The Node: JPM's BTC Lending Play
The Financial Times reports that JPMorgan, the world's biggest bank, is looking into issuing crypto-backed loans, meaning that its clients may soon be able to pledge bitcoin, ether, or some other token to borrow dollars. The news is notable for a couple of reasons. Crypto folks love pointing out that Jamie Dimon, the bank's chief executive, famously said in 2017 that he'd fire any employee caught trading bitcoin for being 'stupid,' so JPMorgan considering the issuance of such a product (and getting involved with stablecoins) is seen as vindication by some in the industry. More interesting is what JPMorgan's move could end up meaning for crypto lending. The Bank of Dimon isn't the first TradFi firm to look into crypto-backed loans (Cantor Fitzgerald announced a similar program last July) but it's certainly the largest. At the end of 2024, the crypto lending market stood at $36.5 billion, down 43% from its $64.4 billion peak at the height of the 2021 bull run. The lending sector was dominated by Tether, followed by Galaxy Digital and Ledn. Together, the three firms accounted for 90% of $11.2 billion outstanding loans (excluding DeFi, which saw $19.1 billion in borrowings across 20 applications and 12 blockchains). I'm sure these numbers need updating, considering how many crypto native firms have announced their entry into the market since then — Coinbase, Strike, Xapo Bank, Lava, Onramp and Arch, and even real-estate focused Propy, to name a few. The growth of the sector is great for consumers because it will force interest rates on crypto-backed loans to drop significantly, Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, co-founder of bitcoin lender Ledn, told CoinDesk in an interview back in April. 'It's a seller's market right now,' he said. 'We are lending out dollars fully collateralized at north of 12.5%, with zero losses over seven years. Banks are going to look at this and say 'Wow, this is a great rate of return.' One bank will come in with 12% interest. Another will do 10%. Another says 9%. So this is going to compress, and compress.' Down the line, such loans could become competitive with home equity or personal lines of credit, Di Bartolomeo said. Even better, rates wouldn't simply drop in Western countries with efficient banking systems, but all over the globe. 'Gold in a vault in Switzerland is not gold in a vault in Venezuela, but bitcoin in Colombia is bitcoin in Madrid is bitcoin anywhere in the world. As an underwriter, I have uniform collateral,' Di Bartolomeo said. JPMorgan's foray into the sector takes us one step closer towards fulfilling that vision. Sign in to access your portfolio

Gen Z men with college degrees now have the same unemployment rate as non-grads—a sign that the higher education payoff is dead
Gen Z is increasingly slamming their degrees as useless, and new research indicates there may be some truth when it comes to the job hunt. In fact, the unemployment rate of males aged 22 to 27 is roughly the same, whether or not they hold a degree. It comes as employers drop degree requirements and young men ditch corporate jobs for skilled trades. Gen Z is struggling to break into the entry-level job market—but young male college graduates may be hurting the most. The most recent data from the Federal Reserve indicates that the unemployment rate among recent college graduates is on the rise, at about 5.5%. Although it remains lower than the 6.9% rate among all young workers between 22 and 27 years old, men with a college degree now have roughly the same unemployment rate as young men who didn't go to college, according to an analysis of U.S. Current Population Survey data by the Financial Times. In comparison, around 2010, non-college-educated men experienced unemployment rates over 15%, whereas the rate among college graduates was closer to 7%. It's a stark sign that the job market boost once promised by a degree has all but vanished—and that employers care less about credentials than they once did, when hiring for entry-level roles. Young men and women are facing diverging employment rates While 7% of college-educated American men are unemployed, for women this drops to around 4%, according to the Financial Times analysis, and the growth in fields like healthcare are likely to credit. Over the next decade, healthcare occupations are projected to grow much faster than the rate for all occupations, translating to about 1.9 million openings each year—according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Moreover, the industry is largely considered to be among the safest from any sort of cyclical changes: 'Healthcare is a classic recession-resistant industry because medical care is always in demand,' Priya Rathod, career expert at Indeed, previously told Fortune. Men and women also tend to differ on whether they'd be willing to accept a job that doesn't quite fit into their career goals. 'Women tend to be more flexible in accepting job offers, even if they're not perfectly aligned with their career goals or are part-time or they are overqualified for,' Lewis Maleh, CEO of the global recruitment agency Bentley Lewis, previously told Fortune. 'Men, on the other hand, often hold out for roles that align more closely with their ideal career path or offer what they perceive as adequate compensation and status.' Gen Z men are skipping college—and turning to the skilled trade industry Many Gen Zers have learned the hard way about the challenges of today's job market. In fact, some 11% of all young people are considered NEET—meaning not in employment, education, or training. And while there are a myriad of reasons why they might have lost interest in work or education, for those who are college-educated, the struggles often come down to feeling hopeless after months—or years—on the job search. Young men in particular are especially seen as falling into this category of NEET. But some young people have seen the writing on the wall and decided to change paths. The overall share of young college students has declined by about 1.2 million between 2011 and 2022, according to Pew Research Center analysis. But this decline has a stark gender divide, with there being about 1 million fewer men and about 200,000 fewer women students. Part of this shift may be credited to the rise in skilled trade career paths—which tend to be male-dominated. Enrollment at two-year vocational public schools have increased by about 20% since 2020, a net increase of over 850,000 students, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. It's a trend that even billionaires have suggested will be a growing part of the future. Daniel Lubetzky, the founder of KIND bars and the newest judge on Shark Tank says that vocational careers, like being a carpenter or mechanic, are 'huge opportunities that pay really, really well.' 'Vocational training and learning how to be a carpenter or a mechanic or any of those jobs is a huge field with huge opportunities that pays really, really well,' Lubetzky told Fortune earlier this month. 'For those people that have great ideas or great opportunities and don't want to go to college, I don't think college is an end-all, be-all or required thing.'
