Jamie Dimon Says JPMorgan Is Likely 'One Of The Bigger Users' Of Blockchain Technology, But Calls Cryptocurrencies A 'Pet Rock'
Despite his skepticism towards cryptocurrencies, Dimon acknowledged the effectiveness of blockchain technology. He reiterated his view by calling cryptocurrency a "pet rock" but praised blockchain as a "great way to share data."Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, stated that the bank is "probably one of the bigger users of blockchain" during an interview on Tuesday at the Financial Markets Quality Conference.
摩根大通首席執行官傑米·戴蒙在週二的金融市場質量會議上表示，該銀行「可能是區塊鏈的主要用戶之一」。
What Happened: Dimon, who has been skeptical of cryptocurrencies, emphasized that JPMorgan is an "actual user" of blockchain technology. He described blockchain as "just a database" and highlighted its utility in sharing data and building trust between banks and customers, reported The Block.
據《The Block》報道，戴蒙一直對加密貨幣持懷疑態度，強調摩根大通是區塊鏈技術的「真正用戶」。他將區塊鏈描述爲「僅僅是一個數據庫」，並強調了它在銀行和客戶之間共享數據和建立信任的實用性。
"We're probably one of the bigger users of blockchain, an actual user, like a real user," Dimon said, according to the report.
報告稱，戴蒙說：「我們可能是區塊鏈的主要用戶之一，真正的用戶。」
Despite his skepticism towards cryptocurrencies, Dimon acknowledged the effectiveness of blockchain technology. He reiterated his view by calling cryptocurrency a "pet rock" but praised blockchain as a "great way to share data."
儘管對加密貨幣持懷疑態度，但戴蒙承認了區塊鏈技術的有效性。他再次稱加密貨幣爲「玩具石頭」，但讚揚區塊鏈是「共享數據的好方法」。
JPMorgan's blockchain network, Onyx, was launched in 2020 and is based on a forked version of Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH). It supports wholesale payments, peer-to-peer lending, and cross-border transactions. The network has processed over $700 billion worth of transactions and includes firms like Goldman Sachs, DBS Bank, and BNP Paribas among its users.
摩根大通的區塊鏈網絡Onyx於2020年推出，基於以太幣（CRYPTO: ETH）的分叉版本。該網絡支持批發支付、點對點借貸和跨境交易。該網絡已處理超過7000億美元的交易，並吸引了高盛、星展銀行和法國巴黎銀行等公司的用戶。
Dimon has consistently dismissed cryptocurrencies while advocating for blockchain. At Davos in 2021, he labeled Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) a "hyped-up fraud" but acknowledged blockchain's efficiency in moving money. He reiterated on Tuesday that blockchain has not advanced as much as artificial intelligence over the past 12 years.
戴蒙一直對加密貨幣持懷疑態度，同時提倡區塊鏈。在2021年的達沃斯論壇上，他將比特幣（CRYPTO: BTC）稱爲「被炒作起來的騙局」，但承認了區塊鏈在資金流動方面的效率。他在週二重申，相比過去12年的人工智能發展，區塊鏈並沒有取得同樣的進展。
Dimon, who once suggested banning crypto, is reportedly a candidate for Treasury Secretary if Donald Trump wins reelection. He mentioned that while Chase might not lend against cryptocurrencies, clients still have access to some crypto services.
據報道，戴蒙曾建議禁止加密貨幣，如果唐納德·特朗普成功連任，他有望成爲財政部長候選人。他提到，儘管摩根大通可能不會爲加密貨幣提供貸款，但客戶仍然可以使用一些加密貨幣服務。
Why It Matters: Dimon's recent comments come amid a backdrop of significant shifts in the cryptocurrency landscape.
該報道指出，戴蒙最近的評論發生在加密貨幣領域發生了重大變化的背景下。
Dimon reiterated his harsh stance on Bitcoin, recalling his statement from seven years ago, in which he said he would "fire in a second" any JPMorgan trader caught trading Bitcoin. Despite this, JPMorgan has investments in exchange-traded funds tied to Bitcoin, such as the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSE:GBTC).
戴蒙重申了對比特幣的強硬立場，回憶起七年前的聲明，他說如果發現任何一名摩根大通交易員交易比特幣，他會「立即解僱」他。儘管如此，摩根大通投資了與比特幣相關的交易所交易基金，例如Grayscale比特幣信託基金（紐交所:GBTC）。
Additionally, Trump and his family have launched a cryptocurrency project called World Liberty Financial, signaling a dramatic shift from the former President's previous stance on digital currencies.
此外，特朗普和他的家人還啓動了一個名爲世界自由財務的加密貨幣項目，這表明這位前總統在數字貨幣方面的立場發生了巨大轉變。
The skepticism towards Bitcoin is not isolated to Dimon. Renowned economist Peter Schiff and tech billionaire Peter Thiel have also voiced doubts about Bitcoin's potential. Schiff stated in August that he hasn't seen any convincing argument to embrace Bitcoin, while Thiel expressed skepticism about Bitcoin's future growth.
對於比特幣的懷疑不僅僅只有戴蒙一個人。著名經濟學家彼得·希夫和科技億萬富翁彼得·蒂爾也對比特幣的潛力表示懷疑。希夫在八月表示，他沒有看到任何令人信服的理由去接受比特幣，而蒂爾對比特幣未來的增長表示懷疑。
