The post JPMorgan Quietly Enters Ethereum Market With $102M Investment appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Crypto is getting serious attention from Wall Street. A recent regulatory filing shows that banking giant JPMorgan now has a major investment in Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency. This is not speculation or rumor; the information comes from official documents submitted to the U.S. government. The move signals that Ethereum is no longer just a tech experiment. It’s becoming part of mainstream finance.
SEC Filing Reveals a $102 Million Investment
On November 7, JPMorgan filed its quarterly investment report, called a 13F filing, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings show what big institutions are investing in. In this filing, JPMorgan disclosed that it owns 1,974,144 shares of Bitmine Immersion Technologies, valued at approximately $102 million as of September 30.
This is important because JPMorgan is not buying Ethereum tokens directly. Instead, the bank is investing in a company that holds a massive amount of Ethereum. It’s a safer and more convenient way for a bank to get into crypto without dealing with wallets or exchanges.
Bitmine Betting Big on Ethereum
Bitmine did not start as an Ethereum company. It used to mine Bitcoin. But in 2025, Bitmine completely changed its business model. Instead of mining Bitcoin, it began accumulating and holding Ethereum, a strategic shift that surprised even people in the crypto industry.

Today, Bitmine says it holds more than 3.24 million ETH, making it one of the biggest corporate Ethereum holders in the world. Because of that, buying shares of Bitmine is almost like buying a ticket to Ethereum’s future growth. JPMorgan’s investment suggests that the bank sees long-term value in Ethereum and wants exposure without directly holding the crypto asset.
Wall Street Is Slowly Joining the Ethereum Economy
Ethereum has been gaining momentum with large investors this year. With the approval of U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs and billions flowing into new Ethereum investment products, institutions are no longer hesitant. They see Ethereum not just as a cryptocurrency, but as technology that can power finance, smart contracts, and tokenized assets.
JPMorgan is already involved in blockchain experiments and digital payments. This new investment connects those efforts to the real crypto market. Instead of watching from the sidelines, JPMorgan is now part of the ecosystem.
