JPMorgan to Issue JPM Coin Natively on Canton Network in 2026 Rollout

The move targets real-time institutional settlement with bank‑issued digital cash on a privacy‑enabled public blockchain.

Overview

  • Kinexys and Digital Asset announced plans to bring JPM Coin directly onto the Canton Network, a public chain built for institutional finance with configurable privacy.
  • The deployment will proceed in phases through 2026, starting with technical and commercial foundations to enable native issuance, transfer, and near‑instant redemption.
  • JPM Coin is a U.S. dollar–denominated deposit token representing a direct claim on JPMorgan deposits, positioned as a regulated alternative to non‑bank stablecoins.
  • The partners are evaluating additional Kinexys Digital Payments offerings for Canton, including JPMorgan’s Blockchain Deposit Accounts.
  • The initiative extends JPMorgan’s multi‑chain strategy that includes JPM Coin on Base and tokenization efforts such as the $100 million MONY fund, as Canton gains traction with pilots from market infrastructure firms like DTCC.
