Financial analyst and strategist Tom Lee stated Monday that Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) will play a crucial role in the banking sector&#8217;s future, highlighting the rationale for buying and holding the second-largest cryptocurrency in reserves.
What Happened: During a CNBC interview, Lee was confident that financial behemoths such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) and JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) would use Ethereum to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/06/45998961/ethereum-l2-chosen-for-jpmorgans-new-step-in-public-blockchain-space">power their stablecoin offerings</a>.
&#8220;Ethereum is also the architecture that future banks will have. When Goldman issues a stablecoin and JPMorgan doing it on Ethereum, as a Layer-1 blockchain they&#8217;re going to want to secure it by staking Ethereum,&#8221; Lee said. &#8220;We&#8217;re trying to get in front.&#8221;

Lee announced his new role as chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMNR#AMEX">BMNR</a>), a small-cap Bitcoin mining firm that will transition to an Ethereum-focused treasury company, adopting ETH as its primary reserve asset.
He said that the company wants to &#8220;get in front&#8221; of the impending ETH accumulation by Wall Street giants.
BitMine shares skyrocketed on Monday, closing at $33.90, up 694%. As of this writing, the stock had an average Value rating and a poor Momentum.

Why It Matters: Ethereum works on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-stake-ethereum-eth#:~:text=What%20is%20Ethereum%20Staking%3F,have%20control%20over%20your%20money.">proof-of-stake model</a> where users contribute to the network&#8217;s security by staking ETH. It also lets users earn rewards in return.
Moreover, due to its smart contract capabilities and its role as a leading platform for decentralized finance applications, it plays a significant role in powering stablecoins. According to <a href="https://defillama.com/stablecoins/chains">DeFiLlama</a>, it has a stablecoin market capitalization exceeding $126 billion, the highest among all networks.
Price Action:  At the time of writing, ETH was exchanging hands at $2,482.94, down 0.85% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

10 Financials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Barclays (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCS#NYSE">BCS</a>) and its former CEO Jes Staley will have to defend themselves in a U.S. court over accusations that they misled shareholders about Staley's relationship with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45786407/jeffrey-epsteins-40-million-bet-on-peter-thiels-capital-firm-is-now-worth-170-million-but-his-victims-probably-wont-see-a-dime">late financier Jeffrey Epstein</a>.
A federal judge in Los Angeles ruled that there was sufficient ground for the case to proceed, allowing investors to pursue claims that the bank and its former chief intentionally concealed key information to safeguard Barclays&#8217; reputation and stock value, Reuters reported.
The class-action lawsuit, led by pension funds from New York and St. Louis, focuses on the period between July 22, 2019, shortly after Epstein's arrest, and October 12, 2023. 
Investors argue that Barclays continued to make misleading public statements even after the bank discovered emails suggesting Staley had described Epstein as being &#8220;like family.&#8221;
The complaint points to repeated assurances from Barclays indicating Staley's interactions with Epstein were strictly professional. 
Shareholders also challenge statements suggesting the British Financial Conduct Authority's investigation was limited to whether Staley knew about Epstein's alleged crimes, and not whether he witnessed them.
While U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong allowed the core fraud claims against Barclays and Staley to proceed, she limited some parts of the case brought against Barclays Chairman Nigel Higgins.

Neither Staley's legal team nor lawyers representing Barclays and Higgins provided comments when contacted on Thursday. 
The attorneys representing the shareholders also declined to immediately respond.
Jes Staley, who served as Barclays CEO from 2015 until 2021 and was previously a senior executive at JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), lost his appeal in London on Thursday against a potential ban from the financial sector. 
The UK's Financial Conduct Authority had proposed the ban last year, accusing him of misleading regulators about the nature of his Epstein connections. 
Staley has consistently denied knowing about Epstein's criminal activities and said he had no memory of certain compromising emails.
Epstein, arrested on sex trafficking charges in July 2019, died in his Manhattan jail cell five weeks later.
The case is Merritt v. Barclays Plc et al., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California under case number 23-09217.

