Under the agreement, millions of JPMorgan Chase customers will gain direct access to their Coinbase accounts through the bank’s mobile app and online banking platform, enabling cryptocurrency trading and digital asset management within a unified financial ecosystem.
The partnership includes:
The launch schedule for the features has been planned in stages. The credit card funding option is expected to be rolled out in Fall 2025, while the direct connection and point transfer features are expected to be available in 2026.
Melissa Feldsher, head of Payments and Credit Innovation at JPMorgan Chase, said, “This partnership allows customers to evaluate their financial assets and rewards in more flexible ways while maintaining the privacy of their data.”
Max Branzburg, head of Consumer and Business Products at Coinbase, added, “This step is an important part of our goal to bring a new generation of users into the crypto ecosystem and expand access to financial services.”
JPMorgan Chase, with $3.7 trillion in assets, serves millions of customers globally and has maintained uninterrupted dividend payments for 55 years. Coinbase aims to expand economic freedom through its platform for trading, staking, storing, spending, and transferring crypto assets.
