Germany’s AfD has proposed classifying Bitcoin as a strategic asset, directly challenging the European Union’s MiCA regulations. This initiative aims to enhance digital sovereignty and promote financial innovation within the nation. The AfD positions Bitcoin as a means to bolster Germany’s economic independence in the face of evolving regulatory frameworks. By advocating for this designation, the AfD seeks to influence the broader conversation around cryptocurrency’s role in Europe and its potential benefits for national interests. The proposal reflects a growing sentiment among some political factions in Germany advocating for a more favorable approach to digital currencies.
