Glede na poročilo Coindesk.

Čeprav banka ni potrdila ničesar o novem izdelku za kriptovalute, je publikacija, osredotočena na kripto, navedla dva anonimna vira za potrditev poročila.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon remained one of the harsh critics of Bitcoin. He even compared the digital currency to the Dutch tulip bulb bubble and called it a ‘fraud’. Though his stance towards Bitcoin did not change, he indicated that his bank’s clients are surely interested in investing in crypto.

Naraščajoč institucionalni interes

The rumors of the Wall Street giant’s intentions to launch an active fund were first floated in April. Moreover, Dimon-led bank’s pivot into Bitcoin clearly shows the increased institutional interest in Bitcoin.

According to the latest report, the banking giant has launched the fund in partnership with NYDIG, which will play its role as a Bitcoin custodian. The bank intimated advisors about the fund on Wednesday on a launch call but did not receive any investors as of yet.

JPMorgan is likely to push the fund as the safest and cheapest Bitcoin investment vehicle to its private clients. Additionally, the in-house fund would help the bank if it decides to enter the Bitcoin exchange-traded fund after the regulatory hurdles clear, one of the sources said.

While JPMorgan is entering the place, its competitors have already had prominent kripto izpostavljenost. Morgan Stanley and Fidelity are only a few traditional financial players already offering Bitcoin investment products to their clients.
