The United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS) has recently issued a warning that cryptocurrency trading addiction has become a growing public health problem in the country.
The problem, which is mainly driven by the unregulated crypto market attracting young investors, has led to a rapid increase in the number of cases in specialist clinics.
NHS calls for legislative intervention
Speaking at ConfedExpo in Manchester, NHS chief Amanda Pritchard stressed the need for intervention, urging lawmakers to act to tackle the problem at its source rather than leaving the NHS to "pick up the pieces" after it has happened.
