New Zealand Plans to Include Digital Currency in 2026 Financial Education Curriculum

2025.11.24 10:58:37

On November 24th, as reported by Cryptopolitan, New Zealand's Minister of Education, Erica Stanford, announced that commencing from 2026, New Zealand will incorporate mandatory financial literacy courses into the national curriculum. This course is intended for students from Grades 1 to 10 and is scheduled to be implemented nationwide in 2027. The curriculum will encompass understanding the modern payment system, including digital assets, and tracking market indicators such as token prices. This represents a crucial step in cultivating a generation with comprehensive financial awareness in a digital economy environment. The new curriculum will gradually enhance students' financial capabilities. Students in Grades 1 to 5 will learn the fundamentals of earning, spending, saving, and acquire skills in bank account management. Students in Grades 6 to 10 will be exposed to more complex topics such as investments, interest, taxation, and insurance. The New Zealand Ministry of Education will collaborate with the Retirement Commission and other financial education institutions to provide relevant educational support. It is reported that modern financial literacy education will also cover digital assets and blockchain technology, as they are transforming the global payment system.

The bars represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to neighboring clusters (i.e., "intensity"). In short, the chart shows how impactful hitting a specific price level will be: a taller bar means that price level will trigger a more intense reaction due to a liquidity cascade.

Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has been in a negative premium for 26 consecutive days, currently at -0.0514%.

As of February 10, Coinglass data shows the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has stayed in negative territory for 26 straight days, currently at -0.0514%. Since the start of 2024, it has only posted a positive premium on 2 days. Note from BlockBeats: The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index measures the gap between Bitcoin’s price on Coinbase (a leading U.S. exchange) and the global market average. It’s a key gauge for tracking U.S. capital inflows, institutional investment interest, and shifts in market sentiment. A positive premium means Coinbase’s Bitcoin price is above the global average—typically signaling strong U.S. buying pressure, active entry by institutions or compliant funds, ample USD liquidity, and modestly bullish investor sentiment. A negative premium, by contrast, indicates Coinbase’s price is below the global average, often reflecting heavy U.S. selling pressure, reduced investor risk appetite, rising market risk aversion, or capital outflows.
