JPMorgan Deploys JPM Coin on Ethereum Mainnet — Institutional Stablecoin Payments Go Multi-Chain

What happened: JPMorgan made its JPM Coin available to institutional clients on the Ethereum mainnet as of October 19, 2026, after launching on the Base layer-2 network in November 2025. Key numbers: October 19, 2026 Ethereum deployment. November 2025 Base launch. Why it matters: JPM Coin is a permissioned USD deposit token limited to approved counterparties via Kinexys, so the move places it in an ecosystem with significant institutional activity. Most peer banks still operate on private networks, making the public mainnet deployment the differentiating step. Market: -2.7% today ($168.45), -28.8% YTD, 0.9x vol — as of 20:17 UTC Coverage: 5 outlets in 24h
