JPMorgan CEO Warns: Stablecoin Could ‘Blow Up’ If It Offers Deposit-Like Interest
May 31 — JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is sounding the alarm over the U.S. crypto market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, warning that if stablecoin issuers are allowed to offer returns similar to bank deposit interest without proper regulatory protections, the model could ultimately "blow up."
Dimon pointed out the legislation would let crypto companies offer returns akin to deposit rates via stablecoin accounts—a setup lacking sufficient safeguards that the banking sector won’t accept. “I’m not worried about stablecoins themselves, but if this were to happen, I wouldn’t be involved, and it will eventually blow up,” he said.
The CLARITY Act aims to clarify the U.S. crypto industry’s regulatory framework and outline responsibilities for various regulatory agencies. Earlier, Patrick Witt, director of the U.S. Digital Asset Advisory Committee, noted the Trump administration plans to move the bill through by July 4. However, Polymarket data shows the probability of the CLARITY Act

Analysis: Bitcoin's dip buying is absorbing some selling pressure, but it is still insufficient to reverse the downward trend
### FLASH: May 31 Bitcoin Market Update
Selling pressure on Bitcoin spot ETFs continues to mount. Following a $12.6 billion net outflow last week, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw another $14.2 billion in net outflows this week, briefly pulling BTC down to $72,500.
However, on-chain and market data show some funds are starting to buy the dip around $70,000. Spot market buying has absorbed a portion of the selling pressure and provided price support, though buying volume remains insufficient to reverse the current downtrend.
Derivatives market data adds that traders added roughly $300 million in long leveraged positions in the $73,000 to $74,000 range, signaling some investors are betting on a price rebound. Additionally, the order book depth ratio has turned positive, meaning the market views BTC as attractive below $75,000.
To push Bitcoin back into an uptrend, the market still needs new catalysts, including progress in the U.S.-Iran peace agreement, a reversal of spot ETF net outflow
