J.P. Morgan's Kinexys digital asset arm has selected Canton as the second permissionless blockchain to host native JPM Coin (ticker symbol: JPMD), a tokenized USD deposit token for the bank's institutional clients.

What's the Scoop?

  • New Network: Kinexys – J.P. Morgan's digital asset arm – will deploy JPM Coin (JPMD) on Canton, marking the digital dollar's second expansion onto a permissionless network, following its launch on Base in November 2025.
  • Bank Deposit: JPM Coin represents U.S. dollar deposits held at J.P. Morgan, offering institutional clients the ability to send and receive dollars 24/7 with blockchain-based rails.
  • Institutional Adjacent: Built by Digital Asset Holdings, Canton network touts the support of major financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, and BNY Mellon. The network was the first identified as suitable for the DTCC's upcoming tokenization experiment.
  • Phased Rollout: Kinexys plans a gradual JPMD deployment throughout 2026, with potential future integrations including "Blockchain Deposit Accounts" and broader interoperability frameworks.
