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.

- As borrowing costs spike, Jamie Dimon asks corporate America: 'Are you prepared?' You should ask yourself the same thing
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned that rising borrowing costs in 2026 mean many companies may not be ready, especially when they must refinance or borrow and face higher credit spreads. He argues that tech firms borrowing heavily to build AI data center infrastructure are competing with the U.S. Treasury for funds, pushing rates higher for households with mortgages, car loans and credit cards. The Joint Economic Committee reported that national debt hit a record $40.25 trillion at the start of October. Citing Bloomberg, JPMorgan strategists found deeply distressed loans rose 62.5%, from $40 billion in 2025 to $65 billion in the third quarter, the highest since March 2020. Freddie Mac data showed the 30-year fixed mortgage averaging 7.40% and the 15-year at 6.73% as of October 8, 2026, and the article urges readers to review and pay down their debts early.
- JPMorgan Expands Access To JPM Coin Among Institutional Investors
JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: $JPM), the largest U.S. bank, is expanding institutional access to JPM Coin, its year-old crypto token, by bringing it to the Ethereum network. The token is currently available only on Base, the Layer-2 blockchain run by Coinbase, and JPMorgan says Ethereum offers more liquidity and wide use by institutions, though no launch date has been set. JPM Coin represents dollar deposits at the bank and can help institutional clients make blockchain payments, settle trades or back tokenized assets. JPMorgan's Kinexys network already handles more than $7 billion a day in payments, and the bank plans a shared network for tokenized U.S. deposits with a dozen other banks. JPM stock is up 12% over the last year, trading at $337.97 per share.
- 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.
- European Banking Authority Puts USDC Under Significant Token Supervision
The European Banking Authority has designated USDC as the first significant e-money token under MiCA, announced October 14. From November 12, the EBA directly oversees specified prudential areas, including own funds, reserves, liquidity and recovery or redemption planning, while France's ACPR keeps oversight of governance, outsourcing and key personnel suitability. The EBA said 45 e-money tokens have been notified under MiCA, and USDC was the first to cross the threshold for significant classification. The article notes the added scrutiny targets redemption pressure, backing asset liquidity and operational failures, but the designation does not remove market, custody or operational risk, nor guarantee redemption in every scenario.
- JPMorgan Picks Ethereum for JPM Coin, Citing the Network’s Liquidity and Client Use
JPMorgan is launching JPM Coin, its dollar deposit token, on Ethereum and will offer it to institutional clients there, as announced Monday and reported by Bloomberg. Emma Landriault, global head of Kinexys Labs, said Ethereum's liquidity and the fact that the bank's clients already use it drove the choice. The token targets large crypto firms that pay onchain and financial institutions active in tokenized assets, which can use it as onchain cash to settle trades or as collateral. JPM Coin debuted last year on Base, and it lets clients move dollars in seconds at any hour, whereas a transfer can otherwise take several days. JPMorgan's private Kinexys network already handles daily volume above $7 billion, the bank's payments arm handles around $12 trillion in daily payments, and Open Standard launched its OUSD stablecoin on Ethereum, Solana, Base and Tempo last month.
- JPMorgan brings JPM Coin to Ethereum
JPMorgan is extending its JPM Coin beyond Coinbase's Base network to the Ethereum blockchain, citing Ethereum's deeper liquidity and institutional user base. The largest U.S. bank already moves more than $7 billion a day on its private Kinexys network.

- Is TC Energy (TRP) a Good or Bad Investment at Today's Multiple?
TC Energy trades at 21.19 times next year's expected earnings, closing at $61.74 on October 16 after a 1.5% return over 6 months, versus 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index and 9.3% for the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The company operates natural gas transmission pipelines across Canada, the United States and Mexico, plus power generation, with a 44.25% operating margin, and latest-quarter earnings rose 18.00% on revenue up 5.70%. The article flags risks including debt at 170.37% of equity, the loss of crude oil pipelines to South Bow in 2024, and volumes that depend on North American gas demand from power and LNG exports. A 4.01% yield is cited as income while the market decides whether the stable business justifies the multiple relative to its growth.
- Should You Buy This Trump AI Stock Ahead of Earnings?
Microsoft (MSFT) reports quarterly results on October 28 and ranks eighth in Trump's latest stock portfolio, after Trump bought the stock five times in August. Bulls point to Azure growth of 43% last quarter, with management expecting about 45% in the current quarter, and to demand that exceeds available computing capacity. Bears cite rising capital spending that Deutsche Bank says could push free cash flow close to breakeven in fiscal 2027, about two-thirds of spending going to short-lived equipment such as chips, and OpenAI making up about 45% of the commercial backlog in the December quarter. The stock trades at 26.75 times forward earnings, a 27% premium to the sector median of 21.01 but 12% below its own five-year average of 30.47, with a PEG ratio of 1.70 versus a sector median of 1.14. The article concludes that investors pay more than for the average tech stock but less than they usually pay for Microsoft.
- What Is Williams' (WMB) Economic Moat, and Is It Steel or Permits?
Williams (WMB) closed at $71.28 on October 16, with a 0.5% return over 6 months, compared with 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index and 9.3% for the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The article argues its main advantage is the Transco pipeline, which runs from the Gulf Coast up the eastern seaboard, where several attempts to build new pipe have been abandoned after failing to win approvals. A 39.54% operating margin and 21.50% return on equity are cited as evidence of this advantage, although revenue rose only 7.80% last quarter. Limits noted include debt at 200.37% of equity, rules that also restrict Williams' own growth, and a price of 26.81 times expected next-year earnings. The dividend yields 2.95%.
- Marvell Jumps 6% as GF Securities Says Google Chip Delay Won’t Dent Its Position; Broadcom Rises 3%
Marvell shares rose 6% to $241.27 in afternoon trading after a reported delay in Google's next TPU chip, while Broadcom gained 3%. GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu said the delay does not change Marvell's medium- to long-term position in Google's chip supply chain. Marvell reported Q2 FY2027 revenue of $2.74 billion, up 36.5% YoY, with its Data Center segment at $2.17 billion, or 79% of revenue. Google can acquire up to 7% of Marvell shares under a warrant tied to revenue targets, and management expects its custom business to more than double in fiscal 2028. Q3 revenue guidance is $3.15 billion, plus or minus 5%, with non-GAAP gross margin of 57.5% to 58.5%, and the article notes Marvell still needs to convert its Google programs into reported revenue.
- Is ONEOK (OKE) Cheap at 14 Times Next Year’s Earnings?
ONEOK (NYSE:OKE) closed at $93.31 on October 16 and returned 11.4% over six months, versus 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index. The stock trades at 14.49 times next year's expected earnings and yields 4.59%, and revenue rose 52.80% last quarter as the company grew through acquisitions. The article argues that much of this growth was bought rather than built, with only 13.25% of revenue remaining as operating profit and debt at 143.07% of equity. Because a large part of the business involves buying and reselling liquids rather than earning transport fees, the article views the discount as having a reason behind it. It concludes that investors should watch margins rather than revenue.
