Marex Group plc, a diversified global financial services platform, has announced a strategic collaboration with Brevan Howard Digital to leverage Kinexys by J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys Digital Payments, marking a major step forward in blockchain-powered financial infrastructure.
As the first clearing firm to implement Kinexys Digital Payments’ blockchain deposit accounts, Marex is pioneering faster, more secure, and more efficient payment workflows for its clients. This move is aimed at significantly reducing settlement risk while enabling real-time, programmable payments.
Global Head of Futures & OTC Clearing Sales, Marex, Terry Hollingsworth stated:
“Kinexys by J.P. Morgan is the next generation of financial market infrastructure. By enabling programmable payment and settlement, the platform leverages automation to unlock asset utility and reduce risk. As a firm with innovation and client service at our core, we are proud to collaborate with Brevan Howard Digital on this forward-looking initiative, bringing greater operational efficiency to our clients as well as the wider market.”
Brevan Howard Digital, an early member of the Kinexys network since 2024, has been involved in building out a broader ecosystem of participants in the space.
Kinexys Digital Payments, part of J.P. Morgan’s cutting-edge blockchain division, provides an always-on payment network allowing near-instant settlements via tokenized blockchain deposit accounts. Through this innovation, counterparties can settle trades in real-time—cutting down both the cost and friction traditionally associated with financial settlements, while preserving the same level of institutional-grade security.
“This collaboration reaffirms Marex’s commitment to innovation and technology adoption,” the Group stated. “We aim to continually introduce new efficiencies and deliver better outcomes for our clients and the broader financial market.”
The move also signals a broader shift among financial institutions toward digital-native infrastructures, laying the groundwork for faster, more transparent capital markets.
