Kraken, UK trade body derides lawmaker description of crypto as ‘gambling’ By Cointelegraph

[ad_1]



Self-regulatory organization CryptoUK and crypto exchange Kraken UK has slammed a recent report from a panel of British lawmakers that suggested crypto should be regulated in a similar vein to gambling.

In a May 17 report, the Treasury Committee “strongly recommended” that unbacked crypto be regulated as gambling due to concerns over the “significant” consumer risks associated with the asset class, such as price volatility and lack of intrinsic value.
