J.P. Morgan and Apollo Collaborate on Blockchain Tokenization Proof of Concept (1)

In a groundbreaking move, financial powerhouses J.P. Morgan and Apollo have teamed up with blockchain firms to showcase a "proof of concept" for tokenizing funds on preferred blockchains. J.P. Morgan, founded and named after John Pierpont Morgan, is an American multinational financial services firm headquartered in New York City. As the largest of the Big Four banks, they specialise in investment banking, commercial banking, financial transaction processing and asset management. The Collaboration J.P. Morgan’s Onyx Digital Assets collaborated with Axelar, Oasis Pro, and Provenance Blockchain to manage client portfolios, execute trades, and enable automated portfolio management of tokenized assets. This aims to bring efficiency to asset and wealth management, offering scalable portfolios across various asset classes and recording locations. Oasis Pro facilitated the tokenization of assets, such as Apollo funds, on the Provenance Blockchain Zone. The initiative is part of Project Guardian, a collaborative effort led by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to explore decentralized finance opportunities. The demonstration at Singapore’s Fintech Festival enabled wealth managers to purchase and rebalance positions in tokenized assets across multiple chains. Blockchain Interoperability for Institutional Financial Services The collaboration is hailed as a first-of-its-kind blockchain interoperability solution for institutional financial services. Provenance Blockchain, with over $16 billion in transactions and $9 billion in real-world financial assets on-chain, played a crucial role in the success of the proof of concept. The move underscores the industry's shift towards embracing blockchain technology for enhanced financial services and asset management. Onyx by J.P.
