JPMorgan Analyst: Massive Amounts Of Cash Pour Into Crypto And Blockchain

Institutional money keeps coming into the crypto and the underlying tech of blockchain these days, and this is definitely boosting mass adoption. It’s important because this has been one of the most important goals that the crypto industry has set.

Check out the latest reports here.

The chairman of investment strategy at JPMorgan has recently said that he was late in recognizing how big the crypto space would grow and is now taking a deep exploratory dive.

It’s been just revealed that Michael Cembalest discusses topics including Bitcoin (BTC) as a store-of-value, decentralized finance (DeFi), stablecoins, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

The JPMorgan chairman also made sure to explain the ways in which blockchain adoption can be distinct from crypto valuations.

He said that he speaks for himself and not JPMorgan, the analyst says:

“I did not anticipate the increase in crypto values from $25 billion to $250 billion to $2.5 trillion (and now $1.5 trillion), and I recognize that I am late to this.”

He continued and stated the following:

“There’s a ton of money pouring into crypto and blockchain investments. Venture capitalists [VCs] have been plowing money into crypto at an accelerating pace, rivaling other innovation categories.”

Cembalest takes note of where the VCs are putting their money:

“[Around] 40% in trading, investing and lending businesses; ~20% in Web 3.0 applications and NFTs; ~10% in custody; and the remainder in a variety of businesses focused on compliance, mining and data security.”

Regarding crypto adoption, he also made sure to highlight the fact that institutional portfolios are taking on more and more exposure.

“Crypto adoption is rising across investor types and regions. While institutional ownership has been low to date, it is now growing.”

The mass adoption of crypto and blockchain is going strong and there are all kinds of optimistic predictions about the path ahead. The crypto market is also recovering these days following more corrections.
