What is JPM Coin and how does it work in Argentina?

JPM Coin's a bank-issued deposit token for institutional settlements. Argentine banks like CMF test it internally on blockchain for faster reconciliations, no client funds involved yet.

Can Argentine banks offer crypto services now?

No, BCRA bans it for clients, but internal blockchain tests are okay — for now.

Will JPM Coin replace traditional settlements in LatAm?

Doubtful short-term; pilots promise speed, but history shows most fizzle post-hype.
