Taiwan's central bank is set to formally evaluate the inclusion of Bitcoin in its strategic reserves, marking a potential shift in its financial strategy. This move could position Taiwan among the growing list of nations considering Bitcoin as a reserve asset, reflecting increasing institutional interest in cryptocurrencies. In a parallel development, Sony has launched Soneium, a new Ethereum Layer 2 "super app" designed to connect users with decentralized finance (DeFi) services. This app aims to enhance user access to DeFi, leveraging Ethereum's scalability improvements to offer a seamless experience. These developments highlight the expanding integration of blockchain technology in both national financial strategies and consumer applications.
