JP Morgan's Dimon appears to be confident on consumer adoption of JPM coin

The reputed investment bank, JP Morgan Chase & Co. has been offering us a mixed bag of opinions, at times, wavering opinions on crypto-space. 

We say this because, right from the Chief Mr. Jamie Dimon’s U-turn from his critic statement back in 2018, “cryptocurrency as a fraud, terming digital currencies as a novelty and worth nothing" to his confession after JP Morgan’s keenness of investment into blockchain and crypto-currencies. Furthermore, JP Morgan Analysts, say that the value of crypto remains unproven.

But for now, Dimon has made his remarks that JPM Coin, the company’s newly launched cryptocurrency likely to get customer adoption, reported in CNBC interview very recently. Wherein, he reportedly stated that “JPM Coin could be internal, could be commercial, it could one day be a consumer.” The coin would purportedly find its use for retail payments, he answered during a Q&A session.

With an objective of improvising settlement efficiency, the renowned investment banking firm made their announcement that they intend to unveil own cryptocurrency, initially within three of its operations, namely, international settlements by major corporations, helping speed up transactions that currently take a day or longer using extant options such as SWIFT.

Overall, innovative moves of this sort, are most likely to provides on-and off-chain information to some of the most innovative FinTech and Smart Contracts platforms within the global blockchain ecosystem. 

We have already witnessed the huge R&D costs in FinTech initiatives in the recent past, innovations taking place in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space that would most likely encompass the various gamut of business dimensions.
