PANews reported on October 22 that according to Bloomberg, industrial giant Siemens and digital asset market maker B2C2 have begun using JPMorgan Chase's blockchain foreign exchange payment platform.
The service supports cross-border foreign exchange transactions in US dollars, British pounds, and euros 24/7, with near-instant settlement. This significantly improves transaction efficiency compared to traditional foreign exchange transfers, which are limited to business days and can take several days.


BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