Barclays Faces Epstein Fallout As Former CEO Faces Trial

Strategists from JPMorgan have voiced concerns that the much-awaited Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts might not be as beneficial for stocks as investors hope.
What Happened:  JPMorgan strategists, led by Mislav Matejka, observed a growing anticipation of interest rate cuts from the Fed. However, they caution that the reasons behind these cuts might not bode well for stocks, according to a <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-wrong-kind-of-fed-rate-cuts-are-coming-says-jpmorgan-what-that-means-for-stocks-bonds-and-the-dollar-2d31c6e1?mod=home_ln">MarketWatch</a> report.
The strategists outlined three possible scenarios for the rate cuts. The first is a situation where the Fed cuts rates due to a clear weakening of economic activity. The second scenario, referred to as the &#8220;Goldilocks&#8221; case, features robust growth alongside mild inflation, with no strain on consumer purchasing power. The third scenario involves rate cuts despite emerging inflation, possibly due to pressure from the U.S. administration for lower rates.
The strategists predict a blend of the first and third scenarios, where activity is slowing but inflation is on the rise. They caution that investors might be disappointed if this outlook materializes. They also noted that the dollar typically weakens into the cuts and continues to fall afterwards, while bond yields move lower.
&#8220;Historically, whenever the Fed resumed its easing cycle following a pause, the dollar tended to weaken and continue declining, while bond yields also dropped,&#8221; noted JPMorgan strategists. They now anticipate the U.S. dollar hitting &#8220;new lows in most scenarios&#8221; and expect U.S. bond yields to fall as well.
They also predict that emerging market stocks will perform well when the Fed eases, and are reiterating their overweight on the region.

Why It Matters: The Fed&#8217;s decision to cut interest rates is contingent on various factors. Fed Chair Jerome Powell recently stated that while inflation has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46077396/powell-interest-rates-trump-inflation-tariffs">cooled </a>from its 2022 peak, it remains &#8220;somewhat elevated,&#8221; and the central bank is not ready to adjust interest rates yet. However, a &#8220;significant majority&#8221; of committee members expect to cut rates later this year.
One of the factors influencing the Fed&#8217;s decision is inflation data. Funsdtrat&#8217;s Tom Lee <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46088808/tom-lee-on-why-feds-holding-back-while-europe-eases-aggressively-thats-the-upside-opportunity-into-year-end">explained </a>that the European Central Bank&#8217;s decision to cut interest rates is linked to how it calculates core inflation—excluding housing costs. This differs from the U.S., where housing plays a significant role in inflation data. If the U.S. used Europe&#8217;s approach, its core CPI would appear lower than Europe&#8217;s, potentially justifying rate cuts.
Furthermore, the Fed&#8217;s decision on interest rates could be influenced by the next&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46115346/trump-powell-fed-chairman-odds-dollar">Federal Reserve chair</a>. President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s shortlist for the next Fed chair is heating up, fueling bets on deep rate cuts, pressuring the dollar, and reigniting concerns over the Fed&#8217;s independence.

Fed Rate Cuts May Not Be A Win For Stocks, Warns JPMorgan — Expects Dollar And Bond Yields To Fall

The Federal Reserve announced on Friday that all 22 of the nation&#8217;s largest banks successfully passed its 2025 stress test, maintaining adequate capital buffers even under a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/06/46125160/expert-outlook-bank-of-america-through-the-eyes-of-15-analysts" rel="noreferrer noopener">hypothetical recession scenario</a>. However, analysts noted that this year&#8217;s exam was less demanding than previous iterations, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/big-banks-all-pass-less-vigorous-federal-reserves-stress-tests.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The central bank&#8217;s simulated downturn included milder assumptions compared to 2024—featuring smaller declines in housing and commercial real estate prices, a more moderate unemployment spike, and reduced overall market disruption.

The report adds that these factors likely contributed to the more favorable outcomes for major financial institutions.
Michelle Bowman, the Fed&#8217;s newly appointed vice chair for supervision and a President Donald Trump appointee, said in a statement, &#8220;Large banks remain well capitalized and resilient to a range of severe outcomes,&#8221; CNBC adds
The scenario estimated roughly $550 billion in total losses across the tested firms, yet all remained above regulatory minimums.
Unlike last year&#8217;s exam, which included steeper declines and more severe economic pain points, the 2025 version omitted deeper stress on private equity holdings and did not evaluate exposure to private credit markets—a rapidly growing $2 trillion segment.
Fed officials offered limited explanation for the shift, only citing past volatility in test outcomes and a plan to seek public input for future revisions.
Notably absent from the 2025 methodology was any direct testing of bank vulnerabilities to private credit. Despite recent warnings from Fed researchers—including the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston—about the systemic risks private credit could pose in a sharp downturn, the Fed&#8217;s stress test documents made no reference to the sector.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), and Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) were among those that cleared the exam.
Their solid performance positions them to resume capital return programs, including dividend payouts and share buybacks, with announcements expected next week, the report adds.

