JPMorgan evaluates crypto trading services for institutional clients

JPMorgan is assessing the potential launch of cryptocurrency trading services for institutional clients, including both spot and derivatives products. According to Bloomberg, the initiative remains under internal review and has not yet been publicly disclosed.

The move would signal a notable shift in JPMorgan’s stance toward crypto. While the bank has historically been cautious about offering direct crypto exposure, it has continued to invest in blockchain-based settlement systems, payment infrastructure, and asset tokenization platforms.

If approved, providing direct crypto trading access — even within an institutional-only framework — would significantly expand JPMorgan’s presence in digital assets and align with growing demand from financial institutions for regulated access to crypto markets.
