Banking界 News, on April 7th, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon stated, "New technologies" are intensifying competition in the financial industry, with blockchain-based participants emerging alongside traditional competitors. In the annual shareholder letter released on Monday, Dimon pointed out that artificial intelligence, data, and advanced technologies are "the keys to the future," marking a shift toward more automation and data-driven financial services. Although blockchain and digital assets are not the main focus, Dimon acknowledged that "a whole new set of competitors is emerging based on blockchain, including stablecoins, smart contracts, and other forms of tokenization." JPMorgan Chase continues to focus on its own blockchain initiatives, while Dimon emphasized that the bank's long-term success will largely depend on its ability to deploy artificial intelligence in its operations.
