JPMorgan Takes the Lead in Live Blockchain Collateral Settlement

  • JPMorgan, BlackRock, and Barclays executed their first live collateral settlement on the private blockchain network.
  • Onyx.BlackRock tokenized money market fund shares for use as collateral in a derivatives contract.
  • Blockchain settlement accelerated the process compared to traditional timelines.

JPMorgan, in collaboration with BlackRock and Barclays, recently executed its first live collateral settlement using its private blockchain network, Onyx. In this transaction, BlackRock tokenized money market fund shares, which were then used as collateral for a derivatives contract.

This approach, leveraging blockchain for settlement, significantly accelerated the settlement process when compared to the typical one-day timelines. JPMorgan contends that this enhanced efficiency allows for the reuse of collateral across ongoing transactions, ultimately unlocking capital efficiencies at scale.

Following the successful commercial production of its collateral trial, JPMorgan reports having a pipeline of clients and the development of various use cases. The bank had previously conducted internal testing of the network, known as the Tokenized Collateral Network (TCN), back in May.

The ability to tokenize and smoothly transfer fund shares as collateral is a well-recognized advantage of blockchain settlement. By avoiding cash redemption, this approach reduces friction and risk compared to traditional settlement processes.

JPMorgan constructed TCN on its private Ethereum-based Quorum network, Onyx. This production rollout signifies a significant step forward for JPMorgan’s blockchain initiatives after years of experimenting with various financial applications.

Critics have often raised concerns about the practical utility of blockchain technology due to the slow pace of commercial adoption after extensive experimentation. However, TCN’s transition from a proof-of-concept (PoC) to live execution suggests incremental progress.

JPMorgan’s future plans include expanding TCN’s capabilities and its support for various types of assets, such as equities and fixed-income securities.

With the successful execution of the derivatives trial, JPMorgan is now focused on demonstrating the network’s ability to handle increasing transaction volumes across its diverse clientele. This recent milestone provides a practical roadmap for introducing more institutional blockchain use cases to the market.
