Gate News message, April 24 — Morgan Stanley’s investment management division has launched the Stablecoin Reserves Portfolio, a new offering designed specifically for stablecoin issuers to deposit reserve assets into the firm’s money market funds while earning interest. The fund, part of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds trust (ticker: MSNXX), maintains a stable net asset value of $1 per share and is structured to align with the GENIUS Act, the U.S. stablecoin regulatory framework enacted in July.
The fund preserves capital and provides daily liquidity for stablecoin issuers who require secure, liquid reserve assets to back tokens pegged to fiat currencies. The portfolio invests in cash, short-term U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of 93 days or less, and overnight repurchase agreements backed by Treasury assets. While designed for stablecoin issuers, the offering is also open to other investors, though participation requires a minimum investment of $10 million and includes a 0.15% management fee.
Morgan Stanley has been expanding aggressively into crypto-related services in recent months. Earlier in April, the bank introduced the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust, which saw $30+ million in inflows on its launch day. The firm has also submitted filings with U.S. regulators to list exchange-traded funds tied to Ethereum and staked Solana, and applied for a national trust banking charter in February, which if approved would enable it to provide crypto custody services. Amy Oldenburg, head of digital asset strategy at Morgan Stanley, described the initiative as a step toward modernizing financial infrastructure, reflecting how major institutions increasingly view blockchain technology and tokenized finance as part of the future of global payments and asset management.
