JPMorgan issues ether-linked auto-callable notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is issuing $347,000 of Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ticker ETHA), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes have a minimum denomination of $1,000 and priced on January 30, 2026, with expected settlement on or about February 4, 2026 and maturity on February 2, 2029. They may be automatically called on February 5, 2027 if the ETF’s closing price is at or above the Call Value, paying $1,000 plus a fixed Call Premium Amount of $412.50 per $1,000 note.
If not called and the ETF appreciates, investors receive an uncapped return equal to 1.50 times the ETF’s positive return at maturity. If the final price is at or above a Barrier Amount set at 60% of the Initial Value, investors receive their principal back. If the final price falls below the Barrier Amount, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the ETF decline, and investors can lose a significant portion or all of their principal.
The notes pay no interest, are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The price to public is $1,000 per note, including fees and commissions of $7.6945 per $1,000, with proceeds to the issuer of $992.3055 per $1,000. The estimated value at pricing was $955.70 per $1,000 note, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs. The structure involves substantial risks related to ether and the Ethereum network, potential illiquidity, limited ETF history and possible early acceleration if the ETF is liquidated without a successor fund.
