O presidente dent Donald Trump postou no Truth Social que não haveria lugar para Jamie Dimon em sua administração antes de agradecer a Dimon por sua contribuição aos EUA. A declaração vem quase uma semana depois de Dimon revelar que não tinha intenção de deixar seu cargo como CEO do JPMorgan Chase.
A declaração de Trump também ocorre no momento em que ele se prepara para selecionar membros de seu gabinete e outros cargos para ajudá-lo a cumprir as promessas que fez durante sua campanha. Especulou-se que Dimon iria disputar o cargo de Secretário do Tesouro dos EUA.
O dent do JPMorgan Chase é bem conhecido no setor financeiro como uma figura proeminente, aumentando as especulações sobre sua adequação para o cargo. No entanto, Dimon disse à CBS Marketwatch na semana passada que continuaria servindo no cargo que ocupou no JPMorgan por um longo tempo ou “até que o conselho o expulsasse”.
Os membros do conselho da empresa de Wall Street parabenizaram Trump pela vitória nas eleições e prometeram contribuir para a atual administração. Os responsáveis do banco reiteraram as suas parcerias contínuas com o governo ao longo dos anos e prometeram que nada seria diferente durante a administração de Trump.

The president-elect plans to engage a pro-crypto team to achieve his mission of making the U.S. the global crypto capital. Trump promised to create better and clearer regulations for the crypto community, employ a pro-crypto U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair, and introduce an industry-loyalist presidential committee and crypto advisory board.
Trump’s win came from his pro-crypto supporters in Congress and Senate, besides crypto company executives. The president-elect got a huge inflow of funds during his campaign from crypto, showing the faith the community has. Pro-crypto supporters, such as SpaceX’s Elon Musk, also boosted his popularity in the crypto space.
Some crypto executives, including Ripple’s Brad Garlinghouse, suggested that Trump begin by making changes at the U.S. SEC and firing Gary Gensler. Garlinghouse also requested more regulatory clarity the commission has failed to offer the U.S. crypto community.
That said, Jamie Dimon has been passive during the entire election, supporting neither Trump nor Harris. The JPMorgan president has also been quiet about crypto during his tenure as the Wall Street company’s executive.
Trump’s leading pick for Treasury Secretary — billionaire hedge fund investor Scott Bessent — is very pro-crypto, particularly pro-Bitcoin.

The billionaire hedge fund and pro-crypto investor Scott Bessent is reportedly the top pick for the position Dimon was speculated to vie for. Another prominent investor, John Paulson, is also allegedly among the options for the U.S. Treasury’s top job.
Fox Business’s Eleanor Terrett reported about some statements released by Bessent. The investor congratulated the president-elect for his election win before commenting that Trump would give crypto the freedom it required.
Bessent also confirmed that all the cards lie with BTC, which has seen significant growth since Trump’s victory. The investor believed that the king crypto could attract younger generations while still embracing people who have never explored crypto before.
