Davos 2024: No Bitcoin Criticism as JPMorgan Chase Allows Client Purchases

The 2024 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, saw no direct criticism of Bitcoin price, despite past skepticism. Meanwhile, banking giant JPMorgan Chase has announced a shift in policy, now allowing clients to buy Bitcoin price.

In a surprising turn, the World Economic Forum in Davos did not produce any statements explicitly dismissing Bitcoin price's value. While interim co-chair Larry Fink of BlackRock has supported Bitcoin price spot ETFs, influencing institutional adoption positively.

Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase, led by CEO Jamie Dimon, has reversed its stance on Bitcoin price. Despite Dimon's past skepticism, referring to it as 'the pet rock' and expressing concerns about money laundering, the bank will now allow clients to purchase Bitcoin price. The repeal of accounting rule SAB 121 has provided banks with more flexibility to engage with digital assets, potentially influencing this decision. The bank will not custody Bitcoin price but will include it in clients' statements, acknowledging the increasing demand for such services.
