JPMorgan (JPM) made two October moves to guard its deposits: blocking outside AI agents from logging into Chase accounts with customer credentials where possible, and expanding JPM Coin, a token representing dollar deposits, from Base to Ethereum for institutional clients. According to CFO Jeremy Barnum, deposit and card-loan growth, rather than rate hikes, drives roughly three-quarters of the growth in the 2027 interest income outlook, with only about a quarter tied to the yield curve. The bank guided to about $25.5 billion of fourth-quarter net interest income excluding markets, roughly $102 billion annualized, against a 2027 central case of about $107 billion. Adjusted EPS of $5.75 trailed the $5.94 Street estimate, and the mean analyst target, based on 26 analysts tracked by TIKR, slipped to about $373 from about $376. Citigroup and Bank of America have also restricted agent access, while JPMorgan added roughly 650,000 net new checking accounts in the third quarter.

- JPMorgan Chase (JPM) Takes JPM Coin to Ethereum for Institutional Payments
JPMorgan Chase has extended its JPM Coin payment system to the Ethereum mainnet for institutional clients. The USD-backed deposit token is moving beyond private, permissioned ledgers to a widely used public blockchain. Institutional users can now send on-chain dollar transfers over Ethereum, with the aim of faster settlement and 24/7 availability.
- 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.
- 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's JPM Coin, representing dollar deposits, is coming to Ethereum: Bloomberg
JPMorgan will make JPM Coin, a token representing its dollar deposits, available to institutional clients on Ethereum, according to Bloomberg. The bank says Ethereum's liquidity makes it attractive to crypto companies seeking blockchain payments and to financial firms settling trades or backing tokenized assets. The move extends JPMorgan's blockchain work beyond Base and its private Kinexys network, which processes more than $7 billion daily. The bank did not say when the token will go live on Ethereum. Meanwhile, JPMorgan is among US banks planning a shared tokenized deposit network, but it was not on Swift's list of 17 banks preparing live transactions on its blockchain ledger in July.
- BREAKING: JPMorgan Expands JPM Coin Deposit Token to Ethereum Network
JPMorgan is bringing its USD-denominated deposit token, JPM Coin (JPMD), to the Ethereum mainnet for institutional clients, extending its push into blockchain payments. The token, which represents US dollar deposits at the bank, was first launched last year on Base and lets clients send and receive money in real time, 24/7. Emma Landriault, global head of Kinexys Labs, described the move as further convergence between Wall Street and crypto, with banks moving onto public chains and crypto firms partnering with traditional institutions. JPMorgan already has tokenized money market funds MONY and JLTXX on Ethereum, and it now adds a cash leg. Ether traded near $2,434 after a rebound, with trading volume up 42% over 24 hours.
- Banks dealing with rogue AI agents is 'a problem that is facing us today'
Arctic Wolf CEO and President Nick Schneider, speaking on Market Domination Overtime, discussed threats from AI agents to bank accounts. Citing Axios, he noted US banks such as JP Morgan and Bank of America are detecting third-party AI agents accessing customer accounts. He argued that open-source models and models from outside the United States are capable enough to build agents at scale to attack organizations, making this a current problem; the only defense against the speed of agentic attacks is trustworthy, economical agentic defenses, which is why Arctic Wolf built its agentic SOC. On privacy, he said many familiar privacy and cybersecurity challenges still apply, now arriving with greater speed and sophistication.

- Nvidia Shareholders Have a Major Reason to Be Bullish After Jensen Huang's Latest Announcement
At Nvidia's GTC conference in Berlin from October 20 to 22, CEO Jensen Huang unveiled server racks combining 72 next-generation Vera Rubin GPUs, 256 custom language processing unit chips and Vera CPUs, designed to help data centres become “AI factories”. Nvidia says its sales opportunity per gigawatt of compute has risen from $18 billion with Hopper to $25 billion with Blackwell and $40 billion with Vera Rubin, aided by CPU integration that targets AI inference. Huang estimated a 1-gigawatt AI factory costs operators about $50 billion to set up and could generate roughly $40 billion in annual revenue, while a three-month delay in bringing one online could forfeit $10 billion in potential sales. The article calls this a bullish development for shareholders, though concerns about an AI valuation bubble have caused volatility across the sector.

- Trump methane policy rollback may have minimal impact on crude prices, EPA says
The EPA's own economic modeling projects that President Trump's proposed rollback of methane emissions rules would lower U.S. crude prices by only 11 cents a barrel in 2027, or 0.14%. CLSA analyst Baden Moore said uncertainty over implementation and the policy's durability could limit producers' investment, and that it would affect only a small share of the U.S. shale market. The proposal would allow lighter requirements based on production levels or extraction methods, scrap the Super Emitter Program, and project about $45 billion in savings from 2027 through 2050, mostly from lower compliance costs. The EPA also projects 60 million short tons of additional methane emissions over that period, and the proposal remains subject to public comment and further review.
