US bank JPMorgan will allow clients to buy bitcoins

The head of the largest US bank JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, announced that the financial institution intends to offer its clients the opportunity to buy Bitcoin, although he himself still treats cryptocurrencies with distrust. He said this at an annual meeting with investors.

"We'll let you buy it. We won't hold it," Dimon said, noting that information about the transactions will appear on clients' statements as part of their investment portfolio.

According to CNBC, JPMorgan is considering providing access to a Bitcoin ETF rather than the spot market. This would be a significant step for the bank: JPMorgan has previously limited access to digital assets to futures products, avoiding direct exposure to tokens. Now, the bank is planning to integrate crypto assets into its clients’ wealth management systems, especially for those who insist on participating in the market.

Some analysts believe that the inclusion of the ETF in the JPMorgan ecosystem could be a signal to other banks to start adding cryptocurrencies to their offerings. However, others point out that the storage limitation indicates that the bank does not see BTC as a long-term financial opportunity.

Earlier, JPMorgan analysts predicted a steady growth of Bitcoin in the second half of 2025.
