JPMorgan is set to pilot its dollar-denominated deposit token, JPMD, on Coinbase’s Base blockchain. The trial aims to facilitate instant payments and settlements for institutional clients, marking a significant step in commercial banking’s shift on-chain.

  • JPMD is a bank-issued deposit token, distinct from stablecoins, operating within fractional-reserve banking and potentially eligible for deposit insurance.
  • The pilot will initially serve institutional clients on Coinbase’s Base blockchain, with plans to expand to other currencies and user segments.
  • JPMorgan’s private blockchain, Kinexys Digital Payments, already processes over $2 billion daily, highlighting its growing focus on on-chain finance.
