🔥LATEST: JPMorgan Chase recently evaluated launching its OWN stablecoin as major banks increasingly explore digital currencies, both independently and through joint ventures. The discussions remain preliminary, with no product currently under development. JPMorgan already operates its Kinexys blockchain and JPM Coin, a tokenized deposit used by institutional clients. Meanwhile, more than a dozen financial institutions, including Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Santander, are advancing plans for a global stablecoin consortium.(Coin Bureau)
