JPMorgan, Coinbase to Enable Crypto Buys With Cards, Points and Bank Accounts

JPMorgan is partnering with Coinbase to let its customers buy crypto using bank accounts, credit cards and Chase rewards points.

Credit card support is set for fall 2025, while points redemptions and bank account linking will arrive in 2026. Chase customers will be able to redeem 100 Ultimate Rewards points for $1 in USDC on Coinbase’s Base network.

Coinbase said this marks the first time a major U.S. rewards program will enable crypto purchases. The partnership gives JPMorgan’s 80 million customers more direct access to digital assets.

Trump’s White House Releases Crypto Strategy, But Bitcoin Reserve Details Still Missing

The Trump administration has released its most detailed crypto policy plan to date, but skipped over any fresh insight into a proposed federal bitcoin reserve.

The 163-page strategy document outlines President Donald Trump’s vision for making the U.S. a global crypto leader. 

It includes support for stablecoin oversight under the GENIUS Act and calls on regulators to act even without new laws in place. But it offers few surprises and omits specifics about the long-teased idea of a government-run crypto reserve.

That reserve, floated earlier by Trump’s advisers, would hold seized or acquired digital assets like BTC and potentially other cryptocurrencies. Yet the initiative is only briefly mentioned on the final page of the document, without detail or timeline. Officials said more information is coming but offered no date.

Robinhood Tops Q2 Estimates as Crypto Revenue Doubles

Robinhood beat second-quarter earnings expectations, powered by a sharp rise in crypto trading and early gains from its recent acquisitions.

The trading app posted $0.42 in adjusted earnings per share, ahead of analyst forecasts of $0.31. Total revenue jumped 45% year-over-year to $989 million, also beating estimates, according to FactSet.

Crypto was a standout. The company reported $160 million in crypto trading revenue, nearly double the $81 million from a year earlier, fueled by $28.3 billion in transaction volume.

“We launched tokenization—which I believe is the biggest innovation our industry has seen in the past decade,” CEO Vlad Tenev said in a statement.

The strong quarter comes after Robinhood moved aggressively into the crypto space. In June, it bought Bitstamp, one of the longest-running crypto exchanges, for $200 million.

It followed that with a $179 million deal to acquire WonderFi, a Canadian platform. Both moves expand Robinhood’s regulatory reach across North America and into Europe.

Robinhood also rolled out tokenized stocks and ETFs, letting users trade blockchain-based fractions of traditional assets.
