<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley Investment Management<\/a>\u00a0(MSIM) has launched a new government money market fund designed to meet the needs of payment stablecoin issuers that are looking to invest the reserves that back their outstanding payment stablecoins.<\/p>\n

\n

The new\u00a0Stablecoin Reserves Portfolio<\/a>\u00a0(MSNXX) is designed to align with the stablecoin reserves investment requirements of the\u00a0GENIUS Act<\/a>, the company said\u00a0in\u00a0a Thursday\u00a0(April 23)\u00a0press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This investment solution targets preservation of capital, daily\u00a0liquidity\u00a0and maximum current income. It invests only in cash, U.S. Treasury bills,\u00a0notes\u00a0and bonds with remaining maturities of\u00a093 days\u00a0or less, as well as overnight repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities and\/or cash, according to the release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe significant increase in stablecoin issuers as well as the growing number of assets held in stablecoins represents an evolving portion of the marketplace that is ripe for future growth,\u201d\u00a0Fred McMullen<\/a>, co-head of global liquidity at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, said in the release.<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley<\/a> is pursuing a firm-wide strategy of expanding access to digital investment solutions, making them more\u00a0broadly accessible\u00a0to all client segments,\u00a0Amy Oldenburg<\/a>, head of digital asset strategy at Morgan Stanley, said in the release.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping innovative ways to work with stablecoin issuers is another step towards modernizing the financial infrastructure and a\u00a0key way\u00a0to improve our institutional clients\u2019 experience,\u201d Oldenburg said.<\/p>\n

In another initiative in this area, PYMNTS reported in February that Morgan Stanley\u00a0submitted an application\u00a0to the\u00a0Office of the Comptroller of the Currency<\/a>\u00a0(OCC) for a charter for a new institution called \u201cMorgan Stanley Digital Trust, National Association\u201d as a national trust bank with requested trust powers.<\/p>\n

The application is an attempt to stand up a new federally chartered legal entity optimized for\u00a0digital asset<\/a> activity. The goal for the new institution is Morgan Stanley trying to own the custody, settlement and fiduciary plumbing layer of blockchain finance under U.S. bank supervision, according to the report.<\/p>\n

In January, it was reported that Morgan Stanley was entering the cryptocurrency\u00a0exchange-traded fund<\/a>\u00a0(ETF) space by submitting paperwork for a Bitcoin Trust and a Solana Trust, each of which would hold the individual cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
