Vanguard Executive Labels Bitcoin as Speculative Collectible, Cautious Stance on Cryptocurrency ETFs

Bitcoin Described as 'Digital Labub'

Speaking at an ETF-related conference in New York, Ameriks highlighted that Bitcoin lacks asset characteristics such as profitability, compound interest effects, and cash flow.
