The U.S. dollar remains unchallenged as the world’s primary reserve currency, with IMF data showing its share of global reserves hovering NEAR 58% despite a gradual decline from 70% in 2000.

Cryptocurrencies face existential hurdles in this landscape. Market volatility and security concerns continue to undermine their viability as reserve assets. While Bitcoin and Ethereum have gained traction as speculative instruments, their adoption for cross-border trade settlement remains negligible compared to traditional mechanisms.
