J.P. Morgan announces its latest fund.
The largest U.S. bank with over $4T in assets has officially filed its new tokenized money market fund with the SEC. Following on from launching its MONY fund at the end of last year, this fund will be particularly aimed at attracting the interest of stablecoin issuer reserves.
Within the prospectus filed to the SEC, it is described that:
The Fund invests in a manner intended to satisfy the requirements for eligible reserve assets that stablecoin issuers are required to maintain under the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (otherwise referred to as the GENIUS Act) and regulations adopted thereunder, to support investment in the Fund by stablecoin issuers seeking to comply with such requirements.
Interestingly, J.P. Morgan allows for the redemption and conversion of TMMFs (Tokenized Money Market Funds) shares in a variety of ways.
Holders can choose to receive redemption in cash to a blockchain wallet address (labelled as “Burn Address”) via Kinexys (JP Morgan’s own proprietary blockchain), as well as being compatible with Ethereum.
There is also an option to convert U.S. Dollars received before purchasing and for redeeming the fund’s shares back into stablecoins.
While it is not specifically mentioned who the third-party service providers will be (only compatible with Morgan Money accounts), it does highlight that USDC stablecoin is the only stablecoin that will be accepted.
