Leading global financial services firm and the largest bank in the U.S. JPMorgan has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a second tokenized money market fund on Ethereum (ETH). The proposed fund, trading under the ticker JLTXX, would issue tokenized shares backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries and repo agreements. The filing signals that large banks are increasingly building products around stablecoin infrastructure and on-chain settlement instead of treating blockchain as a side experiment.

JPMorgan Targets Stablecoin Reserve Market

According to the SEC filing from May 12, the JPMorgan OnChain Liquidity-Token Money Market Fund will invest primarily in Treasury securities and overnight repurchase agreements and operate through the bank’s Kinexys Digital Assets platform.

The fund aligns with reserve asset requirements under the GENIUS Act, the U.S. stablecoin law passed last year. JPMorgan stated in the filing that the product aims to support stablecoin issuers seeking compliant Treasury-backed reserve exposure.

Unlike traditional money market funds, investors would receive tokenized fund shares directly on Ethereum. Those tokenized shares could be transferred between approved wallets, used as collateral, or integrated into blockchain-based financial infrastructure. As the filing states:

“The Ethereum blockchain, a public blockchain network, is currently the only available blockchain for use by investors.”

JPMorgan previously launched its first tokenized Treasury-style product, MONY, in 2025. The new JLTXX filing appears more directly tied to stablecoin reserve management and on-chain liquidity systems.

Wall Street Keeps Moving Toward Tokenized Finance

The filing arrives as tokenized Treasury products continue growing across crypto and traditional finance markets. According to rwa.xyz data referenced in industry reports, the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market has expanded to roughly $32 billion during 2026.

BlackRock and Franklin Templeton have also launched blockchain-based Treasury products on Ethereum, while stablecoin issuers increasingly seek yield-bearing reserve assets that can still operate inside the crypto market. As JPMorgan wrote in the prospectus:

“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.” 

The filing also reveals how aggressively traditional finance firms are adapting to blockchain settlement rails. JPMorgan’s structure allows transfers and transaction instructions to move through Ethereum while the official ownership records remain maintained through traditional fund infrastructure.

The SEC has not yet approved the fund, but the filing adds to growing evidence that tokenized Treasuries are becoming one of crypto’s fastest-growing institutional sectors.
