Over 600,000 Romanians invest in cryptocurrencies, according to Horia Gustă, president of the Association of Fund Administrators (AAF), quoted by
Economica.net
For comparison, the stock exchange counts merely 220,000 investors.
According to Horia Gustă, the primary barriers to attracting additional investors to regulated markets like BVB are the regulatory rules and insufficient financial literacy.
As traditional financial markets face extensive regulation from the European Union, cryptocurrency firms have operated with minimal oversight up until now, as he points out.
“The European market is highly regulated, making it impossible to see any advertisements for investment funds. These numerous regulations do not seem beneficial. In contrast, crypto operated without such rules and progressed significantly within just a few years,” stated the AAF president.
