JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Said He'd 'Fire In A Second' Anyone Caught Trading Bitcoin When It Was At $4,000. 7 Years Later, The Investment Bank Holds Positions In Spot ETFs Tracking The Apex Crypto
Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM), is known for his no-holds-barred attacks on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), despite the banking giant's investments in exchange-traded funds tied to the leading cryptocurrency.
摩根大通(纽约证券交易所代码:JPM)首席执行官杰米·戴蒙以对比特币(加密货币:BTC)的无拘无束的攻击而闻名,尽管这家银行业巨头投资了与领先的加密货币相关的交易所交易基金。
What happened: Speaking at an investor conference almost exactly seven years ago, Dimon dubbed Bitcoin as "fraud" and "worse than tulip bulbs," in reference to the Dutch tulip mania in the 17th century.
发生了什么:戴蒙在将近整七年前的一次投资者会议上发表讲话,指的是17世纪荷兰的郁金香狂热,将比特币称为 “欺诈” 和 “比郁金香球泡还要糟糕”。
The remark that gained the most notoriety was when he said he would "fire in a second" any JPMorgan trader caught trading in Bitcoin.
最臭名昭著的言论是他说他将 “在一秒钟内解雇” 任何被抓到比特币交易的摩根大通交易员。
When Dimon made these remarks, one Bitcoin was priced at $4,161.27. Today, the coin's price has ballooned to $57,926, indicating a massive 1,292% increase.
当戴蒙发表这些言论时,一枚比特币的价格为4,161.27美元。今天,该代币的价格已飙升至57,926美元,表明大幅上涨了1,292%。

Why It Matters: Dimon's criticism of Bitcoin has continued unabated, and he went so far as to ask for a shutdown of the industry during a Congressional testimony in December last year.
为何重要:戴蒙对比特币的批评有增无减,在去年12月的国会作证中,他甚至要求关闭该行业。
However, his stance remarkably softened just a month later when the first-ever Bitcoin ETFs saw the light of day. Dimon said, "I defend your right to do Bitcoin."
但是,仅仅一个月后,当有史以来第一只比特币ETF问世时,他的立场明显软化了。戴蒙说:“我捍卫你做比特币的权利。”
According to the recent filing with the SEC, JPMorgan reported holding $42,000 worth of shares of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSE:GBTC). It also liquidated its entire portfolio in the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT) which was acquired in the first quarter.
根据最近向美国证券交易委员会提交的文件,摩根大通报告持有Grayscale比特币信托基金(纽约证券交易所代码:GBTC)价值42,000美元的股票。它还清算了第一季度收购的iShares比特币信托ETF(纳斯达克股票代码:IBIT)中的全部投资组合。
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $57,947.66, up 2.50% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Shares of JPMorgan closed 0.78% higher at $207.17 during Thursday's regular trading session.
