JPMorgan Chase has filed with the SEC for a groundbreaking leveraged product that would allow investors to amplify their Bitcoin exposure through BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust. The structured notes could deliver 1.5x returns on Bitcoin’s gains through 2028 but carry significant downside risk if the cryptocurrency’s price declines substantially. This move represents another major step in traditional finance’s cautious embrace of cryptocurrency products despite Bitcoin’s notorious volatility and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon’s historical skepticism toward the digital asset.
