This is just the latest episode of Warren’s ongoing war with the larger crypto industry. Earlier in July, Warren sent a letter to US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen petitioning for greater oversight of the crypto industry. “The hype, the volatility, the wild claims that turn out to be false. As the crypto market grows, so do the risks to our financial stability and our economy,” Warren wrote.
Meanwhile, billionaire Ray Dalio revealed that he owns ether and called cryptocurrencies “impressive” in a recent interview. The founder and co-CIO of the world's biggest hedge fund Bridgewater Associates told Yahoo Finance that he is a huge advocate of diversification, and cryptocurrencies make up "a relatively small part" of his portfolio.
"I view it as an alternative money in an environment where the value of cash money is depreciating in real terms," Dalio said.
