Jamie Dimon says Bitcoin is ‘fraud’, blockchain is the solution, but data shows cash fuels crime

Jamie Dimon's criticism of Bitcoin is questioned in light of JPMorgan's blockchain investments and data showing a decreasing role of cryptocurrency in crime. Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has consistently expressed skepticism about Bitcoin, calling it a "fraud" and associating it with illicit activities. However, JPMorgan itself has invested heavily in blockchain technology and is actively involved in initiatives like tokenization and the development of its stablecoin, JPM Coin. Data also suggests that while some illicit transactions occur in the crypto space, traditional finance remains the dominant channel for global illicit trade. The article highlights how other prominent figures, such as Donald Trump and Larry Fink, have shifted their stance on Bitcoin as the industry has evolved. The future of Bitcoin and whether Dimon's critique will be overshadowed by the technology's development remains uncertain.
