JPMorgan’s Kinexys unit is taking JPM Coin beyond its existing rails, planning a native launch of the US dollar deposit token on the Canton Network.
Digital Asset, the creator of the Canton Network, and Kinexys by JPMorgan plan to bring USD JPM Coin (JPMD) natively to the Canton Network, extending the bank’s deposit token from its existing infrastructure onto a public, institutional-grade blockchain.
The bank has already begun deploying JPM Coin on Coinbase’s Base network for institutional clients as part of a pilot, and has indicated it plans to support additional public blockchains over time, making Canton another leg in a multi-chain strategy.
According to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph, JPM Coin by Kinexys Digital Payments is “the first bank‑issued, USD‑denominated deposit token” designed for institutional clients and represents a digital claim on JPMorgan US dollar deposits on distributed ledger infrastructure.
