: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo are collaborating to build a shared tokenized deposit network, to be operated by The Clearing House, a payments company jointly owned by large banks. The project aims to convert commercial deposits into tokens that can be transferred among member banks on a 24/7 basis, with a target launch date in the first half of 2027. The initial users of the network will be multinational corporations, with product offerings including programmable treasury management, real-time liquidity management, and cross-border payments. David Watson, CEO of The Clearing House, described the project as a significant initiative for the banks. JPMorgan's Kinexys platform currently processes an average daily volume of over $7 billion, with a total transaction volume exceeding $4 trillion since its launch. Citi Token Services is already operational in the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Hong Kong, transferring billions of dollars through Citigroup's own network.

Odaily Odaily: White-haired stock guru Serenity posted on X agreeing with Wells Fargo's view, stating that the market has completely misinterpreted Meta's stance on selling excess computing power. Wells Fargo stated that Meta's willingness to sell off surplus computing capacity is a positive signal that underlying AI demand and Unit Economics remain robust. Wells Fargo noted: "While Meta is moving forward with this plan, we do not see this as an indication that Meta will reduce capital expenditures (CapEx), nor do we believe that overall demand for computing power has declined."Regarding Neocloud companies, Wells Fargo believes this move further validates the significant opportunity in the AI infrastructure market, while also highlighting the potential for industry mergers and acquisitions, even though Neocloud providers may face certain competitive pressures in the future.

Several major US banks have already offered Bitcoin collateralized credit lines to select clients, with JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Citi, Charles Schwab, and Morgan Stanley all having entered the market.
