JPMorgan recently filed a trademark application for 'JPMD' with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
The application describes JPMD as a system for digital asset trading, transfers, payments, and blockchain-based fund services.
The trademark request covers various financial services like digital trading platforms, brokerage services for digital assets, and blockchain-based clearing and settlement.
JPMorgan's filing hints at debt settlement and brokerage using blockchain technology.
While the term 'stablecoin' is not mentioned in the filing, JPMD's functions resemble those associated with stable digital currencies.
Market speculations see JPMD as an extension of JPMorgan's JPM Coin initiative or a potential public-facing stablecoin.
If confirmed, JPMD could signify a significant advancement in the race among financial institutions to launch tokenized payment solutions.
The trademark application is yet to be assigned to an examiner, and JPMorgan has not made any official statements regarding the filing.
