JPM Coin – US Government First Backed Cryptocurrency

JPMorgan Chase, one of the biggest banking institutions in the United States is developing the first cryptocurrency to be ever backed by the US government.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Called Bitcoin A Fraud

JPMorgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon once called Bitcoin a fraud in September 2018 saying he has no interest in it, a statement he later personally regretted in an interview on Fox Business. According to him, “The blockchain is real. You can have cryptodollars in yen and stuff like that. ICOs.. you got to look at everyone individually. The bitcoin was always to me what the governments are going to feel about bitcoin when it gets really big”.

JPM Coin for Real-Time Settlement

According to Umar Farooq, for the time being, JPM coin’s initial concentration would be on international settlements by big corporations, thereby helping these institutions bolster up transactions that take a longer period of time by using options such as Swift.
