JPMorgan’s Kinexys unit is preparing to deploy its US dollar deposit token, known as JPM Coin, natively on the Canton Network. The move would extend the bank’s digital cash offering beyond its proprietary infrastructure and recent pilots on Base, aligning with a broader multi-chain approach to institutional blockchain payments.
JPM Coin represents a digital claim on JPMorgan deposits and is designed for wholesale clients seeking faster settlement and around-the-clock liquidity. By targeting Canton, a public but institution-focused blockchain, JPMorgan aims to combine regulated bank money with interoperable blockchain rails used for tokenized assets and synchronized settlement workflows.
The initiative reflects growing demand among financial institutions for onchain cash that can integrate with tokenized securities and other digital markets. For Canton, the partnership adds credibility as banks explore public blockchains under regulatory oversight. For JPMorgan, it signals a gradual shift from closed systems toward shared infrastructure without relinquishing control over compliance and risk management.
