Dimon, head of the largest U.S. bank, asserted that the only true use case for cryptocurrencies is by criminals, including those involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, and tax avoidance. He went on to suggest that if he were the government, he would shut down cryptocurrencies.
The CEOs of several major banks, including JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, agreed that crypto companies should be subjected to the same anti-money laundering regulations as traditional financial institutions. This stance was reiterated during questioning by Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Despite JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon’s critical views on cryptocurrencies, it’s worth noting that JPMorgan is actively involved in blockchain technology. The recent move by JPMorgan’s British retail bank, Chase, to ban crypto transactions starting on October 16 due to concerns about fraud and scams was also highlighted.
Notably, JPMorgan’s Chase retail bank has gained over 1.6 million customers since launching its mobile app-based service in Britain two years ago, with plans to expand the consumer bank to other international markets in the future.
This development makes Chase the latest UK lender to impose restrictions on customers’ access to crypto, aligning with broader industry concerns about the use of digital currencies in online scams orchestrated by criminals. Despite the critical stance on cryptocurrencies, JPMorgan remains actively engaged in the evolving landscape of blockchain technology.
