Regulatory crackdowns could pop bubble-like crypto markets and mean bitcoin is unsuitable for professional investors, Swiss banking giant UBS has warned its clients.
In a note sent out last week, UBS’ global wealth management team said China’s latest crackdown had hurt crypto prices and operators. It also said there were signs that tougher rules could be in the pipeline in Western markets such as the US and UK.
“Regulators have demonstrated they can and will crack down on crypto,” the note read. “So we suggest investors stay clear, and build their portfolio around less risky assets.”
