CEO of JPMorgan suggests the company’s coin “could one day be consumer”
Jamie Dimon, who is the CEO of JPMorgan, participated in a questions-and-answers session during the company’s annual investor day. What’s interesting, Dimon said that JPMCoin (the planned bank’s token) “could be internal, could be commercial, it could one day be consumer”, as CNBC reports. However, the Dimon’s remarks were rather only speculations as the company informs on its website that JPMCoin will not be offered for individual clients. Let us remind that JPMorgan unveiled its plans about a new token some time ago becoming the first US major bank planning such a step. The JPMCoin’s aim is to settle transactions related to the wholesale business payments of its clients.
The upcoming Ethereum (ETHEREUM on xStation5) hard fork called Constantinople is planned at 7,280,000,000 block. This means that it could probably take a place in the nearest hours or days. Source: xStation5
Major Swiss bank to offer crypto services
Major Swiss bank Julius Baer has teamed up with SEBA Crypto AG, which is the crypto-focused Swiss bank, “to provide its clients with access to a range of new digital asset services”, according to the bank’s post published yesterday on its Twitter profile. As a result, the large Swiss bank has become another major financial institution which wants to enter into the cryptocurrency market. Let us recall that such entities as Nasdaq and Fidelity have announced their plans related to cryptos in recent months. As we could see, some major financial companies do not seem to be discouraged to cryptos despite huge falls of cryptocurrency prices seen in the previous months.
Wednesday’s trading has been also rather calm for Ripple (RIPPLE on xStation5) as it has settled down after heightened volatility. The cryptocurrency is trading a little below the $0.315 handle at press time. Source: xStation5
