Federated Hermes Targets Stablecoin Reserves with New Treasury Fund
As stablecoin issuers scramble to meet strict federal reserve requirements under the GENIUS Act, Federated Hermes has introduced a dedicated money market fund, ticker OFFXX, designed to hold high-quality liquid assets while providing the principal stability necessary for 1:1 backing in the digital asset sector.
Susan Hill and John Wyda have been tapped to manage the portfolio, drawing on the firm’s $684.7 billion in existing money market assets as of March 2026. This launch arrives as FinCEN and OFAC finalize rules that force issuers to adopt institutional-grade anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance. Paul A. Uhlman, president of the Federated Advisory Companies, described the move as a strategic expansion of their liquidity management expertise into the growing market for tokenized and reserve-focused financial products.
