Morgan Chase executives met with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) encryption money task force to discuss the possible impact of digital asset regulation and the migration of capital markets to the chain.
According to a SEC announcement shared on Tuesday, Morgan Chase executives discussed with the SEC the potential impact of the migration of existing capital market activities to public block chains - —including which areas of the existing model may change and how companies assess the risks and benefits of these changes.
The parties also explored the existing “business footprint” of Morgan Chase in encrypted space, including its current digital platform for processing buy-back agreements. Repurchase agreements are a form of short-term borrowing in financial markets and are part of their “digital finance” and “digital debt services”.
Morgan Chase also assessed where it could create a “competitive advantage” to stay ahead of other financial institutions, as they were seeking to achieve faster and cheaper transactions through block chains and to unlock new sources of income through the monetization of assets.

Morgan Chase says there's no stabilization plan.
Although the JPMD trademark triggered speculation that Morgan Chase would issue stabilization coins with other major banks, Navin Mallera, the head of the Morgan Chase block chain sector, Kinexys, told Bloomberg that deposit tokens were “a better choice than stabilization coins” for institutions. He noted that part of the reserve support for deposits made it more scalable.
Deposits represent United States dollar deposits in client bank accounts and operate more in the traditional banking framework, as compared to the figures of the legal currency only, supported by cash and its equivalent.
