JPMorgan Plans to Let Clients Borrow Against Crypto ETFs
- In June 2025, JPMorgan revealed plans to permit its global clients to pledge digital asset holdings, such as exchange-traded funds tied to Bitcoin, as collateral for borrowing.
- This move follows the introduction and rapid growth of spot Bitcoin ETFs since January 2024 and reflects a shifting U.S. regulatory environment favoring digital assets.
- The bank will begin with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust and will treat crypto holdings like stocks or art when assessing collateral across client segments.

- This policy expansion marks a significant step for JPMorgan into crypto finance and might increase the use of digital assets in lending while serving varied client demands.
