Major banking player J.P. Morgan's blockchain division has made a notable move by deploying JPM Coin on the Canton Network. For those unfamiliar, JPM Coin functions as a deposit token - essentially a digital representation of U.S. dollar reserves housed at the institution.
What's interesting here is the broader implication. When established financial giants start tokenizing their core offerings and integrating into blockchain networks, it signals something shifting in how the industry operates. The question naturally follows: does this kind of mainstream financial institution participation accelerate crypto adoption, or does it simply create another layer of traditional finance mechanics in a digital wrapper?
Either way, it's a development worth paying attention to.

JPM Coin on Canton Network, to put it simply, is Morgan wrapping the US dollar in a blockchain. The question is—does this count as TradFi migrating onto the chain, or is it just a rebranding of the old approach with a digital disguise? Based on on-chain activity data, the actual TVL share of such institutional tokens remains relatively low. Risk warning: don't be fooled by the narrative of "mainstream institutions entering the market."

JPMorgan's move is essentially traditional finance's digital transformation in disguise. Can it really accelerate crypto? I'm skeptical.

JPM's move this time, to put it plainly, is traditional finance wearing the cloak of blockchain. Has it truly changed anything?

JPMorgan's move is just to want to control the narrative. Digital dollar or dollar, it's the same old story.

JPM Coin is just a dollar with a different shell, where is the true Web3 spirit?

JPM's move is just putting a blockchain disguise on traditional finance; the true decentralized dream still has to wait.

JPMorgan's move is basically still trying to reap the benefits of crypto, just wearing the guise of blockchain.
