<ul>
 <li>JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon supports the right to buy Bitcoin, despite his personal reservations.</li>
 <li>Bitcoin’s price surge, amid expectations of lower interest rates, prompts caution from Dimon.</li>
</ul>
<p>Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has voiced his support for the right to purchase Bitcoin, even as he maintains personal doubts about the cryptocurrency.</p>
<p>Dimon shared his thoughts during the Australian Financial Review business summit in Sydney, where he also discussed the potential timing of a rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve.</p>
<h2 id="dimon-s-stance-on-bitcoin">Dimon’s Stance on Bitcoin</h2>
<p>Dimon compared the right to buy Bitcoin to the right to smoke a cigarette, stating that he would defend both rights. However, he also mentioned that he would never buy Bitcoin himself and expressed concerns about the risks involved for buyers.</p>
<p>With Bitcoin’s price recently hitting a record high of over $72,000, Dimon suggested that investors should proceed with caution. He hinted at the possibility of a market bubble, cautioning that overly optimistic buyers might be missing these warning signs.</p>
<h2 id="the-impact-of-interest-rates-on-bitcoin">The Impact of Interest Rates on Bitcoin</h2>
<p>Bitcoin’s price surge, which has been driven by the introduction of spot ETFs, is happening in a market that expects lower interest rates this year.</p>
<p>Interest rate traders, as indicated by the CME’s FedWatch tool, predict that the Fed will maintain steady rates in March and May, with the first potential cut happening in June. However, Dimon argued for a delay in implementing a rate cut cycle.</p>
<p>Dimon also commented on the Federal Reserve’s recent monetary policy decisions, suggesting they could be damaging their credibility. He recommended waiting until after June to make any rate adjustments.</p>
<p>The JPMorgan CEO emphasized the importance of data-driven decisions and warned of persistently high inflation, which could result in higher rates for a longer period.</p>
<p>The February U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report indicates that inflation remains high, which could deter the Fed from initiating rate cuts.</p>
<h2 id="bitcoin-s-record-high">Bitcoin’s Record High</h2>
<p>Bitcoin’s price has soared to a record high, remaining above the $72,000 mark. Over the past month, the digital currency’s price has surged by over 40%.</p>
<p>The GM 30 Index, which represents a selection of the top 30 cryptocurrencies, has increased by 0.45% to 157.01 in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin currently dominates the market with a 49.9% share, while <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> holds 17%.</p>
