**Germany’s AfD Pushes for Bitcoin Deregulation, Euro Exit, and Gold-Backed Currency**

With elections on February 23, Germany’s far-right AfD is proposing radical financial changes, including Bitcoin deregulation, exiting the Eurozone, and reviving the Deutsche Mark backed by gold. They oppose the digital euro, EU-wide deposit guarantees, and wealth taxes, aiming to cut regulations and boost financial privacy.

Meanwhile, major parties push contrasting agendas:

- **SPD (Scholz’s party):** Higher taxes on the wealthy, financial transaction tax.

- **CDU/CSU (Merz’s bloc):** Tax incentives for startups, stronger capital markets, and support for a digital euro.

- **Greens:** Sustainability-focused finance, stricter regulations, and transparency reforms.

- **FDP:** Lower taxes, fewer regulations, but struggling in the polls.

Germany’s financial future is at a crossroads, with competing visions shaping the debate.
