CEO of the $2.6 Trillion AUM Company UBS, calls crypto an ‘untested asset category’
Ralph Hamers, CEO of UBS, has spoken in favor of cryptocurrency; referring to it as an ‘asset’. UBS Wealth Management, a Swiss multinational investment bank, and financial services company have over $2.6 trillion in total assets under its management. With the recent off-the-charts success of UBS, a comment in favor of crypto from the CEO comes at a crucial time when there is an evidently expanding global crypto decline.
“We feel that crypto itself is still an untested asset category,” UBS CEO Ralph Hamers, told Bloomberg.

Hamers has no FOMO of Bearish Crypto
However, Hamers stated that UBS is not feeling left out currently looking at the bear run of the crypto market. Even if Hamers believe that crypto is a potential asset, his statement of feeling secure not being part of the currently declining market signifies that the likes of UBS are in no hurry to jump on the crypto bandwagon, unlike many others.
“I never have FOMO. I am determined as to what I want to do…you hears things about maybe this or maybe that? But, I have really learned as my 8 years as CEO is that what is important is that, this is the story; this is what we are known for; this is what we do for our clients, and that’s what we have to continue.”, Hamers replied when asked about the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) from the crypto market during the present.
