This move competes with similar initiatives from firms like Franklin Templeton, which has launched blockchain-based money market funds, further enhancing liquidity in a DeFi sector that has seen its Total Value Locked (TVL) reach new heights this year according to industry reports.
Regarding the underlying assets, MU closed at $1032.28 and IVV at $749.1 (close July 1, 2026). Traders are currently watching the Chinese Manufacturing PMI due on June 30 as a catalyst for the semiconductor sector, alongside Fed Williams' speech on June 26, which could impact market sentiment toward risk-on digital and equity assets.
