CoinVoice has learned that JPMorgan Chase Chief Financial Officer Jeremy Barnum stated during the company's Q4 earnings call that JPMorgan supports blockchain technology and financial innovation, but remains clearly cautious about the design of certain yield-bearing stablecoins, believing that without appropriate prudent regulation, they could replicate traditional banking functions and thus form a "dangerous and unwelcome parallel banking system."
Barnum pointed out that the bank's stance aligns with the regulatory intent set by the GENIUS Act, which is to establish clear boundaries for stablecoin issuance. He emphasized that if stablecoins have features similar to "interest-bearing deposits" but do not bear the capital, risk management, and compliance requirements gradually developed over hundreds of years within the banking regulatory system, they could pose risks to the existing regulated financial system.
Although JPMorgan Chase welcomes competition and innovation, it does not support the bypassing of existing regulatory frameworks through "shadow banking."
