The service, announced Thursday, will be available to the bank’s most affluent customers through its private banking arm.
This is JPMorgan’s first major step toward widespread deployment of its fund tokenization platform in 2026. This shows how one of the world’s largest financial institutions is beginning to digitize its real-world assets.
The first step to digital money management
For many investors, private equity funds are known for their exclusivity and long lock-up periods. By using blockchain, JPMorgan aims to make access to such assets smoother, more transparent, and more efficient. Simply put, tokenization means changing the ownership of an asset into digital tokens that are recorded on a blockchain. This allows stocks within a fund to be traded, tracked and settled more quickly and with fewer intermediaries than traditional systems.
The bank’s decision to start with private equity funds is strategic. These funds typically have complex ownership structures and long investment horizons. This makes them ideal candidates for blockchain secure and transparent record-keeping. Tokenization allows investors to see their holdings in real-time and allows transactions that once took days to settle in minutes.

The experiment is part of JPMorgan’s ongoing digital asset efforts. The bank already operates its own blockchain network, Onyx, which supports tokenized deposits and payments at scale. Currently, JPMorgan is expanding its blockchain ecosystem from payments to investment products as it moves to tokenize its funds.
