Marex (MRX), a global financial services platform, has become the first clearing firm to integrate Kinexys Digital Payments, a blockchain-based settlement system developed by JPMorgan (JPM), through a collaboration with Brevan Howard Digital, the company said in a press release on Wednesday.
The initiative is aimed at modernizing payment infrastructure and reducing settlement risk by leveraging programmable, always-on digital ledger technology, the company said.
Kinexys is part of JPMorgan’s broader push into digital assets and allows for near-instant settlement through blockchain deposit accounts, marking a significant shift from legacy rails to 24/7 digital clearing mechanisms.
Brevan Howard Digital, which joined the Kinexys network in 2024, has been collaborating with partners to develop a broader ecosystem for blockchain-based financial services.
