Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase
JPM,
said that “I personally think that Bitcoin is worthless” on Monday, reiterating his past comments.
But the banking giant will offer its clients exposure to bitcoin, Dimon said, while briefly speaking at the annual Institute of International Finance event.
“Our clients are adults. They disagree. That’s what makes markets,” Dimon said. “So, if they want to have access to buy yourself bitcoin, we can’t custody it but we could give them legitimate, as clean as possible, access.”
JPMorgan started giving its wealth management clients access to crypto funds in July.
