JPMorgan is weighing whether to offer crypto trading to its institutional clients, as major banks globally deepen their involvement in digital assets, Bloomberg reported Monday.
The firm is assessing potential products within its markets division, including spot and derivatives trading.
The discussions are still in the early stages and are being driven by rising client interest following recent shifts in the US regulatory environment. Any development will depend on demand, risk assessments, and what is feasible under existing regulations.
The potential expansion would mark another step in banks warming to crypto following the return of Donald Trump to the White House and the appointment of more crypto-friendly regulators. For JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon, long skeptical of Bitcoin, the move reflects a more pragmatic stance toward digital assets across Wall Street.
This is a developing story.
