Kinexys’s payment activity crosses $2 billion per day, marking a tenfold increase from previous yearly volumes.

JPMorgan said its cryptocurrency feature enables corporate users to quickly transfer money within the pounds-euros-dollars network independently of banking business hours.

Expansion Reflects Growing Demand for Real-Time Cross-Border Solutions

Real-time transactions represent a key solution that blockchain platforms such as Kinexys bring to address current business payment problems.
Blockchain solutions maintain their significance as global organizations strive to improve their cash flow management systems and transactional settlements. The latest Kinexys service gives organizations that handle transactions in various currencies a new method to simplify their financial operations and increase their business efficiency.
JPMorgan intends to increase its blockchain offerings to meet changing requirements from corporate clients. Kinexys maintains expansion plans for new currencies and functionalities that align with the increasing adoption of blockchain in financial services.
