PANews reported on November 27th that, according to Cryptopolitan, a recent report from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) indicates that total assets in tokenized money market funds have surged from $770 million at the end of 2023 to nearly $9 billion, becoming a key source of collateral in the crypto ecosystem. The institution warned that while such assets offer the "flexibility of stablecoins," they also bring substantial operational and liquidity risks.

The BIS identified liquidity mismatch as a major risk of tokenized money market funds. It noted that while investors can redeem their tokenized fund units daily, the underlying assets still adhere to the traditional T+1 settlement mechanism. During periods of market stress, concentrated redemption demand will expose this structural risk. The organization further pointed out that the market is still in its early stages, and solutions are constantly being refined, such as the Distributed Ledger Repurchase (DLR) system launched by fintech company Broadridge, which enables same-day settlement of tokenized government bond transfers.
