- JPMorgan Deploys JPM Coin on Ethereum Mainnet — Institutional Stablecoin Payments Go Multi-Chain
JPMorgan has made its JPM Coin, a permissioned USD deposit token, available to institutional clients on the Ethereum mainnet from October 19, 2026, after its initial launch on Base in November 2025. Access is limited to approved counterparties through the Kinexys platform, so the token serves wholesale settlement rather than free circulation. The article says the decision is driven by Ethereum's scale, with nearly $50 billion in crypto assets locked in its applications per DeFiLlama, and the move extends beyond the Kinexys network, which processes more than $7 billion in transactions daily. The timing comes ahead of the GENIUS Act's January 18, 2027 effective date, as institutions need verifiable production track records for their digital asset initiatives. Most major U.S. banks still operate on private networks, which makes JPMorgan's public-mainnet move a differentiator.
- Visa, Mesh partner to enable crypto spending at 175M merchant locations
Visa and crypto payments network Mesh have partnered so users can spend cryptocurrency and stablecoin balances directly from participating digital wallets at merchants on Visa's network, without transferring funds to a bank account or using a separate crypto card. Merchants receive payments through Visa's existing network without changing their checkout systems. The network covers more than 175 million merchant locations in over 200 countries and territories, and participating wallets and launch dates will be announced later. Mesh will handle funding and conversion between crypto, stablecoins and fiat, as well as onboarding and KYC requirements. The partnership follows Mesh's September integration with Bybit Pay and its $75 million raise in January at a $1 billion valuation.
- Citi reveals top crypto stock picks ahead of Q3 earnings
Peter Christiansen, Director of Digital Assets Equity Research at Citi, explains why the bank is turning more bullish on crypto equities ahead of Q3 earnings. He covers Citi's upgrades of Galaxy and Gemini, its downgrade of Securitize, the MSCI index exclusion threat facing Strategy, and Circle as his top pick with a $243 target. Bart Smith, CEO of Avalanche Treasury Co. (AVAT), argues that Wall Street's tokenization push will land on Avalanche, explains how a regulated permanent-capital vehicle differs from spot AVAX or an ETF, and says bitcoin is maturing into digital gold.
- Jamie Dimon slammed crypto. JPMorgan quietly built JPM Coin.
JPMorgan is expanding its dollar deposit token, JPM Coin, to Ethereum to reach a wider range of institutional clients. Based on reporting of JPMorgan’s statement, the token supports peer-to-peer transfers across EVM networks, including Base and Ethereum. JPM Coin was first used on JPMorgan’s private blockchain to test settling tokenized deposits, and it moved to Base, an Ethereum layer, last year. The host notes that Jamie Dimon, an outspoken crypto critic who has softened somewhat on stablecoins and tokenization, is now putting the bank’s product on public networks. The host sees this as a bullish trend and a possible sign of a hybrid model combining private and public networks.
- Jamie Dimon slammed crypto. JPMorgan quietly built JPM Coin.
JPMorgan is bringing JPM Coin, a token representing dollar deposits, to Ethereum to offer it to a wider range of institutional clients. According to reporting on the bank's statement, the token supports peer-to-peer transfers across EVM networks, including Base and Ethereum. The coin was previously used on JPMorgan's private blockchain to test settling tokenized deposits and moved to Base last year. The speaker sees this as a positive sign, given the bank's long-standing skepticism toward crypto, and suggests large institutions may use both private and public networks.
- Nine Public Companies Object to OKX-ICE Tokenized Stock Plans
Nine public companies, including Cerebras Systems, AppLovin, Applied Digital, Rocket Lab, CoreWeave, Verizon, Applied Optoelectronics, Broadcom and UnitedHealth Group, have objected to their shares being offered as blockchain tokens on a proposed platform backed by OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, according to a notice from the two firms, which gave no reasons. The joint venture, co-chaired by former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, filed with the SEC on October 4 under the September 17 Innovation Exemption, which lets qualifying venues trade tokenized securities without registering as traditional exchanges. The proposal names more than 60 companies, including Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, Coinbase and Robinhood, with trades settled in stablecoins on OKX's XLayer blockchain after identity and sanctions checks. Companies have 30 days to object, and any objection stops the venue from listing that company's tokenized shares.

