J.P. Morgan Asset Management's 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions forecast a base-case annual return of 10% for Bitcoin over the next 10 years, ahead of U.S. large-cap stocks (7.5%), U.S. REITs (8.2%) and gold (5.5%). The forecast comes with 55% annualized volatility, compared with 18% for U.S. large caps, and the bear and bull cases are annual losses of 11.2% and gains of 16.6%. JPMorgan still leaves Bitcoin out of its core portfolio allocation models, calling it speculative and too volatile, with correlations of 0.33 to U.S. large caps and 0.10 to gold. The firm says Bitcoin could play a larger role if volatility falls, correlations stabilize and regulation becomes clearer. At the time of the article, Bitcoin was trading around $81,400, down over 1%.

- JPMorgan projects Bitcoin to outperform US stocks and gold over next decade
JPMorgan Asset Management included Bitcoin in its 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions report for the first time, projecting a 10% annualized return for Bitcoin over the next decade, versus 7.5% for large-cap US stocks and 5.5% for gold. Its bull case puts Bitcoin's annualized return at 16.6%, while its bear case projects an annualized loss of 11.2%. JPMorgan still does not make a case for Bitcoin as a portfolio diversifier due to unstable market correlations, describing it as a speculative asset and a hedge against monetary easing. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan welcomed the inclusion, and his firm had earlier projected Bitcoin could reach $1.3 million by 2035, with a base-case annualized return of 28.3%.
- JPMorgan Bitcoin Forecast Gives BTC a Major Edge Over US Stocks
In its 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions, released October 19, JPMorgan Asset Management projects a 10% annual compounded return for Bitcoin over 10 to 15 years, its first long-term Bitcoin forecast, above the 7.5% for U.S. large-cap stocks, 8.2% for REITs and 5.5% for gold. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan highlighted the forecast, though the article notes these are modeled estimates rather than a short-term market call. At the same time, JPMorgan assigns Bitcoin 55% annualized volatility, roughly three times the approximately 18% assumed for U.S. large-cap equities and 17.2% for gold. The bank has not added Bitcoin to its main covariance matrices, citing its volatility and unstable correlations with conventional assets, and instead analyzes it in a separate, smaller matrix. For comparison, JPMorgan projects 7% annually for a portfolio of 60% equities and 40% bonds over the same horizon.
- J . P . Morgan Releases 2027 Long - Term Capital Market Assumptions Projecting 7 . 0 % Return for 60 / 40 Portfolio Over 10 - 15 Years
J.P. Morgan Asset Management released its 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions, projecting 10–15-year returns amid elevated inflation uncertainty and market volatility. The forecast annual return for a USD 60/40 stock-bond portfolio rises to 7.0%, and adding 30% in diversified alternatives lifts it to 7.5% with a 21% higher Sharpe ratio. The report credits AI-driven productivity, higher corporate profits and higher real yields for lifting the global aggregate bond forecast to 5.3%, the highest in two decades. The U.S. large cap equity forecast rises 80bps to 7.5%, and developed markets overtake emerging markets for the first time, while diversified hedge funds are upgraded by 140bps. Bitcoin receives a return range but is not included as an allocation.
- JPMorgan Deploys JPM Coin on Ethereum Mainnet — Institutional Stablecoin Payments Go Multi-Chain
JPMorgan has made its JPM Coin, a permissioned USD deposit token, available to institutional clients on the Ethereum mainnet from October 19, 2026, after its initial launch on Base in November 2025. Access is limited to approved counterparties through the Kinexys platform, so the token serves wholesale settlement rather than free circulation. The article says the decision is driven by Ethereum's scale, with nearly $50 billion in crypto assets locked in its applications per DeFiLlama, and the move extends beyond the Kinexys network, which processes more than $7 billion in transactions daily. The timing comes ahead of the GENIUS Act's January 18, 2027 effective date, as institutions need verifiable production track records for their digital asset initiatives. Most major U.S. banks still operate on private networks, which makes JPMorgan's public-mainnet move a differentiator.
- JPMorgan's JPM Coin Arrives on Ethereum, Putting Bank Dollars on a Public Blockchain
JPMorgan has launched JPM Coin on Ethereum for institutional clients, who can redeem it for dollars at any time; the token first launched on Coinbase's Base network in November 2025. Each unit is a deposit token representing a dollar held in a JPMorgan account, and only vetted counterparties can hold it, with crypto firms expected to use it for payments and financial institutions to settle trades and post collateral. Kinexys, the unit behind the token, has handled more than $4 trillion in cumulative transactions and averages about $7 billion a day, versus roughly $12 trillion a day across JPMorgan's wider payments business. The move puts the bank in competition with stablecoin issuers, after a consortium of more than 100 companies including Visa, Stripe and Mastercard launched its own dollar stablecoin last month. JPMorgan, Citigroup and other large banks also plan a shared 24/7 tokenized deposit network as early as the first half of 2027.
- Jamie Dimon slammed crypto. JPMorgan quietly built JPM Coin.
JPMorgan is bringing JPM Coin, a token representing dollar deposits, to Ethereum to offer it to a wider range of institutional clients. According to reporting on the bank's statement, the token supports peer-to-peer transfers across EVM networks, including Base and Ethereum. The coin was previously used on JPMorgan's private blockchain to test settling tokenized deposits and moved to Base last year. The speaker sees this as a positive sign, given the bank's long-standing skepticism toward crypto, and suggests large institutions may use both private and public networks.

