Deep dives
Major US Banks Embrace Bitcoin
Several major US banks, controlling over $8.6 trillion in assets, are heavily investing in Bitcoin and related ETFs despite public skepticism. Reports indicate that banks like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are acquiring substantial stakes in Bitcoin products, including ETFs, while publicly downplaying the cryptocurrency's value. For instance, JP Morgan has disclosed holdings in BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, showcasing its investment strategy despite CEO Jamie Dimon's past criticisms labeling Bitcoin a 'fraud.' This position demonstrates a clear contradiction, highlighting that while banks caution against Bitcoin, they are actively integrating it into their financial structures.
