Crypto exchange Coinbase Coinbase is aiming to become a major player in tokenized US Treasury markets, CoinDesk reports.

What’s the scoop?

  • New Fund: The asset management arm of publicly traded crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) plans to create a tokenized money market fund, attempting to emulate the success of tokenized products from legacy asset managers like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton.

Bankless Take:

While the tokenized asset sector already has plenty of money market offerings from more established firms, this latest offering stands out due to Coinbase’s massive distribution network; it has the potential to push an increased number of onchain participants out of non-productive stablecoins into yield-bearing US Treasury bills.
