However, de Guindo also said that he would not recommend investing in this type of cryptoassets, considering that they are not serious investment alternatives according to his point of view.

Others expressed scepticism as to whether the policy of “greater capital efficiency” would serve a wider user base. Or if it would only attract the richest market makers.
