Matthew Sigel added that with the increasing demand for neutral payment channels to avoid US dollar sanctions, the sovereign adoption of Bitcoin is accelerating this year. He predicts that under the background of de dollarization, Bitcoin's share in global international trade settlements will reach 10%, and it will push central banks to settle 2.5% of their assets in Bitcoin, ultimately making Bitcoin one of the world's reserve currencies.
