Argentina banks pilot JPM Coin test for real-time settlement

Argentine banks are running a pilot test of JPMorgan’s deposit token, JPM Coin, to improve the efficiency of payment settlements, Cointelegraph reported on Monday citing local outlet iProUP. Argentina’s central bank bans banks from offering cryptocurrency services, but allows the use of crypto-based tools within internal infrastructure. Banco CMF is taking part through its newly launched corporate arm QORP, and other banks are considering joining.
