JPMorgan Tokenizes Private Equity, Aims for Wider Blockchain Adoption

JPMorgan Chase is revolutionizing the private equity market by tokenizing illiquid assets. Their Kinexys Fund Flow platform digitizes private equity funds on their proprietary blockchain network, offering investors early access to a streamlined investment method. This move signifies a major step towards integrating distributed ledger technology (DLT) into traditional finance and follows aggressive plans to expand its tokenization efforts to include hedge funds, private credit, and real estate. The platform aims to reduce costs, speed up transaction settlements, enhance liquidity, and widen access to alternative investments for high-net-worth individuals. 2026 will see the full launch of Kinexys Fund Flow, a significant step in the bank’s journey towards broader blockchain adoption.
