Why tokenization is gaining momentum
Tokenization and digital assets are moving from experimentation to real-world implementation, from hype to measurable outcomes. In this episode of Making Sense, Hannah Elson, global head of Custody and EMEA head of Securities Services, sits down with Oli Harris, global head of Kinexys by J.P. Morgan, to discuss what’s changed over the last 18 months: clearer regulation, growing institutional adoption and the rise of credible “on-chain money” that enables true delivery-versus-payment settlement. They explore where clients are investing first, including 24/7 cross-border payments, liquidity and collateral efficiency and tokenized money market funds, as well as the hurdles still to solve, such as interoperability, privacy and governance and user experience.

The Fed hikes rates. What happens now?
For the first time in three years, the overnight federal funds rate is going up, as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted to raise rates at its September meeting. In this episode of Making Sense, Samantha Azzarello, head of Content Strategy for Global Research, sits down with Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at J.P. Morgan, to discuss what went into the FOMC's decision, what to make of chair Kevin Warsh's press conference and how the unanimous Committee vote affects concerns over Fed independence. They also discuss whether rates might be considered restrictive, whether we're at the start of a hiking cycle and what to watch from here. This episode was recorded on September 17, 2026.

Navigating credit markets in 2026: “Don’t let the macro narrative overwhelm the micro”
As Treasury yields stay elevated and spreads remain historically tight, rates appear to be bleeding directly into credit — and investors are increasingly viewing credit through a rates lens. In this episode of Making Sense, Brian LaRocca, head of Vida Portfolio Solutions, Americas, joins Benjamin Kinney, global head of Credit and Public Finance Sales, to discuss what a "ratesified" market structure means for price discovery, electronification and portfolio trading. They also explore how policy uncertainty may be better expressed in FX than duration, why AI/data-center financing is still in the early innings (and what that means for clearing prices and volatility) and how private credit is evolving after “SaaSPocalypse.” To learn more about J.P.
