JPMorgan Turns Bullish on Cryptocurrencies Following a Slip in BTC Production Cost

  • JPMorgan is positive that cryptocurrencies will rebound in 2026.
  • Bitcoin production cost has dropped to around $77,000.
  • BTC has gained 0.08% over the last 24 hours.

JPMorgan has cited its optimism for cryptocurrencies after the BTC production cost declined. The bank is bullish for the segment in 2026 despite tokens recording lows since the recent days. It has also addressed a connection between BTC and Gold to reiterate its stance towards the flagship crypto.

JPMorgan on Cryptocurrencies

JPMorgan has noted a decline in Bitcoin’s production cost to around $77,000 and is anticipating a new equilibrium for the token. Most importantly, the bank has estimated that cryptocurrencies could recover in the remaining months of the year, given there is a renewed institutional inflow and the possibility for clarity on US crypto legislation.

Notably, a prolonged trading below the production cost could pressurize miners, but JPMorgan expects the trend to self-correct as the aggregate production cost could lower further.

JPMorgan has further laid out its expectation by saying that the shift in the crypto market could be led primarily by institutional investors instead of retail traders or DATs, that is, digital asset treasuries.

The BTC and Gold Connection

JPMorgan has also noted a connection between Gold and BTC. The bank has underlined that even though the precious metal has outperformed the flagship token since October 2025, it has also gained higher volatility. This, in the long-term, makes Bitcoin tokens more attractive even though their prices are significantly down.

BTC was last seen trading at $67,160.83, up by 0.08% over the last 24 hours, and down by 5.61% in a week. It is forecasted to grow by 30.40% in the next 3 months to exchange hands at around $88,242, amid a high volatility of 11.72%. A decline after brief consolidation has triggered bearish sentiments, but the 14-Day RSI remains neutral at 32.07 points.

Crypto Market in General

Overall sentiments across the crypto market are bearish, as reflected in the FGI of 8 points. The collective market cap has recovered slightly by 0.69% to $2.3 trillion; however, it remains massively down from a high of over $3 trillion.

A common belief is that the crypto market would eventually rebound if further regulatory clarifications underline the progressive space. This includes the much-talked-about Clarity Act. Also, the US Jan 2026 Employment data has signalled a low chance of a Fed rate cut in March 2026.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
