JPMorgan Asset Management sees Bitcoin beating stocks, but with a big catch
Economic Times 1 hr ago·21 Oct 2026, 12:41 am
JPMorgan Asset Management has for the first time included Bitcoin in its long‑term capital market assumptions, projecting it could deliver about 10% annualised return over the next ten years.
The firm also flags that Bitcoin’s price swings are expected to average around 55% per year, a level of volatility far higher than most equity or bond indices. That high volatility can erode the risk‑adjusted appeal of the digital asset, which is why JPMorgan has kept it out of its core portfolio models for now.
Investors should watch whether JPMorgan’s outlook influences other large managers, and monitor any changes in Bitcoin’s price behaviour or regulatory environment that could shift its risk‑return profile in the coming months.
