欧洲央行行长克里斯蒂娜拉加德警告说，加密货币毫无价值，应该受到监管。
这位欧洲央行行长认为，对该行业进行监管将防止人们将毕生积蓄押在加密货币上。
“我极其谦虚的看法是，加密货币一文不值。它没有任何基础，也没有基础资产作为安全锚，”她说。
拉加德继续说道，“我一直表示，这些类型的资产具有高度投机性和极高的风险。”
拉加德在荷兰电视台表示，她担心那些不了解风险的人，“谁会失去一切”，谁会对数字资产感到非常失望。

拉加德说她的儿子投资了加密货币 (InBitcoinWeTrust)。
拉加德是在比特币市场充满挑战的时期发表上述言论的，当时比特币和以太币等主要代币的价值已从 2017 年的峰值下跌了一半。
加密货币也受到全球监管机构越来越严格的审查和压力，他们经常指出对金融系统构成威胁。
其他欧洲央行官员表示怀疑。其中包括欧洲央行执行委员会成员法比奥帕内塔。 4 月，他表示加密资产正在“创造一个新的狂野西部”，并将其与 2008 年的次级抵押贷款灾难进行比较。
拉加德指出 她从未投资过数字货币，考虑到其他银行和金融专家也持相同观点，这一说法并不令人意外。
然而，这位金融大师表示，她的儿子投资了加密货币，但惨遭失败。

在谴责比特币和其他相关货币的同时，拉加德表示她将支持建立数字欧元，即欧盟的中央银行数字货币（CBDC），因为它将得到欧洲央行的支持。
“当我们拥有央行数字货币——任何数字欧元——的那一天，我会保证，”拉加德说。 “所以中央银行将支持它。我认为这与那些事情大不相同。”

最近，帕内塔表示，数字欧元可能会在 2026 年实施，为其引入设定了时间表。该项目目前处于审查阶段，由于欧洲央行正在加强与利益相关者的接触，实施阶段可能要到 2023 年底才能开始。
