At the same time, the financier stressed that the number of UBS bank clients who are interested in cryptocurrencies has sharply increased recently. Many companies and private investors use a variety of channels to enter this market.
Hamers said: “Many clients read about cryptocurrencies in newspapers. But they also observe their volatility. We recommend that you be careful with such tools.”
