According to people who slightly know the move, a bitcoin sceptic who leads JP Morgan Chase & Co., Jamie Demon, allowed the financial advisors to place their private bank clients in a brand-new bitcoin fund created with NYDIG, a crypto firm. The company has started giving six funds from the past month to its clients of wealth management. The people claimed that the fund is almost identical to one of the NYDIG of the rival bank, Morgan Stanley, offering the clients.

What were the four funds rolled out the last month?

During the last month, some funds were rolled out that were accessed by JP Morgan. People said that the funds were from Osprey Funds and Greyscale Investments. Also, people claimed that the rest of the funds were from Osprey Bitcoin Trust, Grayscale Ethereum Trust, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust, and Grayscale Bitcoin Cash Trust.

What did the sources decline to be identified speaking about?

Each source started speaking an awkward fact but was not ready to be identified while talking about the offerings. One of the uncomfortable facts that the people stated was that Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan, is the most outspoken bitcoin’s sceptics and digital assets related to the same, from Wall Street.

What were the early signs?

In May, Dimon’s bank was indulged in advanced negotiations with crypto firms to provide an array of funds. However, he recalled that he still did not support crypto firms and bitcoin. But, he also claimed that the clients were interested and did not want to tell what the clients need to do.

The role of Muted Rollout:

The products’ muted rollout is a sign of the ambivalence of the bank to bitcoin. According to Business Insider, the advisors of JP Morgan can only be responsive to the requests of clients and are not allowed to recommend the Osprey or Greyscale funds. Also, it is reported that clients of the private banks can only access the NYDIG fund despite the bank making funds broadly available across a variety of wealth management platforms.

Why is it like that?

Maybe, it is because of the direct access of ownership by the bitcoin given by the product of NYDIG, which the crypto firm in cold storage holds. Also, it is reported that the clients of private banks are considered to be more sophisticated and cosmopolitan investors and will at least have $10 million in assets. According to Coindesk, the NYDIG fund is marketed as one of the safest and least expensive ways to gain bitcoin exposure. Furthermore, people said that the NYDIG fund is being praised as it can be faultlessly rolled into an ETF in the upcoming years.
