JPMorgan is planning to widen its blockchain payment infrastructure by taking its JPM Coin deposit token to various blockchain networks. The expansion is set to be initiated with the Canton Network.
After this, other platforms will be the target, as the firm targets making an interoperable digital money system. JPM Coin depicts U.S. dollar deposits held at the bank. Institutional clients can use the token to make payments on distributed ledgers.
The token currently uses Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network made by Coinbase, for its operation. A spokesperson from JPMorgan revealed that the expansion will make regulated interoperable digital money.
The system will also permit near-instant value transfers over financial markets. Institutions leveraging Canton will be capable of receiving, transferring and redeeming JPMD swiftly within a safe environment.
The bank only permits whitelisted wallet addresses handled by institutional clients to use JPM Coin to ensure compliance and control. The limitations obstruct access while preserving security standards.
Delving Deep into JPM Coin
JPM Coin is not like other blockchain products of JPMorgan. The token isn’t built on the bank’s Kinexys network. The spokesperson reveals that JPM Coin has never been offered on private or permissioned infrastructure.
The Kinexys Digital Payments network was introduced in 2019, offering blockchain deposit accounts for institutional clients. These accounts permit 24/7 cross-border foreign exchange payments in USD, EUR and GBP.
Siemens leverages this system for international money transfers. The firm preserves Blockchain Deposit Accounts in Frankfurt and New York. These accounts permit Siemens to offer near-instant USD-to-EUR foreign exchange payments.
The system aids Siemens in beating restricted settlement windows. This enhances productivity for the company’s global business operations. The technology backs multi-currency, cross-border payments and liquidity management with the treasury platform of Siemens.
JPM Coin works completely on public blockchain infrastructure; when a client trades the token, the transaction is listed directly on-chain. This is not similar to traditional banking systems that leverage private databases.
