The SEC just warned investors that crypto assets are at risk of 'significant' losses after $2 trillion in market value was already erased

• The SEC warned that cryptocurrencies could still spur significant losses for investors.
• The warnings comes more than a year after the cryptocurrency market erased $2 trillion in market value.
• "The only money you should put at risk with any speculative investment is money you can afford to lose entirely," the SEC warned.

Long after a brutal bear market kicked off in cryptocurrencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission is warning investors that cryptocurrency investors are exposed to extreme risks that could ultimately lead to significant losses.
