Benefits

Other

  • Money Market Funds (MMFs) become more stable if investors can use their MMF shares directly as collateral, instead of selling them for cash. This reduces pressure on MMFs during market stress.
  • Traditional: Investor sells MMF shares to get cash for margin call, causing fund outflows.
  • Tokenized: Investor uses MMF shares/tokens directly as collateral, avoiding sale and fund outflows.

Tokenized Money Market Fund:

  • 1. Investor buys tokenized MMF shares
  • 2. Shares held digitally in investor's wallet
  • 3. Investor can use tokens as collateral without selling
  • 4. Yield accrues to tokens (via price increase or rebasing)
  • 5. Investor sells or redeems tokens when needed

Traditional Money Market Fund:

  • 1. Investor purchases MMF shares
  • 2. Shares held in brokerage account
  • 3. To use as collateral, investor must sell shares for cash
  • 4. Yield typically distributed or reinvested
  • 5. Investor redeems shares for cash when needed
