According to PR Newswire, J.P. Morgan Asset Management announced on October 22 that its tokenized money market funds MONY and JLTXX are now live on the Solana blockchain and available to eligible U.S. investors. Eligible investors can subscribe and redeem through its institutional trading platform, Morgan Money, and receive their token balances at their own blockchain addresses. MONY is a private fund established under Rule 506(c), launched in December 2025. At that time, J.P. Morgan became the first global systemically important bank to launch a tokenized money market fund on a public blockchain. JLTXX is a U.S.-registered government money market fund, with an investment approach designed to support stablecoin issuers under the framework of the GENIUS Act.
According to The Block, JPMorgan analysts including Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou stated in Wednesday's report that recent actions by U.S. regulators are partially offsetting the adverse impact of the Senate's failure to advance the Clarity Act, but until a crypto market structure bill is enacted, the political and legal risk premium will persist. Analysts note that regulator-driven measures could encourage institutional participation in the short term, but only legislation can ensure a more durable regulatory framework. If the Democratic Party wins the White House, existing regulatory measures could be overturned within as little as two years. The bill is unlikely to pass this year and may instead be put back on the agenda in 2027.
Odaily reports: JPMorgan Asset Management has for the first time incorporated Bitcoin into its long-term capital market assumptions, projecting an annualized return of approximately 10% for Bitcoin over the next decade, with the potential to outperform stocks, bonds, and gold. However, the forecast also assumes an annualized volatility of 55% for Bitcoin, more than three times that of U.S. large-cap stocks.JPMorgan believes that gradually improving regulatory frameworks and continued enhancements in market liquidity and price discovery mechanisms could further drive Bitcoin's acceptance in traditional financial markets. Looking ahead to the next decade, technological innovation in areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, healthcare, and space, along with approximately $15 trillion in global capital expenditure growth, are also expected to drive economic growth and asset returns.Analysts noted that the correlation between Bitcoin and other assets is unstable, making it currently unsuitable as a diversification asset in balanced portfolios. As a result, the firm has not yet included it in its main portfolio models. If Bitcoin's volatility continues to decline and its correlation with other assets stabilizes in the future, its value for portfolio allocation could increase. (Bloomberg)
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon stated that the US economy is currently in good shape overall, supported by solid corporate earnings, a resilient labor market, and relatively manageable debt levels for both businesses and households. However, short-term economic resilience does not mean risks have been eliminated. Dimon warned that the US economy still faces three major threats: sticky inflation continuing to suppress purchasing power and constrain monetary policy flexibility; massive government fiscal deficits pushing up interest obligations and financing costs; and potential cascading impacts from overseas geopolitical conflicts. He noted that an economic downturn is inevitable, but the exact triggers and timing of the next recession are difficult to predict precisely, necessitating prudent preparation for the potential shockwaves from compounding unforeseen events.
Odaily Report: JPMorgan is expanding its JPM Coin USD deposit token to the Ethereum mainnet, offering it to institutional clients. The token was previously launched on Base in 2025 and represents actual bank deposits, enabling near-instant peer-to-peer transfers and settlements around the clock. It is currently available only to JPMorgan institutional clients through Kinexys, does not support public trading, and is not open to retail customers. JPM Coin is a permissioned, regulatory-compliant bank money and is not a decentralized stablecoin.
According to Bloomberg, a recent report by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) indicates that between 2020 and September 2025, nine major banks—JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Capital One Financial, PNC Financial, Toronto-Dominion Bank, and Bank of Montreal—restricted certain customers from using banking services or required them to undergo more rigorous vetting and approval processes through related policies, a practice known as "debanking." On Wednesday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) also stated that it would thoroughly investigate whether the banks named in the report complied with federal consumer financial laws and take appropriate action accordingly.
According to Bloomberg citing sources familiar with the matter, bets on Polymarket regarding the likelihood of major banks such as Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America collapsing are drawing attention from U.S. regulators and members of Congress. While these contracts currently represent only a small portion of trading on this offshore prediction market platform, some officials fear that expanding trading volumes could exacerbate market panic and fuel real-world bank runs. Polymarket stated that its platform prohibits U.S. users from participating.
JPMorgan Chase and banks such as Citigroup are using blockchain technology to process massive funds, but tokenization solutions are primarily aimed at institutional investors rather than retail consumers. Capital fragmentation and compliance pressures resulting from legacy systems are the main reasons.
