about immediate adoption into national reserves but about building internal capabilities in areas like key management, compliance, accounting, and on-chain auditing. Lucien highlights Bitcoin’s role as a bearer asset—similar to gold—but with operational advantages such as greater transparency, faster settlement, and lower custody costs. He also emphasizes the unique position of the Czech Republic, which already has a mature Bitcoin ecosystem, including widespread public adoption, favorable tax policies, and a history of Bitcoin innovation. The project reflects a pragmatic, learning-by-doing approach to regulation and central banking, contrasting with the theoretical debates common in other jurisdictions. While the pilot remains small-scale, it represents a strategic move to explore Bitcoin’s potential as a non-sovereign reserve asset that offers diversification without counterparty risk. The experiment may serve as a model for other central banks considering similar steps in an evolving global monetary landscape.

Federal Reserve quietly reverses anti-crypto stance with new policy

The Federal Reserve has reversed its restrictive 2023 policy on "novel activities" and replaced it with a new framework that creates a clear pathway for banks to engage in digital-asset and blockchain innovation. Announced on 17 December, the move adopts a "same activity, same risks, same regulation" philosophy, allowing banks to pursue crypto-related services like custody, tokenization, and stablecoin integration if they demonstrate strong risk management. The policy shift enables both insured and uninsured state member banks to apply for innovative activities, benefiting crypto-focused institutions. This marks a significant regulatory pivot from discouraging crypto engagement to encouraging responsible innovation under supervision, aligning with broader U.S. efforts to integrate blockchain into mainstream finance.

Looking Back at the Web3 Wallet Undercurrents of 2025: What Are the Major Players Really Competing On?

In 2025, the Web3 wallet sector is undergoing a quiet but significant transformation, driven by major players integrating advanced technologies to enhance security, usability, and functionality. Key developments include Coinbase and Bitget adopting TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) for secure key management and transaction signing, Binance and OKX leveraging TEE with MPC (Multi-Party Computation) and smart accounts for improved security and cross-chain operations, and MetaMask and Phantom introducing social login features using encrypted key sharding for better recovery and user experience. The evolution reflects a shift from purely self-custodial models to hybrid approaches that balance security with convenience, enabling features like automated trading, gas sponsorship, and seamless multi-chain interactions. This transition is fueled by emerging trends such as Perps (perpetual contracts), RWA (real-world assets), and CeDeFi, which demand more complex transaction capabilities. While no new dominant wallets emerged, existing leaders are repositioning as comprehensive entry points for diverse on-chain activities, moving beyond basic asset storage to integrated financial services. The adoption of TEE and MPC technologies, alongside potential future integration with passkeys, indicates a maturation of wallet infrastructure, setting the stage for broader adoption and more sophisticated applications in the coming years.

Recent Regulatory Positive Developments from the U.S. SEC and OCC: What Impact Will Policy Trends Have?

The U.S. SEC has granted a no-action letter to the Depository Trust Company (DTC), allowing it to tokenize a range of high-liquidity assets—including stocks, ETFs, and U.S. Treasuries—on approved blockchains under controlled conditions. This initiative, expected to launch in late 2026, aims to bridge TradFi and DeFi, enhancing market efficiency, transparency, and accessibility. Simultaneously, the OCC has clarified that crypto-native firms seeking federal banking charters will be evaluated on equal footing with traditional institutions, emphasizing that digital asset activities, including custody services, fall within the permissible scope for national trust banks. Both moves signal a structured yet progressive U.S. regulatory approach toward integrating blockchain technology into the core financial system, potentially setting global standards for digital finance.

Conversation with Fidelity CEO: What Crypto Decisions Were Made in the Past Decade?

Fidelity CEO Abigail Johnson discusses the firm's decade-long journey into crypto, starting with curiosity-driven exploration in 2012-2013. Initial efforts included Bitcoin mining and accepting crypto donations for charity, building early credibility. Custody emerged as a key service due to client demand for secure inheritance solutions. Johnson highlights the importance of regulatory progress, like the Genius Act, and Fidelity’s push for stablecoin innovation—eventually launching tokenized money market funds for yield. She emphasizes internal culture: encouraging curiosity, rapid iteration, and calculated risk-taking. While acknowledging Bitcoin’s enduring role as a "gold standard," she sees hybrid solutions bridging traditional and crypto finance as the near-term future. The firm prioritizes building strategic capabilities in-house while remaining open to collaboration.
