This essay provides an extensive comparative analysis of Bitcoin-related services among three major US banks—Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, and Citibank—focusing on their business development, application conditions, and customer security protection mechanisms. By understanding the different approaches these banks take in handling Bitcoin services, the analysis sheds light on emerging trends in the banking sector's approach to cryptocurrency, customer risk assessment, and the growing importance of digital asset security. The study aims to present a comprehensive overview, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each bank in terms of their engagement with Bitcoin while also providing strategic recommendations for enhancing the overall Bitcoin service landscape in traditional banking.
