JPMorgan Chase允许客户购买比特币（BTC）

此举标志着加密货币的主流接受是一个显着的发展。但是，长期以来对比特币和更广泛的加密市场的批评家杰米·戴蒙（Jamie Dimon）澄清说，他对数字货币的个人看法保持不变。

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）将允许客户购买比特币（BTC），尽管首席执行官杰米·迪蒙（Jamie Dimon）个人怀疑，但仍强调了对加密货币的主流接受。

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.

该银行在周一的年度投资者日宣布了该银行提供直接比特币产品的决定。尽管摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）等竞争对手在8月开始为合格客户提供访问现货比特币交易所资金（ETF），但摩根大通（JPMorgan）现在正在进入这个领域。

“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.

“我们将允许您购买它。我们不会拘留它。我们将它将其放在客户的陈述中，如果您想购买，我们不会告诉您不。我不认为您应该吸烟，但是我为您辩护吸烟的权利。我捍卫您购买比特币的权利，”戴蒙说。

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

但是，他还对加密货币表示怀疑，强调了对洗钱的担忧以及对比特币所有权缺乏清晰度的关注。

“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.

“它已经被用来了 - 他们会告诉你 - 性贩运，恐怖主义，他们会告诉你所有的故事。我不喜欢这些事情。我更喜欢零钱现金犯罪，小毒品犯罪 - 不，我在开玩笑！”戴蒙微笑着说。

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."

他进一步强调了他的怀疑，他说比特币被媒体覆盖了“太多”，并将其与“宠物岩石”进行了比较。

“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.”

“这是我最后一次与CNBC谈论这件事，所以请帮助我。我在上次早餐时遇到了一个大国的总统，我们谈论了小巧的现金犯罪，小毒品犯罪 - 他们会告诉你所有关于比特币的故事。但是他们在做琐碎的现金犯罪和琐碎的毒品犯罪。我不喜欢这些事情。

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

该银行计划在扩展其数字资产产品时为客户提供对比特币ETF的访问。

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

尽管摩根大通在加密货币领域提供基于期货的产品，但它正在冒险提供比特币中更直接的投资产品。

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

这一消息是在美国监管景观向加密货币的更广泛转变中进行的。

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.

唐纳德·特朗普总统当选后，联邦存款保险公司（FDIC）和货币审计长（OCC）的办公室开始放松他们对加密货币的强有力指导，使银行在参与数字资产方面具有更大的纬度。

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.

尽管美联储（美联储）发布了限制某些与加密相关的活动的通知，例如从事采矿或贷款，但银行现在能够拘留加密货币，克服了被称为SAB 121的会计规则构成的障碍，该规则被称为SAB 121，该规则阻止了监护权。

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.
