JPMorgan's JPM Coin Deposit Token JPMD Goes Live on Base

What happened
JPMorgan's tokenized products now live on Ethereum mainnet include JPMD (USD deposit token, on Ethereum and Base), MONY (tokenized money market fund) and JLTXX (tokenized money market fund). JPMorgan's product announcement says Ethereum's onchain liquidity makes it a natural next public blockchain for JPM Coin, and institutional clients can now move money on Ethereum in addition to Base. @base announced Aave is bringing lending and borrowing to tokenized stocks on Base, referencing @StaniKulechov.
+ 8 more in the evidence register ↓Why it matters
For a crypto-native audience, Base's story this week is no longer just 'another L2' — it's becoming the venue where TradFi and AI agents plug in. JPMorgan's JPMD moving onto Base turns a bank deposit token into L2 infrastructure, and x402 letting AI agents pay in Base USDC makes the chain a settlement layer for machine commerce. Both raise the question of whether Base's edge is culture (memes, summits) or rails (institutional money and agent payments).

Risks
- Unverified: any hack, exploit or rumor claims in these posts are not confirmed by the provided evidence.
- Airdrop speculation around $BASE (e.g. @jimbo_finance's post) is an account's claim, not a Base announcement.
- Some posts may be coordinated promotion or shilling; the Aave-on-Base, GMGN Base Track and Meme Summit posts originate from or are reshared from @base and @buildonbase, which are the project's own channels.
- Revenue, holder and TVL figures cited in posts (@solananew, @SolCommunityy, @richardnhsu) are claims by those accounts and are not verified by a `market` block this week.
