Investment in encryption should still be dealt with very carefully, given its volatility.

Bennington, CEO of Edward Jones, told me the Podcasts of Yahoo Finance’s opening presentation (listen below): “I don’t see Crypto as a description.”

“There is no basic value behind Crypto – however, it has become an innovation in our market associated with Blockchain innovations. This is a very real thing and will have a positive impact on our industry and investors.”

Pennington said Edward Jones continues to consider ways to participate in the growing encryption space, provided that this is logical to its customers in building wealth. But he is currently not offering encryption products and does not hurry to market.

To the Pennington point, the regeneration of encryption fluctuations may have some question about its position as a real origin – especially as a diversification tool inside a wallet.

Bitcoin price increased by 24 % since it reached the highest level at all at a stage exceeding $ 109,000 in early December, where investors digested increasing fears of recession and customs tariffs Trump.

Bitcoin decreased by 13 % last month.

Bitcoin ETF external flows have risen about $ 750 million in the past two days amid pressure on prices, according to Crypto’s publication in Crypto. According to Blackrock (BLK), the largest source of Bitcoin Etfs, about 2000 Bitcoins over the past 24 hours.

The sharp decline extended to other encrypted currencies, such as Dogecoin and Ethereum. Coinbase (Coin) and Robinhood (Hood) also threw a lot of value this month.

Coinbase has now decreased by 21 % on the year, while Robinhood clings to a modest gain.

Now, many of our customers say, as you know, I want to be part of what is happening [in crypto]. I want to understand this better. This does not mean that you need to invest in it. But better understanding it is very smart. It will be with us, it will be part of our financial system, I think. “This root will be for innovation associated with things that will become more prevalent over time,” Pennington said.
