BlackRock has launched two tokenized money market funds.
The $6.2 billion BlackRock Select Treasury Based Liquidity Fund (BSTBL) now has a tokenized share class issued on
@ethereum, with BNY as transfer agent and tokenization provider.
A second vehicle, BRSRV, launches alongside it, with Securitize as transfer agent and tokenization provider.
Both invest in cash, short-term US Treasuries, and overnight repo backed by Treasuries, and both intend to qualify as eligible reserve assets for permitted US payment stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act.
BlackRock at a glance:
→ Over $15 trillion in assets under management
→ More than $1 trillion overseen by its Cash Management business
→ Around $60 billion in stablecoin reserves already managed
The world's largest asset manager and the world's largest custodian are both building on Ethereum.
