Advisers call cryptocurrency speculative and lacking intrinsic value.

The UK’s largest retail investment platform has warned customers against including Bitcoin in their portfolios, arguing that the cryptocurrency does not qualify as a legitimate asset class.

Executives said Bitcoin’s volatility and absence of intrinsic value make it unsuitable for long-term investment strategies.

The caution comes as digital assets face renewed global regulatory pressure and market uncertainty.
