You didn’t think the banks were going away quietly did you?
Here is the TL:DR on JPMD stablecoin
Is this a stabelcoin? Another version of JPM Coin?
It’s a tokenized deposit token that will live on the Base blockchain!
Unlike stablecoins that are supposed to be backed 1:1 with dollars custodied (or other backing like treasuries), the JPMD is going to represent existing deposits at the bank (commercial bank money
).What’s the difference?
They’re a bank… they don’t have to have it 1:1 backed, they just need the fractional reserves to meet required deposit thresholds meaning it’s a lot more scalable.
What else is intriguing? Potential interest payments (yield).Here we go! Get ready for the stablecoin wars. The only hope is that this coin is on a terrible chain. And we all know blockchains don’t scale!