10 Financials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

"Look how they train to be that good," JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon <a href="https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2025/05/22/will-jamie-dimon-build-the-first-trillion-dollar-bank">told</a> The Economist last month, arguing that CEOs should mirror the discipline of Serena Williams, and Stephen Curry.&nbsp;

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella called Palantir Technologies Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) Forward Deployed Engineer model &#8220;fantastic&#8221; at a Y Combinator event, prompting industry debate about the data analytics company&#8217;s unique approach to product development.
What Happened: Chad Wahlquist, Forward Deployed Architect at Palantir, responded to Nadella&#8217;s comments on X, rejecting misconceptions about the FDE model. &#8220;Many mistakenly believe the FDE model is just a new name for a change management consulting model. False,&#8221; Wahlquist wrote.
The FDE approach places engineers directly with customers to build products at the point of need rather than relying on traditional consulting methodologies. 
&#8220;FDEs build the product customers need, when they need it, at the edge,&#8221; Wahlquist explained. &#8220;The feedback loop from FDEs experiencing customer pain at the edge and turning it into product allows us to cycle and build the right product much faster.&#8221;

This methodology differs significantly from traditional enterprise software sales cycles. Where companies like Salesforce Inc.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) rely on lengthy relationship-building processes, Palantir embeds technical experts directly with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45738764/garry-tan-says-founders-must-build-with-customers-to-compete-with-giants-like-salesforce-oracle-you-cant-farm-this-out">clients using its Foundry platform</a>.
Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan, who worked at Palantir from 2005 to 2007, previously outlined how FDEs sit with clients like FBI agents <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45738764/garry-tan-says-founders-must-build-with-customers-to-compete-with-giants-like-salesforce-oracle-you-cant-farm-this-out">investigating domestic terrorism</a>, observing actual workflows. &#8220;Instead of the next meeting being reviewing 50 pages of sales documentation, it&#8217;s literally like &#8216;Okay we built it,'&#8221; Tan said on the Lightcone Podcast.

Why It Matters: The model&#8217;s effectiveness has attracted attention from major financial institutions. JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. CEO Jamie Dimon recalled his 2012 encounter with Palantir: &#8220;I remember sitting down with the Palantir people and going through this AI thing saying holy Christ this is this is unbelievable.&#8221; 
JPMorgan subsequently established its own AI department and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45897537/jamie-dimon-recalls-first-palantir-meeting-holy-christ-this-is-unbelievable-jpmorgan-now-has-600-ai-use-cases-2-billion-annual-investment-on-ai">now invests $2 billion annually in artificial intelligence</a> across 600 active use cases.

JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, KKR And A Tech Stock On CNBC's 'Final Trades'

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is advocating for a 32-hour workweek, citing the potential for advancements in artificial intelligence and automation to provide workers with more personal time.
What Happened: Sanders, in a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, outlined his vision for a future where AI and automation drive increased productivity and efficiency, leading to reduced working hours for employees. &#8220;Instead of throwing you out on the street, I&#8217;m going to reduce your workweek to 32 hours,&#8221; Sanders stated.

The Vermont senator underscored the potential benefits of technology for workers, suggesting it could offer more time for family, friends and education. 
Sanders introduced the &#8220;Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act&#8221; last year, which mandates overtime pay for any work beyond 32 hours in a week. The proposed change would be gradually implemented over a four-year period.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;&nbsp;The proposal comes at a time when the impact of AI and automation on the workforce is a hot topic.

Bernie Sanders Slams Job Cuts, Says AI Should Give Workers More Time Off: 'Instead Of Throwing You Out On The Street...'

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index fell 0.1% month-over-month in May, marking its sixth consecutive monthly decline and signaling intensifying recession risks for the U.S. economy.
What Happened: The index has declined in 37 of the last 39 months, representing one of the worst streaks on record since 1960, according to data shared by The Kobeissi Letter. The LEI has dropped at a 5% annualized rate over the past six months, falling below the threshold that historically signals an impending recession.
The index now sits 16% below its peak and has reached its lowest level in nine years. Historically, such prolonged LEI declines have preceded every U.S. recession since 1960.

