The Wall Street Journal has warned that the virtual currency "Petcone" may see a sudden collapse that has implications for investors in the technology and financial sectors.
KFHW is an electronic currency with no physical alternative, which is traded online only, and there is no central regulator behind it, but it can be used like any other currency to buy online.
Digital currencies are being used to transfer money at a lower cost, and activity has grown considerably in recent years with expectations that the same trend will continue in the future.
The newspaper has become a big investor dealing in the currency of "Petkwin", and the bank, "Goldman Sachs" himself intends to start dealing in the currency.
A number of companies are now using the virtual currency to boost their capital, but the sector is not immune to risk, experts say.
"Any product that makes a quick jump," says the US financial intermediary, "Td Ameer Trade," says, "must do the damage."
He adds that financial companies that bet on the virtual currency in their business, who invested significant potential in the Betquin, may become the first to suffer those collateral damage, he says.
Market watchers worry that the value of PeteCwin has rocketed in less than six months, from about $ 1,000 to $ 5,000.
As early as 2016, it was below $ 400, which boosted its 18-month gains by 1,000 percent.
Today, the Pitcairn has fallen to about $ 4,400.
