JPMorgan Asset Management has filed with the SEC to launch a second tokenised money market fund on Ethereum, with the filing becoming effective 13 May. The new fund, branded the OnChain Liquidity-Token Money Market Fund and trading under the ticker JLTXX, is structured to comply with both traditional money market regulation and the stablecoin reserve requirements introduced by last year's GENIUS Act.

JLTXX Is Built Specifically for Stablecoin Issuers

The filing makes the product's purpose unusually explicit. JLTXX will invest in short-term US Treasury securities and fully collateralized overnight repurchase agreements, the same conservative asset mix that anchors conventional money market funds. The structure is designed to maintain a stable $1.00 net asset value, comply with the SEC's Rule 2a-7 money market standards, and meet potential reserve requirements under the GENIUS Act for compliant stablecoin issuers.

That last detail is the strategic point. The GENIUS Act, signed into law in July 2025, requires regulated stablecoin issuers to hold reserve assets in specific qualifying instruments. Tokenised money market funds backed by short-term Treasuries are one of the cleanest fits for that requirement, and JPMorgan is positioning JLTXX as a turnkey solution for issuers who need to hold reserves in a compliant, blockchain-native vehicle.

The fund introduces Token Class Shares, which let investors hold and transfer fund shares on-chain while traditional book-entry ownership records are maintained off-chain in parallel. Mint and burn operations are handled through smart contracts deployed by JPMorgan's Kinexys Digital Assets unit, with allow-listed addresses, AML compliance controls and permissioned access sitting as a regulated overlay on top of the public Ethereum network. The filing notes that Ethereum is the only supported network at launch but signals expansion to other chains in the future.

This Is JPMorgan's Second Tokenized Fund on Ethereum in Five Months

JLTXX follows MONY, the My OnChain Net Yield Fund, which JPMorgan launched on Ethereum in December 2025 with a $100 million seed allocation. The two funds are differentiated by purpose and distribution. MONY targets institutional cash management more broadly. JLTXX is engineered specifically for stablecoin reserve compliance, with structural choices including the 485BPOS amendment filing form that suggests broader distribution and a lower bar for institutional access than MONY's initial setup.

Both products run on Kinexys, the blockchain platform JPMorgan rebranded from Onyx in 2024 and which now serves as the bank's primary infrastructure for tokenisation, deposit tokens and on-chain settlement. The platform processed roughly $2 billion in daily transaction volume across its various product lines through the back half of 2025 and has been the operational backbone for JPMorgan's recent collaborations with Ondo Finance, Mastercard and Ripple on cross-border tokenised Treasury settlement.

The Tokenized Money Market Race Is Now Fully On

JPMorgan's filing lands in a category that has gone from speculative to actively competitive in under twelve months. Tokenised US Treasuries on-chain crossed $12.88 billion by early April 2026, with BlackRock's BUIDL, Franklin Templeton's BENJI, Ondo's OUSG, Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon products all competing for institutional allocations.

Franklin Templeton's BENJI, the most directly comparable product to JLTXX, is available on a broader range of blockchains including BNB Chain, Canton and Avalanche. JPMorgan's decision to launch on Ethereum first reflects both the network's institutional dominance and the strategic priority of stablecoin reserve compatibility. Most major regulated stablecoins, including USDC and the increasingly relevant compliant alternatives, settle primarily on Ethereum.

JLTXX still requires SEC approval before investors can access it, and the bank has not disclosed a formal launch date. The filing's effective date of 13 May indicates how rapidly the product is moving through regulatory review, and the structural design for GENIUS Act compatibility suggests JPMorgan expects the stablecoin reserve market to scale quickly enough to justify a dedicated product line.
