JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s UK digital bank is blocking customers from engaging in cryptocurrency transactions, citing a rise in fraudulent activities and scams, per Bloomberg. Starting from October 16, Chase UK clients won’t be able to use their debit cards or initiate outgoing bank transfers for cryptocurrency transactions, as mentioned in an email to customers. This decision aims to protect customers from potential crypto-related risks.