US Recession Risk Rises As Leading Economic Index Falls Again In May: 37 Declines In 39 Months Mark Worst Streak Since 1960

President Donald Trump's bid to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has shifted at least $18 billion in costs onto consumers through higher bank fees and canceled restitution, two advocacy groups said Tuesday.
What Happened: The Student Borrower Protection Center and the Consumer Federation of America calculated the hit by tallying policies the administration halted since Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent froze <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43451675/bessent-freezes-consumer-financial-protection-bureau-work-leaving-lawsuits-against-jpmorgan-bank-of-america-capital-one-in-limbo">most CFPB activity</a> in February.
In a statement shared with Reuters, they say scrapping Obama and Biden-era plans to cap <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44833509/judge-strikes-down-biden-era-rule-capping-credit-card-late-fees-at-8">credit-card late fees</a> at $8 and overdraft charges at $5 will alone cost consumers about $15 billion a year.
The CFPB has also dropped or settled 22 enforcement cases inherited from the prior administration, including actions against JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Wells Fargo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) and Capital One (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>), covering another $3 billion in alleged harm.
Earlier this month, CFPB lawyers quietly voided redress agreements with Toyota's lending arm and a major payments processor, erasing roughly $50 million owed to borrowers, the groups said.

Why It Matters: The watchdog groups urged Congress to restore the fee caps and reopen canceled cases, warning that each month of inaction transfers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44353947/trumps-cfpb-overhaul-leaves-consumers-exposed-heres-what-it-means-for-your-money">billions from families</a> to financial giants.
Trump has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44028664/trump-says-he-shut-down-the-ultra-left-cfpb-after-bankers-and-loan-officers-called-him-almost-crying">called the CFPB</a> an "ultra-left" agency and boasted he "shut it down after bankers were almost crying," according to a February interview. Administration allies argue the bureau overreached and stifled free enterprise. According to Reuters, Senate Republicans recently tried to <a href="https://punchbowl.news/bills-119hconres14pp/">defund</a> it in a sweeping tax bill before parliamentarians stripped the provision for violating budget rules.
Consumer advocates counter that households are absorbing higher costs just as real wages lag inflation and the Fed holds rates near two-decade highs. Meanwhile, analysts reveal that the regulatory freeze could boost lender profits and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/02/43637114/regulatory-freeze-at-cfpb-these-etfs-could-gain-as-oversight-weakens">certain financial-sector ETFs</a> as oversight weakens.

Trump's Move To Gut Financial Protection Agency Could Cost Consumers $15 Billion A Year, Say Advocacy Groups

CNBC Halftime Report Final Trades: JP Morgan Chase & Co, Apollo Global Management, Morgan Stanley, Amphenol

Demonstrates How Quantum-Secure Stablecoin Models for JPMorgan, Tether, Circle, and Others Enter The Quantum future
<ul>
<li>Quantum-Safe Stablecoin Infrastructure: BTQ unveils the Quantum Stablecoin Settlement Network (QSSN), a next-generation framework in development to help banks, payment providers, and digital asset platforms issue and manage stablecoins with built-in protection against quantum-era cybersecurity threats. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Demonstration of JPMorgan Use Case: BTQ demonstrates how QSSN could enable a quantum-secure version of JPMorgan's proposed USD deposit token (JPMD), allowing privileged minting, burning, and administrative controls to meet U.S. federal quantum-resilience mandates without altering existing token standards or user workflows. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Market Opportunity and BTQ Positioning: With global stablecoin adoption surpassing $225 billion and regulatory timelines accelerating for quantum-proof financial infrastructure, QSSN positions BTQ as a critical technology provider for secure, scalable stablecoin and tokenized asset markets. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Policy Leadership: With the GENIUS Act advancing toward federal approval, digitized money is poised to become a formal part of the financial system. BTQ will leverage its decade of collaboration with NIST to propose technical standards that ensure stablecoins and digital currencies are quantum-secure by design and mandated by law.</li>

BTQ Unveils Quantum-Safe Stablecoin Network To Support JPMorgan, Tether, Circle Amid Rising Regulatory Push For Quantum-Resilient Financial Infrastructure

Steve Eisman, the investor widely known for his role in shorting the subprime mortgage market before the 2008 financial crisis, says the U.S. banking landscape is increasingly consolidating into the hands of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/06/45998961/ethereum-l2-chosen-for-jpmorgans-new-step-in-public-blockchain-space">few large banks</a>.
What Happened: Speaking on a financial podcast on Monday, Eisman <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvgCvJvAooE">highlighted</a> the growing concentration of deposits among major institutions like JPMorgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), which he said are steadily dominating the American banking sector.
Eisman noted that JPMorgan's share of U.S. deposits has risen from 7% in 2007 to nearly 14% today. 
"There are a couple of reasons for that," Eisman said. 
He pointed to the high costs of regulation and rapidly increasing technology expenses as key drivers that favor large banks. 
According to Eisman, these factors make it difficult for smaller and mid-sized banks to compete.
"If we do nothing, and we keep the current policies, and there's no M&amp;A wave, what's going to happen is JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, and a handful of others will continue to take market share," Eisman said. 
He explained that, under this scenario, smaller regional banks could gradually lose competitiveness, leaving a system dominated by a few megabanks and some small community banks.
"I would like more [banks], I don't want to be Canada, where it's basically a cartel," Eisman said, referring to Canada's highly concentrated banking system. 
He stressed that the U.S. should encourage mergers among regional banks like Comerica and U.S. Bank to ensure they can afford the scale and technology necessary to remain viable.
Eisman emphasized that large banks' ability to absorb compliance and technology costs gives them a structural advantage. Without regional consolidation, Eisman said, "the other regional banks are going to wither on the vine."

