Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) plans to use JPMorgan’s blockchain platform to process fund transfers in investment funds.
MUFG, Japan’s largest financial group, intends to implement JPMorgan’s Kinexys Fund Flow platform, which enables automated capital movement between fund participants and significantly speeds up settlements through distributed ledger technology (DLT).
Kinexys Fund Flow is a blockchain platform developed by JPMorgan’s blockchain division to digitize operations in alternative investments. The DLT network tokenizes investor data and uses smart contracts to automatically transfer funds between investor and fund manager accounts, replacing traditional manual processes and bank transfers.
The solution enables near-instant transactions instead of the several days typical of traditional fund administration infrastructure. It also reduces operational costs and the risk of errors by providing a single source of truth for all participants.
Kinexys Fund Flow is part of a broader suite of JPMorgan products used to implement blockchain infrastructure in institutional finance. For example, JPMorgan’s Kinexys Digital Payments platform was launched back in 2019, and by 2025 it’s used for corporate payments by QNB Group’s Qatar division, DBS Bank, financial services firm Marex, and many others.
