Summary
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon continues to express his opposition to Bitcoin.
Key Points:
- Jamie Dimon stated that Bitcoin's primary uses include sex trafficking, money laundering, and ransomware.
- Unlike BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who changed his stance on Bitcoin, Dimon remains critical despite the increasing adoption of Bitcoin as a financial asset.
In his interview with CBS News, Dimon emphasized that "Bitcoin itself has no intrinsic value. It’s used heavily by sex traffickers, money launderers, and ransomware users. So I just don’t feel great about Bitcoin."
Translation: Bitcoin, according to Dimon, lacks inherent worth.
JPMorgan recently revamped its blockchain platform to Kinexys to enhance real-world tokenization capabilities, aiming to offer foreign exchange services on-chain in early 2025.
