Secondary liquidity — separating the myth from the mechanism

A transferable token can improve the mechanics of a sale, but secondary liquidity still depends on willing buyers, credible information and a price that clears.

Markets · Tokenisation · 14 Sept 2026

Tokenised money market funds and the collateral question

A digital fund interest may travel more easily, but its usefulness as collateral depends on legal control, liquidity and the receiver's willingness to accept it.

Tokenised money market funds sit at the intersection of two ambitions: making investment records easier to move and making financial resources easier to deploy. The combination invites a tempting shorthand. If an interest in a cash-management fund can move digitally, perhaps it can behave like cash throughout a transaction. That conclusion moves too quickly. A fund interest is a claim governed by fund documents, with an underlying portfolio and an operational process for subscription and redemption.

The distinction matters even when the portfolio contains relatively short-dated instruments. Investors remain exposed to the fund's structure, assets, liquidity arrangements and service providers. A digital wrapper does not convert an investment into a bank deposit or central bank money. Nor should a tokenised fund interest automatically be treated as equivalent to a stablecoin. Each instrument requires its own analysis of the holder's rights, the source of value and the route back to spendable money.
