Deep dives
JP Morgan's Shift Towards Bitcoin
The surprising pivot of JP Morgan towards Bitcoin has garnered significant attention, especially considering the firm's historical skepticism. Particularly, Jamie Dimon, the CEO, has vocally disparaged Bitcoin in the past, even claiming he would fire employees caught trading it. However, recent reports indicate that the bank's analysts now expect both Bitcoin and gold to perform well in the wake of Trump's election victory. Furthermore, they suggest that Bitcoin is benefiting from macroeconomic conditions, including the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. dollar, aligning with a broader trend of institutional interest in cryptocurrency.
