Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has stated that Bitcoin is not a threat to the US dollar and refers to it as an 'interesting speculative asset.' During an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he reaffirmed his strong belief in the US dollar and highlighted the underlying technology of Bitcoin as valuable for banks, which is under significant research at Goldman Sachs. Solomon pointed out that the current regulatory environment poses limitations on banks' involvement with Bitcoin, stating that they cannot own or engage with it directly. However, he indicated that discussions could follow if regulatory changes occur. Solomon's perspective aligns with opinions from others in the industry, emphasizing that for the US dollar to maintain its status as the world’s reserve currency, stablecoins must proliferate and provide access to dollars globally. As of late January 2025, the US Dollar Index has shown slight growth, while Bitcoin has seen a rise in its trading value.
