JPMorgan to accept crypto ETFs
According to a 4 June Bloomberg reportThe bank will launch the offer in the coming weeks.
It starts with BlackRock’s Ishares Bitcoin Trust, the most important American place Bitcoin [BTC] ETF, which currently has more than $ 70 billion in net assets.
Although JPMorgan has previously dealt with such regulations selectively, the new approach marks a broader shift into the integration of crypto in traditional finances.
The bank will also take into account crypto companies in the general net value and liquidity assessments of customers in determining the loan limits.
The other crypto steps from Banks
In fact, the bank giant recently worked with Circle to support the upcoming IPO of the Stablecoin emittent, which points to the growing role in facilitating broader participation in industry.
