Paljud JPMorgani kliendid näevad Bitcoini varaklassina, ütleb vanemjuht

Vaatamata Bitcoinile (BTC) not yet emerging as an “asset class per se,” JPMorgan considers it important to meet the demand for cryptocurrency investment, according to a senior wealth management executive.

A large number of JPMorgan clients see digital currencies like Bitcoin as an asset class, the company’s director of asset and wealth management, Mary Callahan Erdoes, said.

In a Bloomberg interview released Tuesday, Erdoes rõhutas that the bank will continue providing crypto services to meet the growing demand, stating:

"Paljud meie kliendid ütlevad:" See on varaklass ja ma tahan investeerida ", ja meie ülesanne on aidata neil paigutada oma raha sinna, kuhu nad soovivad investeerida."

Erdoes said that the debate about whether cryptocurrencies constitute an asset class is still ongoing, as many experts are concerned about the market’s extreme volatility.

"See on väga isiklik asi. Bitcoini pole meil omaette varaklassina, ”nentis Erdoes ja lisas, et jääb üle vaadata, kas krüptoraha on väärtusvaru. "Volatiilsus, mida te täna näete, peab lihtsalt ennast välja mängima," lõpetas naine.

One of the largest investment banking institutions in the United States, JPMorgan is known for its somewhat mixed stance on crypto, with CEO Jamie Dimon referring to Bitcoin as “fraud” back in 2017. The company has since softened its stance on the industry, reportedly preparing to launch an actively managed Bitcoin fund sama hästi kui launching debt instruments with direct exposure to a basket of crypto-focused companies.

JPMorgan analysts have been closely monitoring the crypto market, with crypto expert Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou forecasting that Bitcoini hind on 145,000 XNUMX dollarit as its long-term “theoretical target.” In late June, JPMorgan said that institutional investors had little appetite for buying the dip, with strategists reiterating that Bitcoin would be trading between $23,000 and $35,000 over the medium term.
