Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Hater JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Backtracked Again: “I Still Don’t Fully Understand It, But…”

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says he doesn't quite understand the appeal of stablecoins, but he also says he can't afford to sit on the sidelines.

This message from Dimon attracted attention while answering questions about stablecoin technology at the balance sheet meeting held today.

Stablecoins, as their name suggests, are cryptocurrencies typically pegged to fiat currencies like the US dollar, aiming for stability in value. Last month, JPMorgan announced the development of a limited stablecoin solution designed exclusively for its own clients. However, a more general stablecoin is expected to appeal to a much broader user base.

“As JPMorgan, we will be involved in both our own deposit coin and stablecoins. We want to understand this space and become proficient in it,” Dimon said. “Stablecoins are real. However, I still don't fully understand why you would want to use a stablecoin instead of making a payment directly.”

Dimon, 69, is known for his criticism of cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin. However, JPMorgan's massive presence in the sector, with a daily global payment volume of approximately $10 trillion, means the company cannot afford to neglect emerging payment technologies.

Dimon stated that fintech companies trying to create alternatives to the traditional banking system pose a threat, saying, “These guys are very smart. They want to create bank accounts, access payment systems, and offer rewards programs. We need to be aware of this. The way to do this is to be active in this area.”

Citigroup executives also stated in a statement today that they are exploring the possibility of issuing stablecoins and that they see opportunities, particularly in areas such as tokenized deposits and the storage of crypto assets.
