JPMorgan Chase and Coinbase have announced a groundbreaking partnership aimed at making cryptocurrency more accessible and secure for customers. The collaboration introduces features that will simplify how users interact with digital assets, while reinforcing trust in crypto services.

Chase customers will be able to connect their bank accounts directly to Coinbase wallets through JPMorgan’s secure API. They can also transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to their Coinbase accounts at a 1:1 redemption rate — 100 points equals $1 in crypto value. This marks the first time a major credit card rewards program can be used to fund a crypto wallet.

Starting Fall 2025, customers will be able to fund Coinbase accounts using Chase credit cards. The direct bank-to-wallet connection and rewards point transfers are expected to launch in 2026. Leaders from both companies say this partnership will empower users, expand choice, and lower barriers to entry, helping bring the next wave of consumers into the future of onchain finance.
