Luxembourg has chosen only Bitcoin for its Intergenerational Sovereign Wealth Fund of Luxembourg (FSIL) and does not intend to diversify.<\/p>\n
The nation has already allocated 1% of its assets, which is about \u20ac7 million, to Bitcoin<\/a>. Speaking at the Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025<\/a>, Luxembourg\u2019s Finance Minister Gilles Roth stressed that the nation is keen to be among the first to adopt BTC through its Sovereign Wealth Fund.<\/p>\n \u201cBitcoin will help shape the future of finance: secure, open and competitive,\u201d the minister wrote on X.<\/p>\n Minister Roth explicitly noted that though the fund\u2019s investment policy allows for an allocation in any crypto asset, \u201cit has chosen to invest only in Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBecause, as Michel Saylor once said, there is no second best\u2026 and we\u2019re in it for the long haul,\u201d he noted, followed by an instant applause across the room.<\/p>\n The minister closed his speech with a clear policy stance, emphasizing that the nation plans to hold the crypto.<\/p>\n \u201cLet me be clear: Luxembourg HODLs. We are still very early. I am sure we will still soon follow our lead.\u201d<\/p>\n Luxembourg, being one of the world\u2019s largest cross-border investment hub, manages over \u20ac7.6 trillion in funds. \u201cIn recent years, a whole range of cross-border fintech companies have set up in Luxembourg,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n These companies serve as payment gateways, tokenization platforms and regulatory platforms for clients across the globe, Roth added.<\/p>\n In June, crypto exchange Coinbase won a European Union Markets in Crypto Assets license (MiCA) from Luxembourg to offer crypto services across the European Union. However, the exchange\u2019s intended operations in Luxembourg would be relatively less, as reported earlier<\/a>.<\/p>\n Surprisingly, Luxembourg labelled crypto firms as \u201chigh-risk\u201d entities<\/a> for money laundering in its 2025 risk report. The study highlighted how Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) often operate in decentralized environments, complicating oversight.<\/p>\n \u201cOver the past decade, we have built a trusty tone for Bitcoin and digital assets,\u201d Gilles Roth said. In fact, the nation regulated the very first European crypto exchange, Bitstamp, nearly a decade ago.<\/p>\n Luxembourg supports the industry \u201cto make crypto a trusted asset class. We are convinced that the future of finance is digital,\u201d he added, referring to Bitcoin as \u201cdigital gold.\u201d<\/p>\n Read original story Luxembourg Sovereign Wealth Fund Chose Only Bitcoin, \u2018There\u2019s No Second Best\u2019: Finance Minister<\/a> by Sujha Sundararajan<\/a> at Cryptonews.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luxembourg has chosen only Bitcoin for its Intergenerational Sovereign Wealth Fund of Luxembourg (FSIL) and does not intend…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1677,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[464,132,5,134],"class_list":["post-1676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-luxembourg","tag-finance-minister","tag-gilles-roth","tag-luxembourg","tag-sovereign-wealth-fund"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/lu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/lu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/lu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/lu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/lu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/lu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/lu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/lu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/lu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/lu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
