Amid the rise of stablecoins across both traditional and decentralized finance, deposit tokens offer an attractive alternative, especially for institutional clients seeking reliable liquidity and seamless integration with traditional banking systems.
The first-of-its-kind permissioned deposit token, JPMD will eventually exclusively enable J.P. Morgan institutional clients with:
- The ability to send and receive money securely onchain.
- The flexibility to transfer funds securely and efficiently with minimal delay, as Base offers sub-second, sub-cent, 24/7 settlement.
- Reduced friction so that clients can enhance operational efficiency and support near real-time financial decision-making.
JPMD is intended to enhance the global digital payments ecosystem by bringing trusted financial infrastructure onto public blockchain and redefining how financial institutions tokenize, move, and manage real-world assets. This is another significant milestone showcasing the undeniable value of combining the benefits of traditional banking with the innovation of blockchain technology.
