    Research: Central Banks Worldwide Should Adopt Bitcoin as a Reserve Asset
    News on October 27, according to Cointelegraph, the Bitcoin Policy Institute recently published a paper titled "The Case for Bitcoin as a Reserve Asset". The paper argues that central banks around the world should adopt bitcoin as a reserve asset to hedge against rising inflation, geopolitical risks, capital control risks, sovereign defaults, bank failures and international sanctions imposed by the U.S. government. The author of the paper, economist Matthew Ferranti believes that due to the weak correlation between decentralized assets and other financial instruments, bitcoin is an "effective portfolio diversification tool". Bitcoin lacks counterparty risk and can effectively hedge against sovereign default (including financial sanction risk), which Ferranti refers to as a "selective default", affecting countries like Venezuela and Russia. Ferranti clarified that allocating bitcoin and gold may not be the answer for every central bank; however, emerging digital assets have value storage and hedging properties similar to gold - especially in cases of rapid currency depreciation.

    Top trader Eugene: The market will continue to rise after the election, bullish on Solana
    Top trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio analyzed the current market situation on social media as follows: 1. The speculative long positions in October have basically been wiped out. 2. I believe most people plan to avoid risk in the election about a week after November 5th. This catalyst just advanced the time by a few days (which is why I was defensive a few days ago.) 3. Considering everything that's happening on Solana today, since the AI memecoins craze, SOL is undoubtedly a clear asset choice. 4. From a technical analysis perspective, SOL has retested its resistance level of six months and turned it into support after showing extreme relative strength, which is where to buy in. Now that positioning is clear and prices have risen sharply, we think we can continue an upward trend after the election.
