JPMorgan has successfully executed its first fund service transaction using its Kinexys blockchain, marking a significant expansion of the system from payments and repo transactions to the private market's back-office infrastructure. The bank's Asset and Wealth Management division, in collaboration with fund service provider Citco, utilized the newly launched Kinexys Fund Flow system to automate and record capital flows of alternative investment funds on a private blockchain. This tool tokenizes investor information and uses smart contracts to automatically transfer funds between JPMorgan brokerage accounts and fund managers, replacing traditional manual reconciliation and wire transfer processes. The initiative aims to reduce operational errors and lower industry operating costs.
