JPMorgan’s JPMD Token Launches on Coinbase-Backed Base—Wall Street Meets DeFi
JPMorgan just planted its flag in crypto’s wild west. The banking giant’s JPMD token is now live on Base—Coinbase’s Ethereum L2 that’s eating Wall Street’s lunch.
Why it matters: When Jamie Dimon’s empire embraces blockchain rails, even the Bitcoin maxis pause mid-tweet. This isn’t your anarchist cousin’s shitcoin—it’s the vanguard of TradFi’s reluctant but inevitable crypto pivot.
The subtext: Watch how fast JPMorgan’s ‘blockchain bad’ rhetoric vanishes when there’s a 0.5bps efficiency gain to capture. The real innovation? Banks finally admitting they need crypto more than crypto needs banks.
