Invesco, a $2.5 trillion asset manager, filed regulatory documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24, 2026 to launch the Invesco Stablecoin Reserves Onchain Fund, a tokenized product designed for stablecoin issuers managing reserve requirements. The fund addresses a structural need in the digital dollar ecosystem: stablecoin issuers are legally required to hold qualified assets as backing reserves, and Invesco's vehicle provides a compliant solution by investing in cash instruments, short-term U.S. Treasury securities, and repurchase agreements while maintaining a constant $1 net asset value. The move positions Invesco in one of the fastest-growing sectors of financial infrastructure, where the stablecoin market currently stands at approximately $300 billion and multiple Wall Street competitors—including BlackRock, State Street, Morgan Stanley, BNY, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs—have launched or filed for comparable reserve management products in recent months.
Invesco Files SEC Registration for Stablecoin Reserve Fund Structure
The proposed vehicle—formally named the Invesco Stablecoin Reserves Onchain Fund—is designed specifically for stablecoin issuers. These are the companies that create digital tokens pegged to the U.S. dollar, and they're legally required to hold qualified assets as backing reserves. The fund will allocate capital into cash instruments, short-duration U.S. Treasury securities, and repurchase agreements, maintaining a stable $1 net asset value. The structure mirrors the kind of safe, liquid portfolio that stablecoin issuers need to stay compliant while still generating yield on idle reserves. Invesco plans to fold the new fund into its Short-Term Investments Trust, a pre-existing Delaware statutory trust that already houses similar money market vehicles. The fund does not yet have a ticker, and Invesco declined to comment on the registration process, citing standard policy. The filing's anticipated effective date falls roughly 60 days after submission.
Fund Complies with GENIUS Act and Rule 2a-7 Frameworks
The fund is built around two regulatory pillars. First, it is structured to comply with the GENIUS Act, the federal legislation that established reserve requirements for payment stablecoin issuers. The law mandates that issuers hold only qualified assets—exactly what this fund would provide. Second, the vehicle is classified as a government money market fund under Rule 2a-7, the same regulatory framework that governs traditional money market funds and provides the stability guarantees institutional clients demand. This dual compliance architecture signals that Invesco is positioning the fund not as an experimental crypto product, but as a regulated financial instrument with a clear legal home—something stablecoin issuers can actually use without legal ambiguity. State Street adopted the same framework for its own stablecoin reserve product launched just last week, confirming that Rule 2a-7 is becoming the industry standard for this category.
Superstate Provides Blockchain Infrastructure and Tokenization Services
Superstate, the blockchain infrastructure specialist, will serve as sub-transfer agent. Its responsibilities go beyond administrative record-keeping: Superstate will tokenize fund shares and maintain a blockchain-integrated shareholder registry that combines traditional records with on-chain tokens representing ownership. This is not a new relationship. In March 2026, Invesco took over daily portfolio management of Superstate's tokenized U.S. Treasury fund—trading under the USTB ticker—making Invesco the first third-party asset manager to operate on Superstate's FundOS blockchain platform. That fund had approximately $700 million to $900 million in assets at the time, establishing meaningful operational trust between the two firms before this new product was even filed. The SEC filing confirms the fund will operate on a public blockchain, but stops short of naming the specific network. Superstate has previously tokenized assets on both Ethereum and Solana. The filing acknowledges Ethereum-related risks but does not reference Solana explicitly. The on-chain share structure allows stablecoin issuers to hold, transfer, and verify reserve assets with the speed and transparency that blockchain rails enable—something traditional money market funds simply cannot offer at the same level.
Wall Street Firms Compete for $300 Billion Stablecoin Reserve Market
The stablecoin market currently sits at approximately $300 billion, and Citigroup projects it could reach $4 trillion by 2030—a more than thirteenfold expansion that would make stablecoin reserve management one of the most lucrative new lines in asset management. Wall Street has taken notice. BlackRock, State Street, Morgan Stanley, BNY, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs have each launched or filed for comparable products in recent months. ProShares also entered the space. Invesco's filing now places it alongside BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity as traditional asset managers building serious tokenized money market infrastructure. Asset managers that lock in stablecoin issuers as reserve clients today are positioning for a durable, fee-generating relationship that grows automatically as stablecoin issuance scales. For Invesco specifically, the Superstate partnership gives it a technical edge that pure financial players lack. Most major banks entering this space are building or acquiring blockchain infrastructure from scratch. Invesco already has a working relationship, a live tokenized fund, and a credentialed sub-transfer agent.
