Major Bank Explores Use of Digital Identity

JPMorgan is exploring the idea of a digital wallet that would allow users to control their digital identity and assets across platforms, though the potential offering’s level of decentralization remains to be seen.

The banking giant published a video detailing a planned solution enabling people to choose the identity credentials they want to share in their interactions across Web3, the metaverse and DeFi protocols.

“As digital asset portability and ownership become more prevalent, you’ll need a digital identity that puts you in control over your identity credentials, enabling you to prove who you are, wherever you are by sharing only what you want to share,” the video says. “Imagine using only your credit score to take advantage of buy-now-pay-later options without revealing all of your personal information.”  Source
