JPMorgan cites HBAR as example for tokenized money market funds

Published at 2026-01-16 19:45:36

On Jan. 16, 2026, JPMorgan included the HBAR Network in its reference set for large-scale, regulated asset tokenization, naming it as a leading example for tokenized money market funds. The bank’s reference set is used as a guide for institutional implementations and compliance-ready deployments, and JPMorgan’s endorsement places HBAR squarely in conversations around regulated digital cash and short-duration liquidity products.

Why it matters: institutional validation from a major global bank can accelerate adoption by signaling that HBAR’s architecture meets requirements for scale, custody and regulatory oversight. For markets, this could translate into clearer on-ramps for tokenized short-term instruments, improved liquidity plumbing and more defined compliance pathways — all developments that may boost demand for HBAR-backed token issuance and service providers. Investors should watch subsequent regulatory and custodian integrations that follow this reference inclusion.
