Abstract

The exponential rise and volatility in the price of Bitcoin has heightened investor interest in cryptocurrencies and crypto assets. These assets have attracted a growing number of investors but also have been used to facilitate a wide range of illicit activities. In some cases, legitimate participants in crypto asset markets have incurred substantial losses. In response, the Financial Economists Roundtable discussed the potential benefits and risks associated with crypto asset markets and agreed that financial regulators need to be more proactive in addressing abusive activities. Viewpoint is an occasional feature of the Financial Analysts Journal. This piece was not subjected to the peer-review process. It reflects the views of the authors and does not represent the official views of the Financial Analysts Journal or CFA Institute.
