DIGITAL assets are no longer a niche topic; they are becoming part of how governments and businesses think about managing money.
Bitcoin has been one of the best performing assets in recent years, and the wider crypto market is continuing to grow. Therefore, the obvious question is: Why aren’t governments getting involved sooner?
The short answer is risk.
Crypto can be volatile, especially in the short term, and governments don’t tend to move quickly when uncertainty is involved.
Add in political cycles and a natural tendency to play it safe, and it’s easy to see why decisions get delayed. In Jersey, that cautious approach has helped build a strong and trusted financial centre, but it has also meant opportunities have taken longer to grasp.
That said, doing nothing carries its own risk.
There is opportunity here. Moneybrain’s BiPS token, for example, delivered an average annual return of 7.56% in 2025. That is a tangible return that outbeats many traditional investments and from a company with skin in the Jersey PLC game.
It’s not about replacing traditional investments, but it does show what can be achieved when digital assets are used sensibly as part of a wider strategy.
Of course, crypto isn’t without its challenges. Prices move more than traditional assets. But the answer isn’t to ignore it.
The sensible approach sits somewhere in the middle: a measured allocation across a basket of digital assets, properly managed, with the right oversight and safeguards in place.
Jersey has always adapted to changes in finance. Digital assets are simply the next step. The real question is whether we choose to take part in a balanced, considered way, or watch others move ahead.
