е The U.S. Treasury Department in a new [report] (https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/221/CombinedChargesforArchivesQ42024.pdf) ** mentions Bitcoin, which treats it as a store of value (“digital gold”) — although much of the growth in interest so far has been attributed to speculative investments.
The regulator also says that blockchain technology is being used in the creation of new digital products and services, and contributes to the improvement of outdated financial systems, such as settlements and clearing processes, making them faster, transparent and efficient.
