JPMorgan Chase just reported a solid quarter—profits jumped 9% in Q4, though the numbers took a hit from integrating the Apple Card acquisition. This is worth watching for folks tracking institutional capital moves in financial services. When legacy banking giants post earnings like this, it signals where traditional finance is allocating resources and where the institutional attention is flowing. The Apple Card deal cost them some margin this round, but the underlying business momentum shows these titans aren't slowing down. Market watchers are already parsing what this means for the broader fintech landscape and how traditional institutions are positioning themselves in the evolving financial ecosystem.

Apple Card drag can still achieve 9% growth, the confidence of traditional financial giants is truly strong

JPMorgan is still holding on, a 9% profit increase is considered big news? Apple Card, this deal doesn't seem as attractive as it seemed.

Traditional finance is still expanding everywhere, and we're still here discussing when true decentralization will happen.

JPMorgan Chase is still JPMorgan Chase, even Apple Card can't beat it... The scale of traditional finance is indeed terrifying.

JPMorgan is fooling people again. A 9% increase sounds good, but is that all the progress after trimming the ends? These old foxes in traditional finance are still stubbornly guarding their turf. They can't even get the Apple Card right, so why should they play with Web3? Profit margins are being squeezed and they keep holding on stubbornly. They will be overturned sooner or later. Wait, how much of these numbers are water? I never fully trust bank financial reports; the real logic behind them is what really matters. JPM is copying others, but they can never get the point. That's the core issue. What are they hiding behind the excuse of the Apple Card? Feels like the story isn't finished. 9% sounds impressive, but in reality, it's even lower than my mining returns. LOL.

JPMorgan Chase is at it again, with a 9% growth that sounds good, but the deal with Apple Card clearly bets on the future of fintech. Traditional finance is still trying to acquire innovation, which shows they've been panicking for a while.
