What is known about JPMorgan? It is one of the largest American financial holdings. Its core businesses include investments, commercial banking, asset management, and transaction processing. The holding company uses a blockchain called Link to exchange information between banks and its own JPM Coin asset to move tokenized US dollar deposits.
What events happened before? In April, JPMorgan Chase & Co CEO Jamie Dimon acknowledged that blockchain and decentralized finance (DeFi)can improve various aspects of banking. He added that there are currently many areas where blockchain can replace or improve contract execution and data ownership, but for some purposes, it is often too expensive and slow to use. Despite this, Dimon called decentralized finance and blockchain “are real, new technologies that can be deployed in both public and private fashion, permissioned or not.”
On May 26, analysts at JPMorgan stated that bitcoin’s fair price is at $38 000 and noted the potential for further growth in the value of the asset and the cryptocurrency market as a whole.
