Executives from JPMorgan Chase and Apollo unveil plans for tokenized enterprise mainnet

JPMorgan Managing Director Tyrone Lobban noted that the new system has processed over $900 billion in assets since its launch.

Top executives from US-based financial services firms JPMorgan Chase and Apollo Global Management have revealed their plans for the tokenized enterprise mainnet, developed in collaboration with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

The duo worked together on the MAS crypto pilot Project Guardian, which aimed to explore the tokenization of assets using public blockchains.

Enterprise Mainnet: A first-mover advantage

After working with MAS to test their new blockchain project, Apollo partner Christine Moy and JPMorgan managing director Tyrone Lobban sat down for an interview with Forbes on November 27 to discuss tokenization and its potential applications in the world to discuss the entire financial industry.

When asked how digital assets fit into Apollo’s broader mandate, Moy explained how production-grade tokenization led to the development of JPMorgan’s innovative tradable product, the Intraday Repo.

According to Moy, the system serves as a corporate mainnet, referring to the intraday repo. The Apollo partner said the product has a first-mover advantage in providing tokenized investment vehicles. Drawing parallels to the success of Ethereum (Ether), she explained:

“Obviously we have seen the progress and innovation of Ether, and now all the next-generation innovations have emerged there.”

She also emphasized that the enterprise mainnet provides scalability and gives software developers the ability to deploy applications on a network that already meets Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements for institutional banks, broker-dealers and asset managers.

Lobban also chimed in, noting that the new system has processed over $900 billion in assets since its launch. He said:

“There was actually no intraday repo market before, and now we transact around $2 billion worth of intraday repo trades per day through our platform.”

He also highlighted the broader implications of blockchain technology, stating that the public ledger is an exciting technology.

“Blockchain is a very interesting technology for efficiency purposes and creating streamlined billings, but actually people aren’t necessarily talking about the ability to create new products, things that didn’t exist before,” he continued.

MAS presents measures for DPT service providers

MAS expanded its Project Guardian by launching five additional industry pilots on November 15 to explore various use cases around asset tokenization. The financial regulator introduced five new initiatives as part of the project, including Global Layer One (GL1), which saw heavyweights such as JPMorgan, Apollo, DBS, BNY Mellon and MUFG explore ways to simplify cross-border transactions and create global liquidity pools.

During the pilot, JPMorgan and Apollo worked together to focus on testing digital assets to improve seamless management of discretionary portfolios and alternative assets and automate portfolio rebalancing at scale, resulting in the creation of the Intraday Repo.

Other financial institutions involved in Project Guardian such as Citi, Fidelity and T Rowe Price have joined forces to explore the use of foreign exchange (FX) and oracles on the Avalanche blockchain.

Some of the 17 financial institutions that participated in the pilot are actively working to define software stacks that enable agnostic interoperability across different asset pools, demonstrating ongoing collaboration and commitment to transformative innovation.

Last week, the MAS introduced measures for digital payment token (DPT) providers to discourage speculation in crypto investments. These measures include assessing customers’ risk awareness, rejecting credit card purchases, and avoiding incentives for retail customers to discourage price speculation.
