JPMorgan Wants to Bring Trillions of Dollars of Tokenized Assets to DeFi

• CoinDesk

AUSTIN, Texas — JPMorgan (JPM) hopes it has found a way for decentralized finance (DeFi) developers to leverage the yield-generating potential of non-crypto assets.

Speaking to CoinDesk at Consensus 2022 in Austin, Texas, Tyrone Lobban, head of Onyx Digital Assets at JPMorgan, described in detail the bank's institutional-grade DeFi plans and highlighted how much value in tokenized assets is waiting in the wings.

"Over time, we think tokenizing U.S. Treasurys or money market fund shares, for example, means these could all potentially be used as collateral in DeFi pools," Lobban said. "The overall goal is to bring these trillions of dollars of assets into DeFi, so that we can use these new mechanisms for trading, borrowing [and] lending, but with the scale of institutional assets."
