JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has walked back his forecast of an economic "hurricane" somewhat, saying the megabank continues to hire despite layoffs in the sector.

In an interview on 10 January at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference, Dimon also unleashed some fresh barbs against cryptocurrencies and criticised the crypto-trading platform FTX, which filed for bankruptcy late last year.
