Right now, we&#8217;re just not there yet, most of the money that\u2019s being used in Web3 today, in the current infrastructure, is for speculative investment.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While JPMorgan has become relatively crypto-friendly over the past couple of years, the banking giant is primarily focused on blockchain tech, and how it can be used to specifically improve TradFi services.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Crypto Biz: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Step aside, Warren Buffett; stablecoin issuers hold more US debt than Berkshire Hathaway<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In May, Cointelegraph reported that JPMorgan had trialed tokenized collateral settlements via its own private blockchain.
