Tokenised money market funds (tMMFs) represent the next evolution of cash investing, combining the stability and regulatory framework of traditional money market fund (MMF) with the efficiency of blockchain technology. In this structure, fund shares are issued as digital tokens that reflect ownership in the underlying portfolio while maintaining the same investment strategy, governance, and net asset value process.
The transfer agent’s shareholder register remains the golden source of truth, with the token acting as the digital representation of ownership on‑chain. By enabling 24/7 transfers between approved investors, enhanced asset mobility and greater operational efficiency, tokenised money market funds are helping to modernise market infrastructure and support the growing integration of traditional finance with digital ecosystems.
tMMFs are essentially traditional MMFs with their shares represented as digital tokens on a blockchain, maintaining the same portfolio, NAV process, and governance as the underlying fund.
Fund shares are represented as digital tokens held in investor wallets, helping streamline recordkeeping, transfers, and other operational processes while maintaining ownership of the same underlying fund.
Tokenisation can extend the functionality of traditional money market funds through features such as 24/7 transferability, programmable workflows, wallet-native access, and potential use in digital collateral and liquidity management solutions.
tMMFs can help modernise treasury operations by enabling institutions to keep liquidity invested until it is needed. Features such as 24/7 transferability, near real-time settlement and holding the tMMF directly in a digital wallet provide greater operational flexibility whilst preserving the core characteristics of a traditional money market fund.
Tokenised money market funds can serve as liquidity sleeves within digital asset ecosystems, enabling investors to keep capital invested until it is needed. By complementing on-chain cash, they can help investors move efficiently between liquidity and yield, reducing the traditional trade-off between accessibility and return.
Tokenised money market funds can be used as collateral across trading and financing activities, supporting more efficient capital deployment across traditional and digital markets while maintaining exposure to high-quality money market investments.

Investors would be expected to hold digital wallets with a regulated wallet provider or in a self-custodied wallet. |

Onboarding and eligibility |
AML/KYC checks performed by the Transfer Agent prior to account opening |
Wallet screening would be performed, in addition to AML/KYC checks, by the Transfer Agent prior to account opening. |
|
Subscriptions |
Initiated via traditional methods in line with fund cutoffs |
Initiated via traditional methods in line with fund cutoffs. Post-settlement, tokens would be minted to the investor’s wallet |
|
Redemptions |
Typically initiated via traditional methods (phone, SWIFT, FTP) in line with fund cut-offs |
Redemptions would be initiated on-chain only through a “transfer” of tokens to the fund redemption wallet address, in line with existing fund cut-offs. The tokenisation service provider would notify the Transfer Agent of a redemption request for the relevant shares |
|
Transaction Currency & Timing |
Transfer agent accepts transactions and sends redemption proceeds in the currency of the share class and will confirm orders during the fund’s open hours |
The Transfer Agent would continue to operate in the share class currency and within defined opening hours, with potential for expanded interoperability with digital cash instruments (e.g. stablecoins) in the future. |
|
Peer-to-Peer (“P2P”) transfers |
Transfers go through the Transfer Agent |
The transfer of tokens on-chain could take place 24/7 between two allow-listed investors and would result in a corresponding transfer of shares. |
|
Account access / privacy / security |
Access secured by username/password/MFA that the investor has with their Brokerage/Order placement system. Theft or unauthorized access risks rely on the traditional financial institution's security |
Investors (or their wallet providers) would be expected to manage private keys. Loss of private keys could result in loss of access to fund tokens until the Transfer Agent is able to remediate the situation. Transaction data visible on the blockchain would be pseudonymised, helping to protect shareholder identity, provided the Transfer Agent’s off-chain records remain secure |

Income accrual and distribution |
Investors that hold the share at the fund cut-off will be entitled to income |
Investors holding shares at the daily cut-off are entitled to income. As tokenised shares can be transferred on any day, including weekends, income entitlement may transfer between investors accordingly. Accruals are paid through dividend reinvestment or distribution in line with the fund's distribution approach |

Review trading and operating workflows to adjust for tokenised fund workflows and have the oversight needed in place
“Tokenised” means an on‑chain token mirrors a holding in the fund’s tokenised share class, while the transfer agent’s shareholder register remains the golden record. When an eligible investor subscribes a token is minted, when they move the token to a redemption address the token is burned and the shares are considered redeemed, and when the token is transferred, the official register is updated to match.
The key difference with these products is the use of tokenisation for issuing shares to investors. OnChain Shares are issued in the form of tokens that are minted onto a blockchain and transferred to an investor’s digital wallet, which enables new capabilities for investors.
While traditional money market fund shares are issued to investors in book-entry form onto a traditional transfer agency ledger, OnChain Shares introduce potential flexibility in how investors access and transfer liquidity along with faster settlement times.
Additionally, these products will offer benefits like 24/7/365 peer-to-peer transfers and on-chain record ownership which do not exist in our money market funds today.
Institutional investors seeking to bring cash management on-chain, including treasury teams, financial institutions and participants in digital asset ecosystems looking for a regulated money market fund that combines traditional MMF features with blockchain-enabled capabilities such as 24/7 transferability, operational efficiency and integration into digital workflows.
Investors’ wallet addresses, token balances, and transactions may be visible on-chain. Other PII is kept off-chain and wallet-to-client identity mapping is maintained through the transfer agent. Omnibus/nominee structures may further centralize on-chain visibility to a single wallet where appropriate.
The dealing cut-off time and valuation timing is consistent with traditional share classes by currency.
The transfer agent facilitates same-day settlement (T+0) for fiat subscription and redemption activity in line with BAU timelines and custody payment processing.
Peer-to-peer transfers of tokens between respective whitelisted wallets settle near real-time 24/7/365 on the relevant blockchain, subject to network conditions and confirmation times.
Investor ownership is safeguarded by the fact the transfer agent maintains the shareholder register as another record. If a tokenisation component is disrupted, the model is designed so investor servicing can continue based on the traditional TA register, with contingency for prolonged tokenisation/network outages treated as part of the operating resilience design.
Public blockchain networks require the payment of certain transaction fees to execute a transactionon the applicable network. These fees are typically paid in the native digital asset for the operation of the blockchain network (such as in the form of “ether,” the native digital asset for the operation of Ethereum). These transaction fees (sometimes called “gas fees”) are paid to execute a transaction.
For transactions relating to purchases of OnChain Shares and dividend distributions, transaction feeswill be the responsibility of BlackRock, and shareholders will not be required to purchase any native digital asset to transact on the applicable network. Redemption transactions or peer-to-peer transactions will require the shareholder to pay the gas fees.
