Copper Introduces New Initiatives for Tokenized Money-Market Funds

Copper, a company specializing in digital asset custody and collateral management, has announced initiatives aimed at advancing the adoption of Tokenized Money-Market Funds. This announcement reflects Copper’s strategy to expand its role in digital finance, supported by its secure custody technology and new industry partnerships.

Expanding Access to Tokenized Money-Market Funds

Tokenized Money-Market Funds represent digital versions of traditional money-market funds, offering investors access to liquid, interest-generating assets. Copper now allows clients to securely hold and trade these tokens using its institutional-grade custody system, based on multi-party computation (MPC) technology. These tokens can also be used as collateral in derivatives trades, a feature supported by regulatory approvals in the Abu Dhabi Global Market.

Collaborations with Industry Leaders

Copper’s initiative is supported by partnerships with Securitize, Franklin Templeton, Ondo, and Hashnote. Collectively, these organizations manage approximately $1.7 billion in tokenized assets. Copper aims to enhance the infrastructure supporting Tokenized Money-Market Funds, which now account for over $2 billion in assets across more than 30 products globally.

These partnerships align with broader trends in tokenization. Major asset managers like Fidelity International and UBC Asset Management have recently launched tokenized fund products, reflecting growing institutional interest in blockchain-based solutions.

Leadership and Strategic Vision

The announcement follows the appointment of Amar Kuchinad as Copper’s Global CEO. Kuchinad emphasized the importance of robust infrastructure in supporting the growth of tokenized financial products. He highlighted the role of Copper’s custody and trading systems, combined with partnerships, in advancing its objectives.

Copper’s focus on Tokenized Money-Market Funds is part of its broader strategy to expand its footprint in regulated financial markets and support the evolution of digital asset ecosystems.