Why It Matters: On the broader financial sector, Eisman expressed positive views on large-cap banks like JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley in the absence of a trade war.
He said these firms are well-positioned to benefit from deregulation, a recovery in IPO activity, and increased M&amp;A transactions.
Eisman advised focusing on firms like Visa (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Mastercard (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) within the payments sector and said he prefers to avoid other payment companies, which he described as "all going after each other's space."
On smaller banks, Eisman said he currently does not own any regional bank stocks but suggested there could be an opportunity if policy shifts enable consolidation.
Eisman's commentary also touched on the historical trajectory of the U.S. financial system post-crisis. 
He explained that after the passage of Dodd-Frank, significant deleveraging took place across major banks.
He pointed out that Citigroup's leverage ratio dropped from 35:1 to 10:1 between 2011 and 2016.
"Your return on equity is going down" when leverage declines to that extent, Eisman said, underscoring why financial stocks have not delivered sustained outperformance in the post-crisis era.
Eisman stressed that structural changes, rather than isolated stock-specific events, are driving the industry's evolution. 
He noted that if consolidation among mid-sized banks does not happen, large banks are likely to continue increasing their dominance, reshaping the competitive dynamics of U.S. banking.

'Big Short' Investor Eisman Warns JPMorgan, Wells Fargo Domination Squeezes Regional Banks

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) chief executive Jamie Dimon says U.S. companies are short on workers who can code software, secure networks and run complex projects.
What Happened: "We are short on labor," Dimon <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/23/jpmorgan-chase-ceo-jamie-dimon-in-demand-skills-gen-z-cyber-coding-computer-science-project-management/">told</a> the Business Roundtable's CEO Workforce Forum. "We all have needs for cyber, we all have needs for coding, we all have needs for programming … financial management and program management, things like that."
Dimon's remarks cut against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041419/sam-altman-says-ai-will-make-his-kids-more-capable-not-more-intelligent-my-kids-will-never-be-smarte">forecasts</a> of an entry-level "bloodbath" as artificial-intelligence tools automate routine office tasks. He argued the bottleneck is skills, not head count, and urged schools to embed industry credentials in their curriculum so graduates can "get out and get a good job."
"Too much focus in education has been on graduating college," he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAHfdX4rsMw">told</a> Indianapolis TV last year. "It should be on jobs."
Dimon, who is also a board member of the New York Jobs CEO Council, also highlighted how some educational institutions are collaborating with the private sector to create programs that improve job readiness.

Why It Matters: Dimon's sentiment comes as young graduates enter a workforce where automation and AI are rapidly displacing entry-level positions.
Chris Hyams, the CEO of popular job-search platform Indeed, recently warned that "for about two-thirds of all jobs, 50% or more of those skills are things that today's generative AI can do reasonably well, or very well." Citing a study, which dissected roughly two million postings skill by skill, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45511651/ai-wont-steal-your-paycheck-yet-two-thirds-of-all-jobs-have-half-their-skills-up-for-grabs-says-indeed-ceo-chris-hyams">Hyams' blunt takeaway</a> is that "pretty much every job is going to change if it's not changing already."
Demis Hassabis, CEO of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) subsidiary Google&#8217;s DeepMind, is also of the opinion that while AI is displacing certain jobs, it will also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45740298/googles-demis-hassabis-says-ai-natives-have-very-valuable-jobs-waiting-for-them-but-they-need-to-study-these-subjects-at-school">create new ones</a>. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg forsees AI evolving into a &#8220;midlevel engineer&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45338301/zuckerberg-foresees-tech-industry-revolution-with-ai-an-ai-that-can-effectively-be-a-sort-of-midlevel-engineer">capable of writing code</a>, enabling small, talent-dense teams to develop high-quality products.
