State Street Launches GENIUS Act-Aligned Money Market Fund for Stablecoin Reserves

State Street Investment Management debuted the State Street Stablecoin Reserves Money Market Fund (SSCXX) on June 16, marking the fourth major entry into the GENIUS Act-compliant reserve market. The fund, seeded with $121 million, invests exclusively in US government securities and repurchase agreements—asset classes explicitly approved under the 2025 stablecoin legislation.

"The GENIUS Act provides clarity," said State Street CEO Yie-Hsin Hung, emphasizing the firm's focus on principal preservation and liquidity. Anchorage Digital's Nathan McCauley framed the collaboration as merging "traditional cash management expertise with regulated crypto infrastructure."

The launch signals institutional momentum for stablecoin reserve solutions, with the fund's 3.51% yield positioning it competitively against treasury-backed alternatives. Regulatory alignment appears increasingly critical as stablecoins cement their role in payments infrastructure.
