JPMorgan Pioneers $50 Million Galaxy Digital Bond On Solana

2025/12/13 00:54

JPMorgan arranged a $50 million bond for Galaxy Digital on Solana, one of the earliest cases of debt being executed on a public blockchain.

The US investment bank said in a statement that the short-term commercial paper was bought by Coinbase and Franklin Templeton, with settlement conducted in the USDC stablecoin that is issued by Circle.

Coinbase will handle the wallets and custody for the deal, with the transaction appearing on its balance sheet. JPMorgan facilitated on-chain delivery-versus-payment settlement in addition to creating the deal’s on-chain token, USCP.

Mainstream Financial Institutions Show Growing Interest In Tokenized Assets

The deal highlights growing interest in tokenized assets as major banks and asset managers explore using blockchains for real-world financial activity. Blockchain settlement offers faster, more transparent alternatives to traditional debt markets.

“This issuance is a clear example of how public blockchains can improve the way capital markets operate,” said Jason Urban, global head of trading at Galaxy. “By bringing our first commercial paper offering on-chain and helping structure one of the earliest U.S. transactions of its kind, we’re putting into practice the model we’ve long believed in: open, programmable infrastructure that supports institutional-grade financial products.”

The debt deal comes at a time when tokenization is rapidly increasing, driven by a friendlier regulatory regime in the US. The US administration under President Donald Trump has eased and clarified regulation in the crypto space, prompting accelerated activity by mainstream institutions. 

“We’re confident there is strong demand for this type of innovation, and we’re committed to supporting our clients and the market as we move forward,” said Scott Lucas, head of Markets Digital Assets at JPMorgan.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
