JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said that stablecoin rewards should be treated like a bank product, arguing that firms paying rewards on customer balances are effectively offering deposit-like services, according to a report and a post circulated on X.

Dimon’s stance is a regulatory parity play: if a product looks and functions like interest on an account, he said it should be supervised under the same consumer-protection and compliance expectations banks face. The report also notes a potential carve-out if rewards are strictly tied to specific activities such as money transfers, rather than paid on idle balances.
JPMorgan and other bank executives have said they want to be involved in stablecoins to understand and participate in what they see as a growing part of the financial system. The next milestone for stakeholders is whether policymakers translate the “same rules for the same product” concept into clear guardrails for rewards, disclosures, and risk governance as new crypto legislation advances.
