Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told CNBC today that Bitcoin has been highly volatile in recent years and is a “highly speculative asset”.
In terms of regulation, the former Fed chair believes any action must be related to protecting investors. She said: "I think it's important to make sure that it is not used as a vehicle for illicit transactions and that there’s investor protection...