Latest news
- Tesla is trading more like SpaceX than a car company
Tesla (TSLA) has recently moved much more in step with SpaceX (SPCX): over the past 20 sessions, their correlation is 0.64, versus 0.15 in SpaceX's first 20 sessions after its June IPO. By contrast, Tesla's correlation with GM and Ford is negative, at -0.10 and -0.14. Since Elon Musk first hinted at a combination of the two companies, Tesla has risen about 4% through Tuesday, while GM and Ford have each fallen more than 11%. After removing Nasdaq 100 moves, the leftover correlation between Tesla and SpaceX is 0.32, which the article links to merger trading; SpaceX is valued at about $2.25 trillion versus about $1.52 trillion for Tesla. Options are pricing a 5.4% move after Tesla's third-quarter report, while Tesla's actual median post-earnings move since 2023 has been closer to 10% in either direction.
- The Same Banks Writing the Rules for AI Agents Are the Ones Locking Them Out
The article argues that major banks are pursuing two contradictory paths: building open standards that let AI agents access accounts while locking those agents out in practice. Bank of America and Wells Fargo appear both on the roster for the Personal Agent Protocol (Poppy), announced by Sierra and Meta, and on the list of firms restricting third-party AI access. The protocol proposes permission levels from fully blocked to full access, but payments remain outside its core specification. Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citi, Schwab and Wells Fargo moved to restrict third-party agents, citing concerns about rogue agents, the need for human approval of money movements, and unclear liability. The article describes this private self-regulation as filling a gap left by missing legislation.
- Treasury Secretary Bessent likens GENIUS Act to Lincoln-era banking reform
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent compared the GENIUS Act on stablecoins to the banking reforms under President Abraham Lincoln, calling it a “watershed moment” for American finance in an X post welcoming the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s (OCC) final rule. He cited the National Currency Act of 1863, and the OCC said its rule would support private-sector innovation, competition and American leadership in digital assets. The rules on stablecoin reserves, redemptions and related services take effect on January 18, 2027. From that date, companies issuing payment stablecoins in the US will generally need regulatory approval, covering national banks, federal savings associations, federal branches of foreign banks, nonbank companies and certain foreign issuers.
- Model Moats: The Vanishing Weight and the Price of the Watt
Anthropic has committed nearly $90 billion to secure compute infrastructure through Nscale, including $44.6 billion disclosed in a September SEC filing and a second deal of about $45 billion in advanced negotiations, as reported by Bloomberg; both target the Monarch Compute Campus in West Virginia. The article argues that model weights are becoming a commodity and the race has shifted to who controls power. In the same week, DeepSeek open-sourced DeepInfer and llm-d 1.0 reached general availability; IBM, citing vendor-reported figures, claims self-hosting on llm-d cuts costs 5-10x versus commercial APIs. In China, ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have ordered over 3 million Nvidia RTX PRO 5500 chips worth roughly $35 billion, but according to unverified social media reports, the fill rate is only 5-10%.
- A rare phenomenon just appeared on the Vietnamese stock market
Foreign investors net bought VND 190 billion on HoSE on 21/10, their second net-buying session since Vietnam was upgraded to FTSE Russell's secondary emerging market status effective 21/9, ending 20 consecutive sessions of net selling; the article notes the amount is small relative to earlier selling and a reversal cannot yet be confirmed. BSC estimates about VND 33,000 billion (USD 1.27 billion) of upgrade-related inflows next year, following a roadmap of USD 141 million in September 2026, USD 282 million in March 2027 and about USD 494 million each in June and September 2027. BSC also expects selling pressure from active funds to ease after four consecutive years of net selling, and interbank liquidity to improve as the deposit-credit gap narrowed from VND 2.8 quadrillion to VND 2.7 quadrillion in August, the first decline in 11 quarters.
- A bank stock drew buying from more than 50 funds, with Q3 profit forecast to surge
Bank stocks made up 8 of the 10 most net-bought stocks by funds in September, with net buying of about VND 1,034 billion, mainly in VPB, MBB and ACB, marking the second consecutive month of net buying. MBB drew about 52 funds, the most participants, while VPB saw net buying of 28.7 million shares from 20 funds. FiinGroup attributed much of the flow to ETF portfolio rebalancing rather than individual decisions by open-ended funds. SSI Research forecasts Q3 2026 pre-tax profit for the banks it analyzed at VND 10,000 billion, up 38% year on year but down 5% quarter on quarter, with pressure from NIM and bad debt. Meanwhile, equity funds fell an average of 6% in Q3, and investment funds saw net outflows of about VND 8,600 billion.
