JP Morgan is deploying its bank-issued deposit token, JPM Coin, directly on the Canton network. The strategic choice raises questions about blockchain infrastructure competition—why bypass Ripple's XRP Ledger in favor of Canton? This move signals how traditional financial institutions are evaluating different blockchain ecosystems for their tokenized solutions. The decision reflects considerations around network compatibility, institutional partnerships, and long-term infrastructure preferences in the evolving digital asset landscape.

JPM chooses Canton over XRP, this is the power game played by big institutions. Whoever has more ecosystem partners wins.

JPMorgan is still playing the same game, just choosing the infrastructure that benefits itself. What can Canton offer that XRP cannot? In the game of institutional players, we can't get a slice of this cake.

JPM chooses Canton over XRP, essentially still relying on institutions. Although XRP's ecosystem is mature, it is ultimately too tightly controlled by Ripple, which major banks cannot accept.

JPMorgan still bypassed XRP, it seems traditional finance just doesn't want to be tied to Ripple.

honestly, if you analyze the data, canton's throughput metrics are demonstrably superior for institutional settlement patterns. jpmorgan's not bypassing xrp out of spite—they're optimizing for base layer efficiency. that's just empirically proven infrastructure hierarchy at work here.

JPMorgan bypassed XRP and chose Canton, basically siding with institutional solutions. That's just how traditional finance is...

NGL, Ripple has been sidelined. JPMorgan choosing Canton is a bit harsh... Traditional finance is finally dropping the act, XRP holders are about to be disappointed again.

JP Morgan chose Canton over XRP. Frankly, it's still a power game; big institutions love to build their own ecosystems.
