Susanna Streeter, Senior Market and Investment Analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown previously explained the risks to i.
"In addition to being highly volatile, most cryptocurrencies are unregulated, which not only adds another layer of uncertainty, but also means that investors have little to no protection against fraud," she said.
