JPMorgan has officially migrated its encrypted deposit product, JPM Coin (JPMD), from Kinexys, a private permissioned blockchain, to Base — Ethereum’s Layer-2 network developed by Coinbase. This strategic move reflects the increasing demand from institutional clients for blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
Through Base, JPMorgan aims to enhance real-time payment efficiency, collateral management, and margin settlement, while maintaining high standards of security and compliance. This transition allows JPM Coin to interact more flexibly with decentralized applications and on-chain liquidity, providing superior connectivity and scalability compared to the previously closed blockchain environment.
This step clearly indicates a trend among major financial institutions gradually integrating with the public blockchain ecosystem, rather than relying solely on private ledgers, bridging traditional finance with the rapidly growing digital asset economy.
