Trump Claims JPMorgan’s Dimon Is Softening His Stance on Crypto
In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump revealed that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, known for his critical stance on cryptocurrencies, appears to be softening his views on the industry.
Trump noted that Dimon, who had previously been vocal about his skepticism towards crypto, seems to be changing his perspective.
Trump himself has also revised his stance on digital assets. Once dismissive of Bitcoin as a mere scam, Trump now expresses support for the cryptocurrency sector in the U.S., emphasizing the importance of protecting and fostering the industry.
He pointed out that if the U.S. fails to advance in the crypto space, other countries, notably China, will seize the opportunity.

Trump highlighted his recent experiences, including successful NFT sales predominantly paid for with cryptocurrency, which have reshaped his views.
He observed the substantial role that crypto played in these transactions and expressed a desire to ensure the U.S. remains competitive in this emerging field.
Trump also mentioned that he would consider Jamie Dimon for a potential role as U.S. Treasury Secretary and noted that his new running mate, JD Vance, is a crypto advocate. Vance’s support for cryptocurrencies is further underscored by his past investment in Bitcoin, having purchased between $100,000 and $250,000 worth of the asset in 2022.
