Generating Revenue through FX Spreads
Naveen Mallela, JPMorgan’s global co-head of Kinexys, shared the bank’s goal to open new revenue streams through FX spreads on its blockchain platform. Launched in 2020, Kinexys was designed to facilitate digital payments and streamline currency exchanges with JPM Coin, adding efficiency and speed to traditional banking services.
The Cautionary Approach of Institutional Traders
Institutional traders are still wary of blockchain’s potential despite JPMorgan’s blockchain projects. According to a recent JPMorgan study of more than 4,000 institutional traders, only 7% believe blockchain will be a valuable asset in the next three years. This outcome demonstrates the general reluctance of the industry.
JPM Coin’s Growing Achievement
In mid-October 2023, JPMorgan released a report highlighting JPM Coin’s increasing use in digital settlements and the potential of blockchain technology to transform financial infrastructure. The report indicated that JPM Coin handles more than $1 billion in transactions every day.
