JPMorgan's tokenized money market fund reached $693 million in assets just two months after launch, with stablecoin issuers driving most of the growth. **Why stablecoins are parking reserves onchain:** - The GENIUS Act prohibits stablecoin issuers from paying interest directly on their tokens - Instead, they're depositing reserves into regulated onchain funds that generate yield - This creates a new infrastructure layer where regulated yield becomes the foundation **The emerging structure:** Regulated yield products are forming the base layer of institutional DeFi, with institutional credit products being built on top. BlackRock has already adapted one of its money market funds specifically for stablecoin issuers as a GENIUS Act-compliant reserve asset. This shift signals how traditional finance infrastructure is being rebuilt onchain to accommodate regulatory requirements while maintaining yield generation capabilities.