According to BeInCrypto, JPMorgan Co-President Doug Petno stated at the Barclays Global Financial Services Conference that institutional interest in blockchain and stablecoins remains in its early stages, constrained by interoperability gaps, regulations, and KYC rules, with no genuine institutional demand beyond crypto trading currently. In swift response, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino remarked that "there is no need to import ice to the Arctic," mocking JPMorgan’s assessment as out of touch with reality—Tether's USDT market cap has already neared $183 billion, while the total market capitalization of all stablecoins sits at approximately $311 billion. Notably, JPMorgan itself operates the blockchain payments division Kinexys, and its research team forecasts the stablecoin market to reach between $500 billion and $750 billion, falling well short of the $2 trillion upper limit projected by some firms.
According to Chaoxiang Research, JPMorgan’s September 6, 2026 research report highlights four reasons supporting a bullish stance on US equities despite heightened volatility in interest rates, exchange rates, and oil prices: strong growth (GDP and EPS forecasts continue to be raised), interest rates are not too high (rising yields reflect economic expansion rather than monetary tightening), the US favors a weak dollar policy, and hedge fund positioning remains neutral to light. August nonfarm payrolls added 162,000 jobs, far exceeding expectations; however, whether to hike rates in September hinges on the September 11 CPI data, with JPMorgan projecting core CPI to rise 0.21% month-over-month. The MSCI World Index has gained 12% year-to-date, while the 10-year US Treasury yield has climbed by only 60 basis points, and earnings growth is currently absorbing valuations.
Odaily News: Robinhood Markets has officially served as an IPO underwriter for the first time, participating in the listing of smart ring maker Oura. Oura filed for its IPO last Thursday, with an expected listing valuation exceeding $11 billion. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan are serving as the lead book-runners for the deal, with Robinhood ranking 18th among the 18 underwriters.In June of this year, Robinhood received regulatory approval to conduct underwriting business, and CEO Vlad Tenev previously stated his desire to "disrupt" the IPO market. As an underwriter, Robinhood is expected to gain more influence in the allocation of IPO shares to its retail clients. (The Wall Street Journal)
Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and 18 other institutions have announced the formation of a new company, planning to issue a regulated US dollar stablecoin in the first half of 2027, followed by an expansion to other G7 currencies such as the euro.
Odaily News JPMorgan and Citadel Securities have both issued short-term warnings, advising investors to remain cautious ahead of the upcoming period of dense macro data releases and the Federal Reserve policy meeting, and to utilize option prices currently at yearly lows to strengthen downside risk hedging.After Fed Chair Warsh delivered a clear signal in his highly anticipated speech on August 28, emphasizing that U.S. inflation has not shown any substantial slowdown, the trading team led by JPMorgan's Head of U.S. Market Intelligence, Andrew Tyler, decided to abandon their bullish stance ahead of the September 16 Fed policy decision. Although they expect economic data and corporate earnings to continue providing support, they have downgraded their view on U.S. equities to tactically cautious.Scott Rubner, Head of Equity and Equity Derivatives Strategy at Citadel Securities, noted that retail investor buying activity in September, as tracked by his firm, has been the weakest of the year since 2019. On days when the S&P 500 index declines, average net retail buying volume is only about half of normal levels. (Bloomberg)
According to Reuters, people familiar with the matter said that JPMorgan Chase terminated banking services for prediction market platform Polymarket last October due to regulatory concerns, asking it to seek another banking institution. Despite this, both parties still maintain business relations, and JPMorgan Chase is also interested in pursuing Polymarket's future IPO underwriting opportunities.
