Jikonet Crypto

Where Real-Time Meets Risk-Free

24/7 USD settlement for crypto institutions built on regulated banking rails and a uniquely safe, yield-generating deposit model.

Uniquely Safe Settlement Network, Powered by T-Bills

Organic T-Bill Yield

Funds are auto-invested in government-backed T-bills, earning the “risk-free” rate, while remaining fully accessible for real-time settlement.

Reduced Counterparty Risk

No intermediaries, commingling, or balance sheet exposure ensures the safety of every dollar settled and stored on the network.

Frictionless Operations

Real-time API-first architecture integrates and scales with crypto-native operations to help eliminate cutoff windows, onboarding delays, and operational drag.

Regulated Infrastructure

JikoNet is anchored by Jiko’s nationally chartered bank and registered broker-dealer, ensuring compliant onboarding, and proper oversight of all transactions on the network.

Bringing U.S. T-bill access onto an always-on platform is an important step in how markets evolve. Jiko’s approach and technology are a good fit with the pace at which we’re building, and we’re pleased to support Coinbase’s investment in Jiko through the JikoNet platform.

Frequently asked questions

JikoNet Crypto is a real-time settlement network purpose-built for the digital asset industry. It enables 24/7 movement of U.S. dollars between participants using “Jiko Pockets,” with cash positions immediately invested in T-bills in the recipient’s name, allowing participants to benefit from the safety and security of T-bills while earning yield.

  1. Counterparty Risk: Jiko owns and operates both a regulated national bank (Jiko Bank) and a FINRA-registered broker-dealer (Jiko Securities, Inc.), with asset custody primarily through The Bank of New York Mellon and select custodial partners, ensuring full control and transparency across the entire stack.

  2. Balance Sheet Risk: Clients own T-bills directly in their name. Jiko does not engage in lending or rehypothecation; client assets remain safe, liquid, and are always earning the yield of T-bills.

  3. Compliance & Trust: JikoNet Crypto is a regulated settlement platform, purpose-built to meet the operational, regulatory, and audit needs of the crypto industry.

  4. Settlement Speed: By operating outside of traditional correspondent banking rails, JikoNet Crypto enables near-instant movement of funds, reducing delays, settlement risk, and operational risk.

Transfers across Jiko Pockets occur in real time and are available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Jiko Securities is a carrying broker with FINRA that operates 24/7 to buy and sell T-bills from Jiko clients. Money movement occurs on the bank’s ledger, and all resulting cash positions are immediately swept into T-bills.

Funds are transferred across Jiko Pockets, which combine a bank account and a brokerage account.

When a transaction is initiated from one Pocket to another, Jiko facilitates an instant on-us transfer by liquidating the sender's T-bills, sweeping the proceeds to the receiver’s Pocket as cash, and investing the funds in T-bills on behalf of the receiver, all in real time.

Yes. While transfers are internal to Jiko’s infrastructure, APIs and integration options allow interoperability with custodians, exchanges, and enterprise platforms.

JikoNet is open to:

  • Exchanges

  • Market makers

  • Custodians

  • OTC desks

  • Crypto-native platforms

All participants must pass Jiko’s onboarding, KYC/AML, and regulatory compliance checks.
