Switzerland’s largest bank, UBS, has published guidance for clients about investing in bitcoin. The bank answers some important questions, such as whether one should buy bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and whether bitcoin can be used to diversify portfolios.

‘Should I buy’ Bitcoin? UBS Answers
UBS published a detailed report about bitcoin last week. It answers some questions that the bank is currently discussing with its clients, explained the report authors, including the firm’s chief investment officer of global emerging markets, Michael Bolliger. UBS Group is currently Switzerland’s largest bank by total assets, followed by Credit Suisse Group.

The first question UBS answered in its report entitled “The rise of bitcoin” was “Should I buy?” The report explains that “Many clients are asking whether they should invest in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” adding:

Our general guidance is this: While we wouldn’t rule out further price increases, we’re somewhat skeptical of any essential real-world use cases, which makes it hard to estimate a fair value for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

“We are also cognizant of the real risk of one losing one’s entire investment. Investors in cryptocurrencies must therefore limit the size of their investments to an amount they can afford to lose. We also suggest thinking about an exit strategy,” the report authors elaborated.

  Bitcoin and altcoins are likely to remain range-bound in the short-term as the bulls and the bears attempt to assert their dominance. 13677 69 0:00 Price analysis 8/26: BTC, ETH, XRP, LINK, BCH, LTC, BSV, CRO, BNB, ADA PRICE ANALYSIS On Thursday, U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell is expected to deliver an important speech that will highlight a new strategy of targeting “average inflation.” This means that the Fed might allow inflation to overshoot the 2% target temporarily if it has spent a long time below that level. If the Fed adopts this new strategy, it could keep interest rates near zero for five years or more, according to a Bloomberg report. The abundant liquidity is likely to drive asset prices higher across the board and create bubbles that will eventually burst. If this occurs, investors are likely to lose complete faith in the central banks and fiat currencies. Daily cryptocurrency market performance. Source: Coin360 Daily cryptocurrency market performance.
