The governor of the Central Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, warned crypto investors of the dangers of participating in the market. Speaking at the conference on Thursday, Bailey balked at the notion of cryptocurrencies.
In addition, he stated that crypto assets were a more suitable vocabulary for describing digital currencies. He also emphasized that Crypto has no intrinsic value. Crypto miners named him as “anti-crypto rhetoric”.
Moreover, the governor’s remarks bear a close resemblance to the statements issued by the United Kingdom’s financial conduct authority.
According to the Cointelegraph’s previous report, the FCA warned the British public regarding the risk of incurring huge losses from the Crypto investments bank in January.
