Bank of America doesn't rate Bitcoin very much
Bitcoin is the first and leading cryptocurrency in the world. For this reason, it is attributed as the pioneer of the digital currency market. Cryptocurrencies have changed the global financial landscape, making transactions faster, easier, and cheaper for people worldwide.Ethereum has always been the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, but many argue that its blockchain is perhaps the most useful in the crypto space. Bank of America agrees with this point.
According to the Bank of America, Bitcoin is the most talked-about cryptocurrency, but Ethereum's blockchain provides more features and flexibility. Its hosting of decentralized financial (DeFi) platforms makes it a more important blockchain compared to Bitcoin.
The bank revealed this in a report it published yesterday called "Bitcoin's Dirty Little Secrets." Bank of America said there is no good reason for anyone to own Bitcoin unless they see the price going up.
The bank had more to say about the leading cryptocurrency, stating that "Bitcoin has also become correlated to risk assets, it is not tied to inflation, and remains exceptionally volatile, making it impractical as a store of wealth or payments mechanism. As such, the main portfolio argument for holding Bitcoin is not diversification, stable returns, or inflation protection, but rather a sheer price appreciation, a factor that depends on Bitcoin demand outpacing supply."
DeFi could change the global financial system more than Bitcoin
The Bank of America said central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are kryptonite for cryptocurrencies. However, it is intrigued by DeFi, adding that decentralized finance could be more disruptive than Bitcoin.It predicts that DeFi could cause a radical change in the mainstream capital markets. However, with the DeFi market still at $35 billion, it has a long way to go to challenge the traditional financial system.
The traditional financial system thrives on credit creation, and DeFi doesn't offer anything like that at the moment, the report added. "DeFi has seen a lot of innovation among exchanges. The key factor here is that with distributed ledger [technology], many of the functions, which are separate in fiat trading, are conducted on-chain," the bank added.
The DeFi sector has experienced massive growth over the past year, and it could continue to grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
