Cryptocurrency Crash could Spark the Next Market Meltdown, warns Bank of England Deputy
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could cause the next financial crash, according to a top Bank of England official.
In a speech yesterday, deputy governor Sir Jon Cunliffe said a massive collapse in the price of cryptocurrencies to as low as zero is 'certainly a plausible scenario' and that there was 'a possibility of contagion' across the global financial sector.
Cunliffe said the hit to individual investors if cryptocurrencies collapse would be unlikely to cause a 'financial stability risk'. But he added: 'The picture is less clear for financial institutions.'
