Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said at the New York Times DealBook Summit that Bitcoin is more of a speculative asset, similar to gold, but in a virtual and digital form. He pointed out that Bitcoin is not a competitor to the US dollar, but a competitor to gold, and it is not yet widely used as a payment method, and its price is highly volatile.

When asked if he would hold cryptocurrencies, Powell said he was not allowed to because of his status.
