Zvestobe Bitcoin 401(k) Ponudba tveganj za pokojninsko zavarovanje Američanov, pravi uradnik ministrstva za delo
The U.S. Labor Department has “grave concerns” about Fidelity Investments allowing investors to put bitcoin into their 401(k) accounts for retirement savings. An official of the Labor Department said it risks the retirement security of Americans, stressing that “cryptocurrencies can present serious risks to retirement savings.”
U.S. Labor Department’s ‘Grave Concerns’ Over Fidelity’s Bitcoin 401(k) Offering
The U.S. Labor Department is deeply concerned about Fidelity Investments’ new offering to allow investors to put up to 20% of their 401(k) savings and contributions into bitcoin (BTC). 401(k) je priljubljen varčevalni načrt na delovnem mestu v ZDA, ki ima davčne ugodnosti kot spodbudo za vlaganje za upokojitev.
Ali Khawar, vršilec dolžnosti pomočnika sekretarja varnostne uprave za beneficije zaposlenih na ministrstvu za delo, je v petek v intervjuju za The Wall Street Journal dejal:
Zelo smo zaskrbljeni zaradi tega, kar je storila Fidelity.
Khawar explained that Labor Department believes that Fidelity allowing savers to put bitcoin into their 401(k) accounts risks the retirement security of Americans.
The official said that he views cryptocurrency as speculative. There is “a lot of hype around ‘You have to get in now because you will be left behind otherwise,'” he opined.
Khawar je marca na spletni strani Ministrstva za delo napisal objavo v blogu, v kateri je izrazil zaskrbljenost glede pokojninskih načrtov, ki vlagajo v kriptovalute. Podrobno je opisal:
Ameriško ministrstvo za delo je resno zaskrbljeno zaradi odločitev načrtov za izpostavljanje udeležencev neposrednim naložbam v kriptovalute ali sorodne izdelke, kot so NFT, kovanci in kriptovalute.
Pojasnil je, da lahko "kriptovalute predstavljajo resna tveganja za prihranke pri upokojitvi", pri čemer je navedel izzive vrednotenja, nestanovitnost cen in razvijajočo se regulativno okolje.
