One of the largest banks in the United States, JPMorgan Chase, has announced that it will allow its clients to buy Bitcoin. The bank’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, made the statement during the company’s annual Investor Day event, saying:
“We will let you buy Bitcoin.”
However, JPMorgan will not offer any custody services for the Bitcoin purchases. According to Dimon, these transactions will only be reflected in client statements, without the bank managing or holding the assets directly.
A Surprising Shift from a Bitcoin Critic
This move is particularly noteworthy given CEO Jamie Dimon’s historically critical stance toward the cryptocurrency market. The decision is being viewed as a significant step in the financial world, highlighting how Bitcoin is increasingly being accepted within the mainstream financial system.
Previously, Morgan Stanley had taken a similar step by allowing some of its financial advisors to offer spot Bitcoin ETFs to eligible clients starting in August.
