Pictet: Crypto is Still Not for Private Banking
Cryptocurrency is massive and its fame is significant all over the world, but a Swiss-based bank and financial institution called the Pictet Group claimed that digital coins are not yet for private banking.
It further expanded that the blockchain is not yet in a good place, particularly talking about its stability and volatility in the current market that the public also experiences now.
Nevertheless, Pictet said that crypto assets are strong and promising for the future, something that is beneficial as an assets class in the coming times. Its volatility is the most significant issue here as there is a massive curve on its growth for the past two years, but it also demonstrated a crash that topples what it built in the current industry.
