JPMorgan Develops Its Own Cryptocurrency Network
JPMorgan, one of the world’s leading financial institutions, is developing its own cryptocurrency network. While many major banks, trillion-dollar asset managers, and even Chinese banks are working on the Ethereum 
$ 2,432 network, JPMorgan is adopting a different strategy.
Chainlink and JPMorgan
Public blockchains operate as environments where cryptocurrencies are also utilized. JPMorgan, however, is creating a closed network accessible only to its clients, enlisting the support of pioneering firms in the crypto space. A recent significant move involved a transaction executed with the support of Chainlink 
$ 15 and Ondo Finance, marking the first use of a public ledger.
Kinexys, JPMorgan’s blockchain division, completed its first transaction involving the purchase of tokenized bonds on Ondo’s public network. This was the first public transaction following tests conducted on JPMorgan’s private blockchain. 
Chainlink supported the endeavor with its communication protocol that processes external information for the closed network’s transactions. This marks a pivotal move for the future of blockchain services offered by Chainlink to institutions, offering promising developments for LINK Coin’s future.
Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink, indicated that this represents “the beginning of something significant,” suggesting we can expect much more in the future.
Regulatory Clarity and Crypto
JPMorgan’s cautious approach to cryptocurrencies stemmed from years of regulatory concerns. Under Biden’s administration, the lack of regulatory clarity was used to stifle crypto companies, forcing them to hold back due to the potential risk of facing billion-dollar fines.
However, with the Trump administration, the punitive measures against companies engaged in crypto-related business ended. As a result, many companies, including JPMorgan, have announced their projects and goals in the crypto space.
Morgan Stanley is targeting crypto services for its E*Trade clients, while Fidelity is working on its own stablecoin. BlackRock is striving for an Ether ETF backed by staking, and Schwab has announced plans to launch cryptocurrency services this year.
In the near future, comprehensive initiatives may launch to establish a new crypto-based payment infrastructure that all major banks could use for communication and more.
