Onyx

Coin

JPMorgan Chase has introduced new programmable features to its digital token, JPM Coin, enhancing the utility of its blockchain-based payment system. The bank’s blockchain division, Onyx, led by Naveen Mallela, has <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7128680428038750208/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">developed </a>these features to automate payments under certain conditions. This development allows corporate clients like Siemens and FedEx to execute payments automatically when predefined triggers are met, offering a more efficient payment process compared to traditional methods.
The application of this new feature is already in practice. Siemens has utilized programmable payments for contingency fund transfers. FedEx and agricultural giant Cargill are also planning to implement this feature soon. This update to JPM Coin enables companies to bypass the need for fixed-time payment orders, allowing for immediate fund transfers under specified conditions.

Since its introduction in 2019, JPM Coin has facilitated real-time money transfers between JPMorgan accounts worldwide. The digital token operates on JPMorgan’s Onyx blockchain, an Ethereum-based platform. It has rapidly gained traction, handling an <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/jpmorgans-jpm-coin-emerges-in-transactions/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">estimated $1 billion in daily transfers</a>. JPM Coin’s integration into JPMorgan’s larger blockchain and cryptocurrency projects reflects the bank’s interest in expanding its digital financial services.
Onyx, JPMorgan’s blockchain business unit, has launched programmable payments for general availability. The feature aims to streamline transactions for institutional clients by automating them based on preset rules. This capability is particularly beneficial for managing treasury operations during non-working days, as JPM Coin functions 24/7. Programmable payments also offer potential benefits in handling overdue payments or responding to margin calls.
JPMorgan’s commitment to blockchain technology extends beyond JPM Coin. The Onyx platform has been instrumental in various crypto-related projects, including tokenizing securities. Recently, JPMorgan helped major clients like Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas in processing tokenized U.S. Treasuries and dollars. Last month, Onyx and TCN platforms facilitated BlackRock in tokenizing money market fund shares, later used by Barclays as collateral in an over-the-counter derivatives contract.
JPMorgan’s efforts in integrating blockchain technology with traditional banking operations reflect an ongoing trend in the financial industry. While JPM Coin currently handles a portion of JPMorgan’s daily transactions, the bank envisions expanding these services to retail consumers in the future. With this strategic move, JPMorgan aims to bridge the gap between conventional financial systems and emerging digital solutions.
