The move comes only days after BlackRock (BLK), the world’s largest asset manager, filed paperwork for a new tokenized Treasury reserve vehicle and blockchain-based shares of an existing $7 billion money-market fund.

Tokenization — the process of creating blockchain-based representations of traditional financial assets — has become one of the hottest trends across finance and crypto markets.

In December, the bank launched a tokenized money-market fund called MONY on Ethereum, giving institutional investors blockchain-based access to short-term cash products. Through Kinexys, the bank has also processed tokenized collateral and settlement transactions for institutional clients.
