Crypto Isn’t Good For Retirement Investment: US Treasury Secretary; Bitcoin Falls

Crypto Isn’t Good For Retirement Investment: US Treasury Secretary; Bitcoin Falls
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


People should not rely on investing in cryptocurrencies as part of their retirement strategy, Janet Yellen, an American economist and the 78th US Secretary of Treasury, has said. According to her, the asset class is “very dangerous”, and Congress should warn the general public about the danger, according to CryptoPotato.com.

Yellen has warned people against adding digital assets to their retirement plans. She said that cryptocurrency is “a very risky investment”, adding that Congress should explain which assets can be added to retirement options, such as 401(k) plans.

Incidentally, Fidelity Investments, which is considered among the world’s top asset managers, had said in April that investors would be able to add Bitcoin to their retirement 401(k) plans. 

Yellen’s views on crypto are extremely conservative. Last year, she had spoken out against the Bitcoin sector on multiple occasions. Two years ago, she had said that Bitcoin and other altcoins might have some benefits for the US financial system, but they could also be used for terrorist funding and money laundering. Yellen soon branded BTC as a highly speculative asset, and inefficient for transactions.

In other news, Crypto.com is laying off a good chunk of its workforce, according to sources with knowledge privy to the matter. The cuts are the latest begrudging reaction to a beaten-up digital assets market stuck in the doldrums. 

Efforts by liquidity providers to diversify revenue streams away from spreads on trading fees have yet to bear fruit. One source said that cryptocurrency exchanges have become “entirely dependent on trading fees”. The industry’s struggles come at a time when institutional investors are increasingly taking digital assets seriously. Crypto.com signed Lebron James as the face of its advertising efforts, capping off a $1 billion push.

Crypto Prices

The price of Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency market fell by 3.69 per cent in the last 24 hours, and it was trading at $28,888.48 at 4:45 pm IST. According to Coinmarketcap.com, its dominance in the crypto market is currently at 47.11 per cent, up by 0.61 per cent in the last 24 hours.

Solana (SOL) was down by 8.96 per cent to $35.86, while Cardano (ADA) was down by 4.99 per cent to $0.5815.