- The Federal Reserve Just Warned More Rate Hikes Are Likely Coming. History Has Good and Bad News for Investors
The S&P 500 has climbed roughly 100% since the start of 2023, driven by enthusiasm for AI and growth stocks, but oil-driven inflation has become a headwind. The Fed raised its federal funds rate by a quarter point to 3.75%–4% last month, its first hike in three years, and its minutes warned that another increase is likely. CME FedWatch shows a probability above 88% of a rate increase at the December meeting.

- Holding nearly VND 7,800 billion in cash yet borrowing over VND 4,000 billion: What does Coteccons say about 'keeping money stashed away'?
At Coteccons' (HoSE: CTD) 2026 annual general meeting, a shareholder questioned why the company keeps nearly VND 7,800 billion in cash and deposits while still borrowing over VND 4,000 billion in short-term loans. Deputy CFO Nguyễn Hồng Sơn said the company aims for a safer capital structure, combining short-term loans with VND 1,400 billion in bonds and long-term bank loans, raising the long-term capital share to about 30% and then 60-70%, while building a transparent financial profile to raise capital when needed. On foreign ownership, Coteccons has completed raising the cap to 50% and expects to reach 100% in 2026. For fiscal 2026, net revenue reached VND 34,340 billion (up 38%), after-tax profit VND 788 billion (up 73%), and backlog about VND 70,000 billion.
- Transfer pricing and tax evasion: Raising the filing threshold from VND 200 billion to VND 500 billion – Not every 'transfer pricing' is 'tax evasion'
The Quốc Dân Hiểu Thuế programme, broadcast on October 11, 2026, proposed raising the revenue threshold for exemption from related-party transaction filing from under VND 200 billion to under VND 500 billion, and clarified that transfer pricing is not the same as tax evasion. According to Tô Kim Phượng of the Tax Department, transfer pricing becomes improper only when related-party dealings do not follow market prices and reduce the tax payable. Bùi Ngọc Tuấn of Deloitte Vietnam noted that companies below the threshold must also have no intangible asset transactions within their group and meet net profit margins of 10% for manufacturing, 15% for processing and 5% for distribution. Exemption from filing documentation does not exempt companies from declaring related-party information under Appendix 1 of Decree 132. If documents are deemed unreasonable, tax authorities may set the profit margin and collect additional tax plus a 20% penalty on the amount assessed.
