JPMorgan Chase允許客戶購買比特幣（BTC）

此舉標誌著加密貨幣的主流接受是一個顯著的發展。但是，長期以來對比特幣和更廣泛的加密市場的批評家傑米·戴蒙（Jamie Dimon）澄清說，他對數字貨幣的個人看法保持不變。

JPMorgan Chase will allow clients to buy bitcoin (BTC), a move that highlights the mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrency despite the personal skepticism of CEO Jamie Dimon.

摩根大通（JPMorgan Chase）將允許客戶購買比特幣（BTC），儘管首席執行官傑米·迪蒙（Jamie Dimon）個人懷疑，但仍強調了對加密貨幣的主流接受。

The bank’s decision to offer direct bitcoin products was announced during its annual investor day on Monday. While competitors like Morgan Stanley began offering access to spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for qualifying clients in August, JPMorgan is venturing into this realm now.

該銀行在周一的年度投資者日宣布了該銀行提供直接比特幣產品的決定。儘管摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）等競爭對手在8月開始為合格客戶提供訪問現貨比特幣交易所資金（ETF），但摩根大通（JPMorgan）現在正在進入這個領域。

“We’re going to allow you to buy it. We’re not going to custody it. We’re going to put it in statements for clients, and if you want to buy it, we’re not going to tell you no. I don’t think you should smoke, but I defend your right to smoke. I defend your right to buy bitcoin,” Dimon stated.

“我們將允許您購買它。我們不會拘留它。我們將它將其放在客戶的陳述中，如果您想購買，我們不會告訴您不。我不認為您應該吸煙，但是我為您辯護吸煙的權利。我捍衛您購買比特幣的權利，”戴蒙說。

However, he also expressed his skepticism towards the cryptocurrency, highlighting concerns over money laundering and the lack of clarity surrounding bitcoin ownership.

但是，他還對加密貨幣表示懷疑，強調了對洗錢的擔憂以及對比特幣所有權缺乏清晰度的關注。

“It’s been used for—frankly, they’ll tell you—the sex trafficking, the terrorism, they’ll tell you all the stories. I don’t like any of those things. I prefer petty cash crimes, petty drug crimes—no, I’m kidding!” Dimon remarked with a smile.

“它已經被用來了 - 他們會告訴你 - 性販運，恐怖主義，他們會告訴你所有的故事。我不喜歡這些事情。我更喜歡零錢現金犯罪，小毒品犯罪 - 不，我在開玩笑！”戴蒙微笑著說。

Highlighting his skepticism further, he stated that bitcoin has been covered "a bit too much" by the media and compared it to "the pet rock."

他進一步強調了他的懷疑，他說比特幣被媒體覆蓋了“太多”，並將其與“寵物岩石”進行了比較。

“This is the last time I’m talking about this with CNBC, so help me God. I met the president of a large country at the last breakfast, and we talked about petty cash crimes, petty drug crimes—they’ll tell you all the stories about bitcoin. But they’re doing petty cash crimes and petty drug crimes. I don’t like any of those things. But they’ll tell you it’s the only true use case for bitcoin.”

“這是我最後一次與CNBC談論這件事，所以請幫助我。我在上次早餐時遇到了一個大國的總統，我們談論了小巧的現金犯罪，小毒品犯罪 - 他們會告訴你所有關於比特幣的故事。但是他們在做瑣碎的現金犯罪和瑣碎的毒品犯罪。我不喜歡這些事情。

The bank is planning to offer clients access to bitcoin ETFs as it expands its digital asset offerings.

該銀行計劃在擴展其數字資產產品時為客戶提供對比特幣ETF的訪問。

While JPMorgan has been offering futures-based products in the crypto space, it is venturing into offering more direct investment products in bitcoin.

儘管摩根大通在加密貨幣領域提供基於期貨的產品，但它正在冒險提供比特幣中更直接的投資產品。

The announcement comes amid a broader shift in the U.S. regulatory landscape towards cryptocurrencies.

這一消息是在美國監管景觀向加密貨幣的更廣泛轉變中進行的。

Following the election of President Donald Trump, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) began unwinding their strong guidance against cryptocurrencies, granting banks greater latitude in engaging with digital assets.

唐納德·特朗普總統當選後，聯邦存款保險公司（FDIC）和貨幣審計長（OCC）的辦公室開始放鬆他們對加密貨幣的強有力指導，使銀行在參與數字資產方面具有更大的緯度。

Although the Federal Reserve (Fed) has issued notices restricting certain crypto-related activities, such as engaging in mining or lending, banks are now able to custody cryptocurrencies, overcoming a previous obstacle posed by an accounting rule known as SAB 121, which had deterred custody operations.

儘管美聯儲（美聯儲）發布了限制某些與加密相關的活動的通知，例如從事採礦或貸款，但銀行現在能夠拘留加密貨幣，克服了被稱為SAB 121的會計規則構成的障礙，該規則被稱為SAB 121，該規則阻止了監護權。

At the time of writing, BTC is changing hands at $105,400, which is just 3% below its record high of $109,000 during the first quarter uptrend of the market. In terms of monthly gains, the market’s leading cryptocurrency has recovered 24% after dropping sharply to $74,000 in April.

在撰寫本文時，BTC的價格為105,400美元，在第一季度上升趨勢中，其紀錄的高點僅比其創紀錄的109,000美元高出3％。就月收益而言，該市場的領先加密貨幣在四月份急劇下降至74,000美元後恢復了24％。
