JPMorgan made its JPM Coin deposit token available on Ethereum on Oct. 19, giving its institutional clients another public-blockchain route to send and receive dollar deposits. The launch adds Ethereum’s main network alongside the token’s existing availability on Base.
JPMorgan says the expansion puts native cash on the network where institutions already transact with tokenized assets, collateral and counterparties. That includes its own tokenized money-market funds, bringing the bank’s payment and investment offerings onto the same public blockchain.
JPM Coin, which uses the ticker JPMD, digitally represents a bank deposit. The bank’s Ethereum announcement says it supports peer-to-peer transfers between institutional clients in the Ethereum Virtual Machine ecosystem, including Base and Ethereum.
Participation remains tied to the bank’s institutional client base. A public network does not make the service available to every Ethereum wallet holder, and the announcement includes no retail rollout. The new route broadens where those clients can transact.
In November 2025, JPM Coin became available to institutional clients on Base on November 12, after the proof of concept had begun in June 2025. Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 network. The October launch adds the Layer 1 network itself, extending the deposit token’s reach within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Bank deposits beside fund tokens
The deposit token joins investment products already on Ethereum. JPMorgan Asset Management launched My OnChain Net Yield Fund, or MONY, on Ethereum on Dec. 15, 2025. The private-placement money market fund is available to qualified investors through Morgan Money, the firm’s investment platform.
The JPMorgan OnChain Liquidity-Token Money Market Fund, or JLTXX, followed on May 13, 2026. It is a US-registered government money-market fund that qualified investors can also access through Morgan Money.
The products serve different purposes: JPMD represents a bank deposit used for payments, while MONY and JLTXX give investors fund exposure through tokens. Access to a fund through Morgan Money does not establish eligibility to use JPM Coin.
Sharing Ethereum creates a closer setting for those payment and investment activities, but the October announcement does not specify a live facility for using JPMD to subscribe to or redeem either fund. Their presence on one network does not itself connect those processes.
JPMorgan describes programmable treasury through institutional clients’ wallet interfaces as a potential use of the deposit token.
For now, the Ethereum launch gives its institutional clients an additional network for peer-to-peer money movement alongside their existing on-chain assets and counterparties.
