BNY customers, the world's largest custody bank, will be able to invest in the Goldman Blockchain platform in the Blockchain platform of Goldman, according to the managers of the two companies.

The Wall Street Giants believes that the tokenization of the money market industry in the amount of $ 7.1 trillion is the next leap for digital assets after President Donald Trump signed a law last week that marks the arrival of stable coins with the USA. The Genius Act is expected to increase the popularity and use of stable coins that are typically packed on the US dollar, and JPmorgan ChaseCitigroup and Bank of America Said they examine their use in payments.
But in contrast to stable coins, tokenized money market funds pay the owners a return, which makes it an attractive place for hedge funds, pensions and companies to park their money.
“We have created the ability of our customers to invest in a number of fund companies in tokenized money share classes in the money market tactics,” said Laide Majiyagbe, Bny's global director of liquidity, financing and collateral. “The step of the token is important, because today it enables seamless and efficient transactions without the fricids appear in traditional markets.”
The banks see it as the basis for a future in which money market funds are always traded in real time in a digital ecosystem. Investors and companies could rely on stable coins for global payments and tokenized money market funds for cash management.
However, the tokens of the wealth class give the funds new skills that go beyond speed and user -friendliness. According to BNY and Goldman, the digitized funds could finally be transferred between financial intermediaries without having to liquidate funds in cash.
This could strengthen its use by the world's largest financial actors as collateral for a variety of shops and margin requirements, said Mathew McDermott, Goldman's global manager for digital assets.
Money market funds are investment funds that are usually invested in safer, short -term securities, including government bonds, repo agreements or commercial paper. In recent years, institutional and retail investors have introduced themselves to the wealth class and has been pouring around $ 2.5 trillion into them in 2022 since the beginning of the Federal Reserve.
“The sheer scale of this market offers only a great opportunity to create much more efficiency for the entire financial sanitary installation,” said McDermott. “This is really powerful because they create usefulness in an instrument that does not exist today.”
