JPMorgan Accelerates Blockchain Deployment, Plans to Build an “Interoperable Digital Currency” System

JPMorgan is accelerating its blockchain and digital currency strategic deployment. The bank announced plans to expand its deposit token JPM Coin to multiple blockchain networks, including Canton Network, which emphasizes privacy and institutional compliance, to build a regulated, interoperable digital currency system for near real-time interbank settlement and transfer. Currently, JPM Coin is anchored to US dollar deposits, and it is already serving institutional clients on Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 network Base, with companies like Siemens using it for cross-border foreign exchange settlement scenarios.

JPMorgan states that deploying JPM Coin natively on Canton Network is a key step toward creating a multi-chain interconnected settlement system. In the future, as JPM Coin gradually covers more blockchain platforms, institutional users will be able to receive, transfer, and redeem funds in a secure, synchronized, and regulated environment, significantly improving cross-market capital flow efficiency. This move also demonstrates how traditional financial giants are leveraging blockchain technology to advance “digital currency infrastructure” toward higher levels of interoperability and practical application.

XRP Spot ETF Ends Eight Weeks of Net Inflows, About $40 Million Outflow in a Single Day

The XRP spot ETF listed in the US recorded its first single-day net outflow since its launch in mid-November last year, ending nearly two months of net inflows. Data shows that the total net outflow on that day was approximately $40.8 million, mainly due to redemptions of about $47.25 million from the TOXR product under 21Shares, while products from other issuers like Canary, Bitwise, and Grayscale mostly maintained small net inflows or flat. Despite this, the total trading volume of XRP ETFs on that day still reached about $33.74 million, indicating active market trading but no signs of panic selling.

Previously, steady ETF capital inflows were considered an important support for XRP outperforming the broader market early in 2026. The first net outflow does not necessarily indicate a trend reversal; large redemptions in a single product are more likely related to institutional asset reallocation, tax considerations, or market maker inventory management. However, given XRP’s significant gains since the beginning of the year, subsequent ETF capital flows will remain an important indicator for market demand cooling.

Polygon Launches Open Money Stack to Build Borderless Payment Infrastructure for Stablecoins

Polygon Labs officially announced Open Money Stack, a new modular payment infrastructure framework designed to support stablecoin-based payment systems and simplify cross-border value transfer processes. The system is expected to go live later this year, with cross-chain compatibility and customizable features. Financial institutions and fintech companies can integrate key components such as on-chain settlement, fiat on/off ramps, and compliance tools, reducing reliance on multiple service providers and lowering overall operational complexity.

According to Polygon Labs, Open Money Stack will integrate core modules including liquidity management, payment orchestration, and regulatory controls, helping enterprises complete complex payment workflows on a unified infrastructure. The system aims to enable smoother cross-border payments without cumbersome operations like cross-chain bridging or token swaps. This move demonstrates Polygon’s accelerating efforts to develop stablecoin payment infrastructure tailored for institutional and large-scale commercial applications.
