PANews reported on January 1 that according to Cryptopolitan, the Syrian Economic Research Center has proposed a plan urging the transitional government to adopt Bitcoin and other digital assets to combat inflation, stabilize the economy and attract global investment. The plan comes as the country faces huge reconstruction challenges after decades of war and financial disasters. The proposal focuses on using Bitcoin as a lifeline for Syrian citizens and their shaky financial system. It recommends establishing a regulatory framework to legalize the use of Bitcoin in trading, mining and financial transactions.
