Marex Becomes First Clearing Firm to Adopt JPMorgan's Kinexys With Brevan Howard Digital
The initiative is aimed at modernizing payment infrastructure and reducing settlement risk by leveraging programmable, always-on digital ledger technology, the company said.
Kinexys is part of JPMorgan's broader push into digital assets and allows for near-instant settlement through blockchain deposit accounts, marking a significant shift from legacy rails to 24/7 digital clearing mechanisms.
Brevan Howard Digital, which joined the Kinexys network in 2024, has been collaborating with partners to develop a broader ecosystem for blockchain-based financial services.
Marex's adoption of the platform underscores its commitment to streamlining operations and enhancing client service via next-gen infrastructure.
'Kinexys by JPMorgan is the next generation of financial market infrastructure,' said Terry Hollingsworth, Marex's global head of futures and over-the-counter (OTC) clearing sales, in the release.
Akshika Gupta, global head of client solutions at Kinexys, said "24/7 settlements represents a significant milestone in the advancement of financial market infrastructure,' reaffirming the firm's role in pushing forward institutional-grade blockchain solutions.Sign in to access your portfolio

An AI-driven 'jobless recovery' could hit this group of workers particularly hard
There's one group of workers that could be in for a particularly rough time as AI becomes more integrated into the economy. Murat Tasci, a senior US economist at JPMorgan, thinks AI is poised to replace a vast swath of white-collar knowledge workers — office workers, in other words, who have "non-routine cognitive occupations," the bank wrote in a note to clients last week. The result could be a "jobless recovery" in the labor market — a situation where white-collar knowledge workers face a structurally higher risk of unemployment as growth in their sector remains feeble, Tasci said. The shift could also pose a huge risk to the overall economy, Tasci suggested, given that white-collar knowledge workers account for around 45% of all household employment in the US. "A much larger unemployment risk and anemic recovery prospects for these workers might cause the next labor market downturn to look pretty dismal," Tasci wrote, speculating that policy makers may need to significantly ease monetary policy or inject the economy with stimulus as workers adjust to changes in the job market. The idea that AI could be taking away some white-collar jobs has been on Wall Street's radar for a while, but there are signs that the trend may already be beginning to play out in some areas of the job market, Tasci said, such as for entry-level workers. The rising jobless rate among recent college graduates is related to the hype for AI, JPMorgan said previously. The share of unemployment accounted for by non-routine cognitive workers has also already surpassed the share of unemployment accounted for by routine workers in recent years, per JPMorgan's analysis. JPMorgan says that workers in "routine cognitive occupations," — those who have repetitive jobs in areas like sales — as well as "routine manual occupations" have already been through a jobless recovery. The percentage of workers in the US who have a "routine" job has dropped from around 55% to 40% over the last four decades, according to the bank's analysis of Labor Department data. The impact of AI on the job market hasn't significantly impacted employment figures yet, Tasci noted. The overall unemployment rate in the US remains near a historic low, hovering around 4.2% in July. Still, he said the bank believed the pressures on white-collar knowledge workers could build over time. "More importantly for this note, disappearing routine jobs have a pronounced cyclical behavior. Throughout recessions over the past four decades, it took increasingly longer to recover from recession-induced job losses in routine occupations," Tasci said. "We are not seeing an imminent downturn in the labor market, though the risks are higher relative to a month ago," he later added. The job market has flashed signs of weakening in recent months. The US added far fewer jobs than expected over the month of July, while job gains over the months of May and June were revised downward by a combined 258,000.
