Abstract

JPMorgan is launching a tokenized money market fund called the My OnChain Net Yield Fund (MONY) on the Ethereum blockchain. The bank is providing $100 million of its own capital to the fund, which will open to investors on Tuesday, December 16th. Built on JPMorgan's own tokenization platform, Kinexys, the fund will be available to qualified investors and institutions with minimum investments of $5 million and $25 million, respectively. Investors can contribute funds in US dollars or the USDC stablecoin and will get fund tokens delivered to their crypto wallets. Like traditional money market funds, MONY will hold low-risk, short-term securities, pay daily interest, and accrue dividends. JPMorgan cited significant client interest in tokenizing traditional financial instruments. The bank sees tokenized funds as appealing to crypto investors because they offer yield while keeping assets on the blockchain; such tokens can also be used as collateral on crypto exchanges. This launch occurs as the total assets in money market funds have grown to $7.7 trillion. The largest such fund remains BlackRock's BUIDL, which launched in early 2024 and has a total value locked (TVL) exceeding $2 billion.

JPMorgan Bank is launching a tokenized money market fund on the Ethereum blockchain called the My OnChain Net Yield Fund (MONY), reports The Wall Street Journal. According to the publication, JPMorgan will provide $100 million of its own capital to the fund and open access to it on Tuesday, December 16th.

The fund is supported by the bank's own tokenization platform, Kinexys. It will be open to qualified investors or individuals with a minimum investment of $5 million, as well as institutions with a minimum investment of $25 million.

The minimum investment in the fund is $1 million. Investors will be able to contribute funds in dollars or in the USDC stablecoin and receive the fund's tokens in a crypto wallet.

Like most money market funds, MONY consists of low-risk short-term securities. It pays interest daily and accrues dividends. The bank noted the growing demand for digital versions of traditional instruments.

"Clients are showing tremendous interest in tokenization. And we expect to become a leader in this area and work with clients to ensure that we have a product line that will allow them to have the same choice on the blockchain as in traditional money market funds," said John Donohue, head of global liquidity at JPMorgan Asset Management.

It is noted that tokenized money market funds are of interest to crypto investors because, unlike stablecoins, they allow holders to earn yield while keeping assets on the blockchain. Also, some tokens of such funds are accepted as collateral on crypto exchanges.

The total assets of money market funds have grown to $7.7 trillion. The largest fund remains BUIDL from BlackRock, launched in the spring of 2024. According to DeFillama, the total value locked (TVL) in BUIDL has exceeded $2 billion, and the tokens are already represented on six blockchains.

Coldcard Hardware Wallet Hacked: 594 Bitcoin Withdrawn in 25 Minutes

The Coldcard hardware wallet has been compromised, with hackers stealing approximately 594.5 Bitcoin (~$40 million) from 500 addresses in just 25 minutes. The root cause was a critical software bug, undetected for five years, which disabled the device's secure chip for generating true random numbers. This led to the creation of private keys based on predictable data like the processor's serial number, drastically reducing cryptographic security. The attackers exploited this offline by brute-forcing possible seed phrases, finding active addresses on the public ledger, and signing transactions. Initially, Coinkite (Coldcard's maker) claimed only older models were at risk but later admitted all devices running the compromised firmware were vulnerable. CEO Rodolphe Novak (NVK) apologized but ruled out financial compensation for affected users. To secure funds, owners must urgently update their firmware to specific safe versions, generate a completely new seed phrase on the updated device, and transfer all assets to new addresses created with that new seed. While a BIP-39 passphrase can help, it does not replace this migration process. Other Coinkite products like TAPSIGNER were not affected. This incident underscores that even specialized hardware requires rigorous, independent code audits, especially for cryptographic functions. It parallels past failures, like a 2006 OpenSSL bug in Debian, and raises questions about whether automated code analysis can ever fully replace human scrutiny in critical security areas.
