JPMorgan Plans to Let Clients Borrow Against Crypto ETFs
- JPMorgan announced in June 2025 that it will allow trading and wealth-management clients to borrow using cryptocurrency-linked assets as collateral globally.
- The decision follows regulatory shifts under the Trump administration and client demand for crypto exposure amid the rise of spot Bitcoin ETFs since January 2024.
- The bank will start with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust and include additional crypto ETFs over time, treating crypto holdings like stocks or art when assessing loan eligibility.
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs now manage $128 billion in assets, and Bitcoin's price reached a record $111,980 in May 2025, illustrating the growing scale of the crypto market.
- This move marks a formal expansion in JPMorgan's crypto-related financing and suggests broader institutional integration of digital assets despite CEO Jamie Dimon's skeptical stance on Bitcoin.
