The top banking watchdog in Europe has issued a strong warning about the
risks of Bitcoin and may consider regulating virtual currencies as
their global popularity grows.
In a report out Friday the European
Banking Authority warned consumers that any investment in Bitcoin could
become worthless, cautioning that digital currencies are completely
unregulated, leaving people unprotected if they trade on platforms that
crash or go out of business.
It comes as heavyweight investors,
tech gurus and everyday consumers clamor to boost their bitcoin holdings
on the hope it will one day become a legitimate global currency.
The
crypto-currency has soared in value this year -- from roughly $13 in
January to peak above $1,200 -- and traded at $921 on the Mt.Gox
exchange on Friday. The currency is prone to severe price volatility.

Bitcoin
gained another high-profile backer this week in prominent Silicon
Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. The company is
investing roughly $20 million into Coinbase, which provides "wallets"
for the digital currency, allowing users to buy, sell and use bitcoins.
But the EBA report warned that these kinds of "digital wallets" are at risk of being hacked, leaving investors with nothing.

The
program behind Bitcoin was created anonymously in 2009. Unlike
traditional money, bitcoins are not managed by a central authority.
Last week China's central bank issued new rules prohibiting financial institutions from dealing in bitcoins.
But
Bitcoin has received a measure of support from officials at the Federal
Reserve, including chairman Ben Bernanke, who said the currency "may
hold long-term promise" as part of the international payment system. To
