J.P. Morgan broadens blockchain settlement network as banks modernize cross-border payments
J.P. Morgan has expanded its Kinexys blockchain-based settlement network to include five additional currencies, including the Japanese yen and Chinese renminbi. The platform allows institutional clients to move tokenized bank deposits 24/7, bypassing traditional banking hour limitations for cross-border payments.
Why it matters
This expansion signals a significant shift toward institutional adoption of blockchain technology to modernize global finance, reducing settlement times and liquidity friction for multinational corporations.
The bank added the Australian dollar, Hong Kong dollar, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi and Singapore dollar to Kinexys' Blockchain Deposit Account network, a feature that lets clients move tokenized bank deposits over the platform. The new additions join the U.S. dollar, euro and British pound, giving institutional clients access to eight currencies for blockchain-based settlement and foreign exchange.
