    4. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson expressed concern over the underestimation of Bitcoin by traditional financial institutions.

    Speech at Jackson Hole Symposium

    Speaking at the Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming, Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson stated that traditional financial institutions are underestimating the massive scale of Bitcoin. Johnson mentioned that she spends 30% of her daily work researching innovative technologies.

    We have an entire industry that runs almost parallel to traditional finance and ignores the huge cryptocurrency ecosystem. What's crazy to me and what I can't understand is that the traditional financial sector has no idea about the amount and volume of money circulating in the Bitcoin and crypto space. Despite Bitcoin's size, TradFi still ignores BTC.Jenny Johnson

    Comparison with Traditional Payment Systems

    Johnson pointed out that traditional financial institutions have no idea about the size and volume of Bitcoin. According to her, $36.6 trillion worth of transactions were made on the Bitcoin blockchain last year. Comparing Visa and Mastercard to Bitcoin transactions, the famous CEO noted that global payment networks Mastercard and Visa carried out transactions of $9 trillion and $14.8 trillion respectively. She highlighted, 'Bitcoin's transaction volume doubled the total transaction volume of Mastercard and Visa in 2023.'
