(PR News) The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has said that digital assets carry high risk and therefore advised investors looking for long-term portfolios such as pension funds to avoid them while regulations are being reviewed to allow mutual funds and provident funds to invest in digital assets.

The Royal Gazette website on Sunday published an announcement from the Ministry of Finance allowing employees and employers to suspend or postpone contributing to the provident fund due to financial crisis, public disasters or events that affect the economic situation.
