Episode notes
Bank-Issued Token Moves To Canton
- J.P. Morgan plans to issue JPM Coin natively on the privacy-enabled Canton network to enable 24/7 settlement.
- This integration aims to let cash and tokenized real-world assets settle instantly on a shared blockchain ledger.
Privacy-Enabled Settlement With Tokenized Assets
- The Canton integration allows JPM Coin to settle alongside tokenized real-world assets on a privacy-enabled public blockchain.
- That signals a shift toward synchronous markets where cash and assets settle instantly rather than during bank hours.
Florida Frames Crypto As Inflation Hedge
- The bill frames digital assets as an inflation hedge while reinforcing Florida's ban on federal CBDCs.
- This reflects the state's broader strategy of embracing decentralized assets under regulatory caution.
