JPMorgan Caves to Crypto Demand—Dimon Greenlights Bitcoin for Clients
Wall Street’s love-hate tango with Bitcoin takes another turn. Jamie Dimon—the same CEO who once called crypto ’a fraud’—just flipped the script. JPMorgan will now let clients buy Bitcoin through its wealth management arm. Talk about a regulated U-turn.
Behind the scenes: Institutional FOMO is real. Even the most skeptical banks can’t ignore the flood of client requests (or those juicy custody fees). The move follows Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley dipping toes in crypto waters.
The fine print: Don’t expect wild west trading. JPMorgan’s offering will likely mirror competitors—heavily vetted access, limited allocations, and enough compliance paperwork to bury a blockchain. Because nothing says ’decentralization’ like a 75-page risk disclosure form.
Closing thought: When the world’s most systemically important bank starts playing with Satoshi’s invention, ask yourself—is this mainstream adoption or just Wall Street’s latest revenue patch for when yield farming dries up?
