JP Morgan led the first commercial paper issuance in the United States using the Solana (SOL) public blockchain, marking a new milestone in the transition of traditional finance to digital assets. Galaxy Digital, Coinbase, and Franklin Templeton participated in the transaction.
This issuance marks the earliest example of a US commercial paper issued on a public blockchain. This is particularly significant given the US government's past efforts to strengthen regulations on public blockchains. In this transaction, JP Morgan created a token called "USCP" and executed it under a "Delivery versus Payment (DvP)" agreement, which involved completing payment simultaneously with the exchange of funds.
โThis transaction demonstrates the institutional demand for digital assets and our ability to securely bring new financial products on-chain using the Solana blockchain,โ said Scott Lucas, JPMorganโs head of digital assets.
Public blockchains with a "permissionless" architecture, like Solana, are open to anyone and boast high levels of openness and transparency. In contrast, Singapore's OCBC Bank's proprietary blockchain, "Kinexys," is permissioned, accessible only to a limited number of participants. This difference is fueling debate over where global financial markets will adopt blockchain adoption.
Meanwhile, in the US, attempts to apply blockchain technology to financial market products such as digital bonds and commercial paper are still rare. JP Morgan has been testing blockchain-based bond and paper issuance in Asian and European markets for several years. This US transaction could signal the expansion of blockchain-based financial markets in the future.

๐ Market Interpretation
Both Coinbase and Solana have opened the door to "permissionless trading," entering the race to become the platform that enables liquidity-driven asset trading without regulation.
This is interpreted as an attempt to fully integrate with DeFi beyond the boundaries of centralized exchanges (CEX).
๐ก Strategy Points
If you're a Solana-based token issuer, you can immediately reach Coinbase users through liquidity and community without listing fees.
This could be an opportunity for new projects focused on utility tokens or DeFi services.
โ๏ธ Regulatory Issues
The Trump administration's regulatory stance on public blockchains has limited the proactive efforts of financial institutions in the United States.
This deal appears to be a tentative move to challenge regulation head-on, or at least bridge the gap, in this climate.
๐ฆ Institutional response
With major financial institutions such as JP Morgan, Galaxy, and Franklin Templeton participating in Solana-based commercial paper transactions, it is expected to serve as a meaningful case study based on real-world use cases.
In particular, the expansion of private-sector-led crypto-finance is likely to accelerate in parallel with discussions on the introduction of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
