The CEO of JPMorgan Chase gave a shout out on Wednesday to stablecoins, one of the buzziest sectors in the crypto. “I’m a believer in stablecoins, believer in blockchain, not personally, a believer in Bitcoin itself,” Jamie Dimon said in an interview with CNBC.

He added that his bank “will have” a stablecoin, or cryptocurrency pegged to underlying assets like the U.S. dollar. “There are things that stablecoins maybe can do that your traditional cash can’t,” Dimon said, adding later: “It’s what the customer wants. It’s not what JPMorgan personally wants.”
