BNY Launches New Stablecoin Reserve Fund for GENIUS Act Compliance
The post BNY Launches New Stablecoin Reserve Fund for GENIUS Act Compliance appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The shift toward regulated digital liquidity is gaining speed, and BNY is positioning itself at the center of this transformation. Institutions are increasingly seeking safer, government-backed ways to support stablecoins and tokenized assets, especially as financial markets move toward 24/7 settlement and always-on infrastructure. BNY’s latest launch underscores just how rapidly this transition is unfolding.
Crypto analyst WrathofKahneman notes that the GENIUS Act has officially placed stablecoin reserves under regulated banking oversight, requiring issuers to adopt compliant, tightly supervised structures.
He adds that BNY’s new reserve fund is one of the first products built specifically for stablecoin issuers, signaling rising institutional confidence in the sector. He also points out that Ripple’s RLUSD was already using BNY for issuance before this fund even existed, showing how established players prepared early for this regulatory shift.
BNY Dreyfus Stablecoin Reserves Fund Launch | GENIUS Act Compliance
On Nov. 13, BNY launched the BNY Dreyfus Stablecoin Reserves Fund, a government money market vehicle designed to help U.S. stablecoin issuers comply with the GENIUS Act. Passed in July 2025, the Act introduces new federal reserve requirements for payment stablecoins, with government money market funds soon qualifying as compliant reserve assets.

Stephanie Pierce, Deputy Head of BNY Investments, emphasized that stablecoins are driving a significant transition toward global, around-the-clock markets. Cash, she said, remains the backbone of the digital-asset ecosystem, and regulated reserve tools like this fund are critical for maintaining trust in the system.
The fund is restricted to institutions acting as fiduciaries, advisors, agents, custodians, or brokers. It does not hold stablecoins directly; instead, it provides a regulated, government-backed pool where stablecoin issuers can safely store reserves.
Anchorage Digital Joins First, Institutional Stablecoin Liquidity
Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., supplied the fund’s initial allocation. CEO Nathan McCauley described the launch as a “new chapter” for U.S. stablecoin infrastructure. He noted that the combination of BNY’s liquidity expertise and the GENIUS Act creates a clearer and more trusted environment—something institutions have long been waiting for.
BNY’s existing role in digital assets is already substantial. The firm supports numerous major digital-asset ETFs across the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and it oversees custody and administration for more than half of tokenized fund assets worldwide. The new reserve fund further strengthens its position as a key bridge between traditional finance and the growing world of tokenized markets.
