JPMorgan (JPM) is teaming up with six Indian banks to introduce a blockchain-based platform to settle interbank dollar transactions, according to reports by Bloomberg.
The investment bank will run a pilot project over the coming months with HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Yes Bank, IndusInd Bank, and JPM's own banking unit at the Gujurat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City).
The aim of the project is to settle dollar trades in real-time as opposed to over a matter of hours and only on business days.
The project will be headquartered in GIFT City, a move that will help to further position the business district as an international finance hub.
