CEO Trashes Crypto – Again

In a fiery declaration that reverberated through the financial landscape, JPMorgan Chase’s formidable CEO, Jamie Dimon, once again launched a verbal assault on crypto.

Dimon, well-known for speaking his mind, straightforwardly called for a complete ban on digital currencies, linking them to criminal activities without holding back.

The CEO didn’t mince words at a Senate hearing alongside seven other big bank bosses:

“If I was the government, I’d close it down.”

In response to a question from Senator Elizabeth Warren, he stated that he was adamantly against all forms of crypto, including bitcoin.

Dimon expressed worries that terrorists, drug dealers, and rogue states would use them as a means of finance and declared he would shut it down if he were in charge.

Even though Dimon’s bank is deeply engaged in blockchain—the technology that powers the $1.6 trillion cryptocurrency industry—his comments are the most recent assault against the industry.

Dimon Bashes Crypto

In earlier remarks, Dimon referred to bitcoin as “a hyped-up scam,” a term he subsequently withdrew. In addition, he had compared it to a “pet rock.”

In spite of his subsequent admissions of remorse, he continued to use the term “decentralized Ponzi scheme” to describe bitcoin and other digital currencies following his previous tirades.

Dimon and other banking leaders, including Brian Moynihan of Bank of America Corp., have asserted that their institutions have measures to stop terrorists and other criminals from utilizing them.

In contrast, Warren advocated for the extension of anti-money-laundering regulations that banks presently enforce to digital assets, specifically the cryptocurrency market. Every single CEO expressed agreement.

As of today, the market cap of cryptocurrencies stood at $1.55 trillion. Chart: TradingView.com

According to sources, JPMorgan completed its first blockchain-based collateral resolution as recently as October in a deal with BlackRock and Barclays.

With its JPM Coin, a proprietary stablecoin that enables users to execute blockchain-based payments, JPMorgan was a pioneer in this space.

JPMorgan said in the next two years, the token may handle up to $10 billion in daily transactions, up from its current level of about $1 billion.

The price of bitcoin, the biggest cryptocurrency in the world in terms of market valuation, has increased by more than 150% this year to about $44,000-plus, according to market tracker CoinMarketCap, despite calls for a government clampdown.

Cryptocurrency Critique Unites Senator With Bankers

Warren took advantage of the session to criticize the cryptocurrency sector by collaborating with Republicans and prominent bankers.

Naturally, Dimon does not have the power of a government and cannot independently initiate the ban of cryptocurrencies.

Being the leader of a private financial company, he may only make suggestions and voice opinions; he cannot implement significant policy changes.

Nevertheless, it demonstrated an unusual convergence of interests between the crypto industry and the senator from Massachusetts, a long-time enemy of banks, who claimed that cryptocurrency was supporting illegal transactions.

The price of bitcoin, the biggest and most popular cryptocurrency in the world, has increased by more than 150% this year and crossed the $44,000 barrier on Wednesday, according to the most recent market data, despite calls for a government shut down.
