In a major move to bridge traditional finance with digital assets, Coinbase has announced a strategic partnership with JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the U.S., to make crypto more accessible than ever for over 80 million Chase customers.

Starting this fall, Chase users will gain three new ways to engage with cryptocurrency through Coinbase:

• Credit Card Support: Chase credit card holders will be able to fund their Coinbase accounts directly, making crypto purchases simpler and faster.
   
• Crypto via Reward Points (Launching 2026): Customers will be able to redeem Chase Ultimate Rewards points for USDC, a stablecoin issued by Coinbase. This marks the first time a major credit card rewards program allows users to convert points into cryptocurrency.
   
• Direct Bank Linking (Launching 2026): A new integration will allow Chase account holders to directly link their bank accounts to Coinbase, offering a seamless way to buy crypto alongside existing payment options.

This partnership aims to lower barriers to entry, expand access to digital assets, and welcome the next wave of crypto users. Coinbase continues to position itself as the trusted bridge between traditional banking and the decentralized economy.

Stay tuned—this is just the beginning of broader mainstream crypto adoption.
