In a joint statement released today, JPMorgan tried to position the partnership with Microsoft—which will allow enterprises to use the bank's publicly available Quorum blockchain—as having implications far beyond the corporate world. The two companies, whose combined valuation is $1.3 trillion, said they signed a memorandum of understanding to accelerate the adoption of blockchain among large enterprises. The statement positions JPMorgan as the first distributed ledger platform available through the Azure Blockchain Service, a set of tools designed to seamlessly integrate with Microsoft’s cloud platform.
