Breaking News: JPMorgan Enables Cryptocurrency Purchases with Chase Cards via Coinbase Partnership

JPMorgan & Chase has partnered with Coinbase to allow Chase customers direct access to cryptocurrency. Starting this fall, Chase credit card holders will be able to fund their Coinbase accounts directly, a feature that is a first of its kind between a major bank and a crypto exchange.

In 2026, customers will have the ability to make direct bank-to-wallet transfers via JPMorgan’s secure API and convert Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Coinbase at a 1:1 rate. This is the first time a credit card rewards program can fund a crypto wallet. Additionally, JPMorgan is considering the launch of crypto-backed loans using Bitcoin and Ethereum as collateral, potentially starting in 2026.
