JPMorgan drops JPM Coin on Ethereum with zero retail access
JPMorgan Chase is expanding its JPM Coin, a blockchain-based deposit token, to the Ethereum network for its institutional clients. The token is backed by USD deposits held at the bank and facilitates peer-to-peer transfers and transaction settlements within the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem, including the Base layer-2 network. This expansion is designed to provide 24/7, near-instant settlement for corporate and institutional entities but excludes retail users.
