Tokenized Treasury total value locked (TVL) has reached $15.35 billion, surpassing the mid-April peak. This increase is attributed to stronger expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes, leading some investors to prefer yield-bearing tokenized Treasury bills over spot cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin remains stable above $80,000, indicating ongoing interest in digital assets despite changing capital preferences.

This growth reflects increasing institutional demand for on-chain traditional financial instruments, including government bonds, commodities, stocks, and private credit. While U.S. Treasury bonds lead the market, diversification is occurring as other asset categories gain market share, indicating broader acceptance of tokenized assets in finance.

BlackRock submitted a comment letter to the OCC opposing proposed reserve asset restrictions in the GENIUS Act draft rules. The firm urged the OCC to avoid a 20% cap on tokenized reserve assets, arguing it is unnecessary and could hinder growth. BlackRock also requested clarification on the eligibility of Treasury ETFs as reserves and supported a principles-based standard for reserve diversification. Additionally, it recommended including U.S. Treasury floating-rate notes in the eligible asset list and called for a transparent process for future asset considerations.

The GENIUS Act is expected to enhance the demand for US Treasury bonds and stabilize the dollar system by facilitating the growth of stablecoins, primarily from overseas. This could lead to a significant influx of foreign capital into the US banking system, while domestic deposits may also migrate to stablecoin reserves. The act aims to optimize financial infrastructure and regulate stablecoins, with implications for interest rate spreads and competition among currencies. While some banks may face challenges due to reduced interest margins, the overall impact is anticipated to benefit the US economy and consumers' access to dollar-denominated assets.
