The JPM Coin token represents US dollar deposits held at JPMorgan and allows institutional clients to conduct 24/7, near-instant payments using blockchain rails instead of traditional clearing systems. The launch follows JPMorgan’s earlier pilot program with Mastercard, Coinbase, and B2C2, which tested interoperability between banks and blockchain ecosystems for settlement efficiency.

JPMorgan’s blockchain unit, Onyx, designed the system to streamline cross-border payments and liquidity transfers, leveraging Ethereum’s smart contracts.

On Nov. 11, JPMorgan announced a separate partnership with DBS Bank to pilot tokenized deposit transfers, further signaling its intent to expand blockchain integration across global financial networks.

The bank is also developing a euro-denominated version (JPME), pending regulatory approval in the European Union. Global Head of the global co-head of JPMorgan’s blockchain division Kinexys, Mallela Naveen confirmed a trademark “JPME” filing for the potential euro-denominated token.
