Citigroup Chairman John Dugan called for higher capital requirements for banks holding crypto assets on the first day of the IIF meeting on the 11th. He said at the meeting: I think the regulatory direction for banks to face higher capital requirements when holding cryptocurrency assets on their balance sheets is appropriate. He also mentioned the progress of the group's cryptocurrency trading services: Citigroup has begun to provide cryptocurrency trading services to clients interested in the crypto field. Even so, the bank, like many of its large institutional competitors, does not currently hold crypto assets. Citibank accelerates the promotion of cryptocurrency trading services According to 120BTc.com, Citigroup believes that Bitcoin has amazing potential in a report released in March, "Bitcoin: On the verge of mainstream application explosion". The report pointed out that Bitcoin's usage and value have grown sharply, and recently even reached a market value of 1 trillion US dollars, giving birth to an entire ecosystem. The final conclusion of the report is: Bitcoin's neutrality and global influence may make it the preferred currency for international trade. In May, the group's executives said that Citibank has seen an increase in demand for Bitcoin transactions from major clients, and there is a possibility of launching cryptocurrency trading and custody services.

In June, Citi announced the establishment of a new business unit, Digital Assets Group, dedicated to the field of cryptocurrency and blockchain, to accelerate the provision of cryptocurrency services.

In August, Citigroup blew the horn of formal entry. People familiar with Citigroup revealed that the group is waiting for regulatory approval to start trading Bitcoin futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), and said that these products will operate under a strong regulatory framework.

This is also another international traditional financial giant entering the crypto market after large institutions such as Deutsche Bank, New York Menon, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America have successively announced that they will launch crypto services.

 Views of JPMorgan Chase CEO and China Bank of Communications President on Cryptocurrency 

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who has always held a negative view on Bitcoin, also expressed his personal views on cryptocurrencies again at the IIF meeting. He believes that cryptocurrencies will be regulated because anxiety around stablecoins and other types of crypto assets continues to grow.

He also fired back at Bitcoin, saying that he personally believes Bitcoin is worthless: Our customers are adults who disagree with my views on Bitcoin. If they want to buy Bitcoin themselves, we can't keep it, but we can give them legal and as clean access as possible.

Liu Jun, president of China Bank of Communications (China's fifth largest bank today), who attended the meeting on the same day, believes that the rise of sovereign digital currencies will provide solutions to the defects of the traditional monetary system: Bank of Communications believes that sovereign digital currencies can solve the defects of the traditional monetary system, such as oversupply of money and financial repression.

He also expressed his personal views on China's digital RMB: China's digital RMB needs to be distinguished from other cryptocurrencies. Without sovereignty, digital currency can't go far.
