In a significant development for Wall Street’s crypto integration, JPMorgan, one of the largest financial institutions in the US, is set to allow Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) as collateral before the end of the year.

JPMorgan To Allow Bitcoin, Ether As Collateral

On Friday, Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan Chase & Co. plans to let its institutional clients use the two largest cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ether, as collateral for loans by the end of 2025.

This follows the bank’s move to allow crypto-based Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) as collateral. In June, the bank began allowing both institutional and retail clients globally to use spot crypto-linked ETFs, like BlackRock’s IBIT, to pledge the investment products. Previously, clients could only do it on a case-by-case basis.
