JPMorgan Asset Management has submitted a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch JLTXX, its second tokenized money market fund on the Ethereum network. The application comes roughly five months after the bank debuted its first tokenized fund, the Onchain Net Yield Fund (MONY), in December 2025, signaling that JPMorgan views Ethereum-based tokenization as a core institutional product rather than a mere experiment.
Kinexys Powers the Onchain Infrastructure
The new fund will be operated by Kinexys Digital Assets, JPMorgan’s in-house blockchain unit. JLTXX introduces “Token Class Shares,” which enable investors to hold and transfer fund shares onchain while parallel traditional book-entry ownership records are maintained. This dual-track design satisfies institutional compliance requirements while leveraging blockchain’s transparency and liquidity advantages.
Under the hood, the fund invests 100% in short-term U.S. Treasury securities and fully collateralized overnight repurchase agreements—the same conservative assets that underpin conventional money market funds. Critically, JLTXX has been designed to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act and is also structured to meet potential reserve requirements under the GENIUS Act (the stablecoin framework signed into law in July 2025), positioning the fund as a viable reserve asset for future compliant stablecoins.
The Institutional Race Heats Up
JPMorgan is not alone. BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, also launched on Ethereum in 2024, has crossed $2.8 billion in assets under management as of early 2026, making it the largest tokenized fund by AUM. Franklin Templeton’s FOBXX operates across Stellar and Polygon, while Ondo Finance’s OUSG offers tokenized T-bills to retail-eligible investors. These products underscore Wall Street’s shift from tentative exploration to full-scale embrace of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
The timing of JPMorgan’s filing aligns with regulatory momentum on Capitol Hill. The Senate Banking Committee is expected to hold a markup of the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act in the coming days, with a floor vote targeted for June or July. As institutional tokenization and U.S. crypto law inch toward alignment, funds like JLTXX are increasingly designed with regulatory compliance as a feature, not an afterthought.
JLTXX still requires SEC approval before investors can access it. The fund will initially target institutional buyers, consistent with how MONY was rolled out, and will likely remain out of reach for retail investors. Nonetheless, the filing represents one of the clearest signals yet that JPMorgan sees tokenized RWAs as a durable business line. For a bank that publicly dismissed Bitcoin as a fraud in 2017, the pace of blockchain-product launches in 2025 and 2026 marks a remarkable institutional course correction.
