Lagarde attacks bitcoins: “They are worth nothing. Everything is different for the digital euro”. Here are the differences

The alarm continues to sound for bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies, after the steep declines of recent times. On the one hand, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), Christine Lagarde, declared that crypto assets “are worth nothing”, calling for sector regulation and marking the difference with the digital euro under study. Meanwhile, attention is also shifting to crypto lending platforms, which allow users to borrow or lend cryptocurrencies for passive or active interest, respectively.