According to TechFlow Research, a buy-side survey by JPMorgan on August 3 showed that for most of the nine semiconductor and hardware companies, buy-side expectations were higher than company guidance. onsemi (ON) Q2 revenue buy-side average was $1.61 billion (guidance $1.59 billion), gross margin 39.5% (guidance 39.0%), EPS $0.75 (guidance $0.71), and FY2027 EPS average $3.57 (guidance $3.11). Approximately 60% of respondents expect ON to slightly raise its 2026 AI revenue target (currently around $500 million). After a stock price drawdown of approximately 25%, ON has shifted from net short to slightly net short, with earnings implied volatility at 7.5%. For the eight companies AMAT, AMD, ANET, COHR, CSCO, LITE, SNDK, and WDC, buy-side average revenue, gross margin, and EPS were all higher than company guidance. JPMorgan believes that July AI momentum unwinding led to a significant drawdown in the semiconductor sector, but buy-side expectations for earnings are not low, creating a contrast between buy-side expectations and stock price pessimism. AMAT earnings implied volatility of 18% is significantly higher than the historical average, indicating the bar for beating expectations is rising. ON is an exception; AI expectations are extremely low, instead leaving room for earnings to beat expectations.
According to The Block, the JPMorgan analyst team (led by Managing Director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou) released a report on July 30 stating that the probability of the "Clarity Act" (Crypto Market Structure Act) passing in the US Senate within the year has dropped to a historic low. The Kalshi prediction market shows a passing probability of only 37%, while Polymarket is even lower at 26%. Analysts pointed out that disagreements on core issues such as ethical provisions, enforcement standards, stablecoin yields, decentralized finance, and illicit finance remain unresolved. Voting is expected to be difficult to complete before the Senate summer recess, and may be postponed until after senators return in mid-September.
analysts at JPMorgan stated that the probability of the U.S. crypto market structure bill, the Clarity Act, passing the Senate by the end of this year has decreased, posing a headwind for the cryptocurrency market. Analysts pointed out that prediction markets show the likelihood of the bill passing this year has dropped to its lowest point of the year, with Kalshi at 37% and Polymarket at 26%.JPMorgan noted that the Senate prioritized other legislative matters before the summer recess. Additionally, unresolved issues such as ethical clauses, enforcement authority, stablecoin yields, DeFi, and illicit finance have made the bill's advancement prospects more uncertain. The bank had previously viewed the Clarity Act as a potential positive catalyst for the crypto market, as it would establish a clearer regulatory framework for the digital asset industry: digital commodities would be regulated by the CFTC, while digital securities would continue to fall under the SEC's jurisdiction.Analysts believe that if the bill is ultimately passed, it would help develop more institutionalized market infrastructure, ease regulatory restrictions on DeFi and stablecoin issuers, boost domestic liquidity and trading volumes in the U.S., and lower the barriers to entry for brokerages, exchanges, market makers, custodians, and bank-related platforms seeking to participate in the crypto industry.
JPMorgan has stated the decreased probability of the Clarity Act passing this year poses an obstacle to the crypto market and institutional adoption. JPMorgan indicated that the legislation would provide regulatory clarity, encouraging banks and asset management firms to expand into the digital asset space. Related delays could shift tokenization towards traditional financial infrastructure rather than public blockchain networks.
据 Decrypt 报道，高盛董事长兼 CEO 大卫·所罗门公开表态支持加密货币市场结构法案（Clarity Act），称其有助于"建立公平竞争环境、提升市场稳定性并推动创新"。此举与摩根大通 CEO 杰米·戴蒙及多家银行业协会的立场明显相左——后者强烈反对法案中允许稳定币提供收益的条款，认为此举将吸走传统银行存款。 目前，参议院共和党人正在流传最新法案草案，新增了限制总统及其家人参与加密业务的伦理条款，但该限制将于 2029 年到期且不适用于特朗普之子，遭民主党批评力度不足。法案能否在八月休会前完成参议院投票，前景仍不明朗。
Goldman Sachs Group CEO David Solomon stated that while the CLARITY Act is not perfect, he supports its advancement, believing it will establish a clearer and fairer regulatory framework for the digital asset market, enhance market stability, and promote innovation.Solomon said the most significant implication of the CLARITY Act is "creating a level playing field, allowing the market to develop healthily." This stance contrasts sharply with that of some banking executives, such as JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon. They argue that the bill, by allowing crypto companies to offer stablecoin products similar to interest-bearing deposits without assuming the same regulatory requirements as banks, could weaken the competitiveness of traditional banks.Currently, Republican senators in the U.S. have released a revised text of the CLARITY Act, which could be submitted to the Senate for a vote as early as next week. The bill aims to clarify the division of responsibilities between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in regulating digital assets, and will continue negotiations on terms related to stablecoin issuance, consumer protection, and yield-bearing stablecoins.
