Cryptocurrencies are not currencies, commodities or securities,” Munger said in an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal on Thursday. “Instead, it`s a gambling contract with a nearly 100% edge for the house, entered into in a country where gambling contracts are traditionally regulated only by states that compete in laxity,” Munger said. “Obviously the United States needs to enact new federal legislation to prevent this.

The price of bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, has dropped 65% in 2022 and it has rebounded around 40% to trade around $23,824, according to Coin Metrics.
