JPMorgan chief executive officer (CEO) Jamie Dimon in a new shareholder letter on Monday said interest rates in the U.S. can rise to as high as 8% or more amid persistent inflationary pressures driven by fiscal deficits and military conflict among other factors.
Bitcoin remains a viable option amid high inflationary risks as a hedge against inflation, but crypto traders consider interest rate cuts an important factor for further rally in Bitcoin price.

Jamie Dimon in his 61-page letter talked about banking and AI to global economic risks and geopolitical concerns and and ways to make the US economy resilient and strong.
As per <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://reports.jpmorganchase.com/investor-relations/2023/ar-ceo-letters.htm" target="_blank">JPMorgan CEO</a>, interest rates as high as 8% is still on the table amid rising inflation witnessed in recent CPI, PPI, and PCE reports. The Fed Chair <a href="https://coingape.com/feds-powell-is-in-no-rush-for-interest-rate-cuts-more-pain-for-bitcoin-btc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jerome Powell</a> still sees three rate cuts this year, but other Fed officials warn rate cuts may not come this year. The current interest rates are 5.25-5.50%.
.“Huge fiscal spending, the trillions needed each year for the green economy, the remilitarization of the world and the restructuring of global trade—all are inflationary,” wrote Dimon.
The potential for “stagflation,” a recession characterized by lingering high inflation, is still high. However, the <a href="https://coingape.com/fed-swaps-push-rate-cuts-to-september-crypto-market-saw-300m-liquidated/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">labor market</a> remains strong in the United States. He added that <a href="https://coingape.com/blackrock-ceo-raises-alarm-on-us-debt-whats-next-for-crypto-markets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">federal deficit</a> is a real issue hurting business confidence and believes government spending could keep rates high. He is also not confident about soft landing as the market is pricing in a 70-80% chance of a soft landing.

While JPMorgan warned about rising digital trades, he didn’t warn about Bitcoin and digital assets. The decision could also be related to his recent statement that “He’s done talking about Bitcoin.”
Crypto experts assert Bitcoin price will move upwards despite inflationary pressure. Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation has provided better gains and price movements are better in bull market.
