JPMorgan plans to introduce a new tokenized money market fund on Ethereum, named OnChain Liquidity-Token Money Market Fund (ticker JLTXX), which will allow stablecoin issuers to manage their reserves in a regulated manner. The fund aims to generate interest for investors while maintaining cash-like liquidity, investing primarily in US Treasury bills and repurchase agreements backed by Treasurys or cash. A filing submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission indicates that the fund will comply with the GENIUS Act, a legislation designed for stablecoins.
With a minimum investment threshold set at $1 million, the fund will have an annual fee of 0.16% after applicable waivers. The management will be handled by JPMorgan’s blockchain division, Kinexys Digital Assets. Although the filing becomes effective on Wednesday, the exact launch date remains undisclosed.
This initiative follows a similar product launched by Morgan Stanley and highlights the rising interest in blockchain technology among financial institutions. More than $32.2 billion in real-world assets has already been tokenized, encompassing various asset classes like commodities and stocks. This move underscores JPMorgan's expanding footprint in the blockchain space, following its earlier launch of the My OnChain Net Yield Fund in December.
