JPMorgan has filed to launch the JPMorgan OnChain Liquidity-Token Money Market Fund, or JLTXX, using Ethereum as the transaction layer for tokenized fund balances. The proposed money market fund would invest only in U.S. Treasurys and fully collateralized overnight repurchase agreements, and the filing says it is designed to satisfy reserve asset standards set under the GENIUS Act.
Fund structure is built around reserve eligibility
According to the SEC filing, JLTXX will operate under JPMorgan Trust IV and maintain a stable $1 net asset value. Its holdings would include short-term U.S. Treasury bills, notes, bonds, and overnight repos backed by Treasurys or cash. The filing states that stablecoin issuers may use the fund as an eligible reserve asset, placing the product directly in the path of the regulated stablecoin market.
The GENIUS Act established federal reserve requirements for stablecoin issuers in 2025. JLTXX is structured with those rules in mind, linking a tokenized money market fund to a growing compliance need rather than presenting it as a standalone blockchain product.
Ethereum handles token movement while ownership records stay offchain
The filing shows that Ethereum would be used for transfers of tokenized fund balances, but the official register of ownership would still be maintained by JPMorgan’s transfer agent through traditional book-entry records. That means balances can move onchain between approved participants without changing the existing legal ownership framework.
Kinexys Digital Assets, a division within JPMorgan Chase Bank, will manage the blockchain infrastructure behind the fund. Investors will transact through approved wallet addresses inside a permissioned framework layered on Ethereum. JPMorgan said blockchain balances are expected to match investor share ownership on a one-for-one basis.
For now, the filing lists Ethereum as the only supported blockchain. JPMorgan also said it expects to add other networks later.
Minutes-long settlement and a $1 million entry point
JPMorgan said transactions in JLTXX could settle within minutes, compared with traditional timelines of T+1 or T+2. That gives the fund a faster operating model for liquidity transfers, though access is clearly limited to large participants.
The product carries a $1 million minimum investment, keeping it focused on institutional investors. Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said JLTXX has a post-waiver fee of 0.16%, below many traditional money market funds.
Part of a broader tokenized finance buildout
JLTXX follows JPMorgan’s earlier launch of MONY, its first tokenized money market fund introduced on Ethereum last year with a $100 million seed investment from the bank. The new filing suggests JPMorgan is extending that work from an initial product launch into a broader institutional liquidity stack tied to blockchain rails.
The bank is continuing that buildout through Kinexys, which already supports tokenized deposits, programmable payments, and real-time settlement tools for institutional finance. The market around tokenized Treasurys is also getting more crowded. The source notes that BlackRock has recently filed to tokenize Treasury-based liquidity funds on Ethereum, while Ripple, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance have also moved into tokenized Treasury initiatives.
