On June 16, 2025, trademark watchers flagged a filing suggesting JPMorgan Chase has applied for a U.S. trademark on “JPMD” a move that appears related to a new stablecoin initiative.
Crypto Briefing reports the filing covers digital currency issuance, electronic payments, blockchain custody, and real-time token trading.
Posts on X (formerly Twitter) confirm the news:
“JPMorgan, the world’s largest bank, has filed a trademark for what looks like a crypto stablecoin called ‘JPMD.’”
There’s no USPTO record publicly available yet and JPMorgan hasn’t commented. No major outlets have picked up the story—at least not yet.
If genuine, “JPMD” would mark an expansion beyond JPM Coin, which has been in use since 2019 as a dollar-backed token for interbank settlement.
This aligns with past steps JPMorgan trademarked “J.P. Morgan Wallet” in 2022, hinting at a broader crypto payments roadmap.
Why It Matters
- A shift toward public-facing stablecoins would signal a major step for a top-tier bank.
- It could power consumer or institutional offerings via an existing crypto wallet ecosystem.
- It joins broader industry moves—some major banks are exploring joint stablecoin launches.
What to Watch
- USPTO’s Trademark Gazette should publish details later this month.
- Expect clarifications or denials from JPMorgan’s legal or communications teams if coverage intensifies.
- Confirmation via Reuters, Bloomberg, or WSJ will validate the direction and scale of JPMD.
We’ll update this article once official filings or statements become available.
