OFR on Resilience of Repo Market
The U.S. Treasury's Office of Financial Research (OFR) asks, "How Resilient is the U.S. Repo Market to Cyber-Induced Outages?" in a new blog post and paper. The summary says, "Risks to the financial system from cyber-induced operational disruptions have become increasingly salient. The U.S. repurchase agreement (repo) market serves as a critical medium for liquidity provision and monetary policy. Yet, while no known operational disruptions have previously impacted this market, sudden spikes in rates due to perceived liquidity shortfalls have underscored the market's vulnerability, as seen on September 17, 2019, when repo rates surged from approximately 2% to nearly 10%. This rate spike disrupted short-term funding markets and prompted immediate intervention by the Federal Reserve to prevent stress from spreading throughout the broader financial system." It explains, "The repo market enables financing by using U.S. Treasuries and other high-quality securities as collateral to facilitate over $13.5 trillion in outstanding agreements daily. These transactions connect a wide array of institutions like dealers, banks, hedge funds, and money market funds through time-sensitive cash and collateral exchanges. Because of these interconnections, proper repo market functioning is an essential part of the broader financial infrastructure." The OFR blog continues, "In their working paper, Short-Circuiting Short-Term Funding, authors R. Jay Kahn, Senior Economist at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; Neth Karunamuni, former OFR analyst; and Mark Paddrik, Acting Deputy Director of OFR's Research and Analysis Center; construct an empirical approach to assess systemic vulnerabilities within the repo market related to firm-level cybersecurity posturing. Their findings quantify how these vulnerabilities can generate funding shortfalls, alter trading patterns, and affect pricing of secured funding." The piece adds, "The authors combine tri-party repo market transaction data with cybersecurity ratings from BitSight Technologies, a provider of externally observed cybersecurity performance data. Through a series of simulations, they evaluate the consequences of cyber-induced operational outages across markets. Their results indicate that disruptions at certain institutions can affect over $100 billion in funding ... and raise repo rates by over 50 basis points. Among those with a potential direct impact, they find that disruptions among asset managers pose the most significant impact to market liquidity."
Crane 100 Index Unchanged at 3.50%
Money fund yields (7-day, annualized, simple, net) were unchanged at 3.50% on average during the week ended Friday, February 6 (as measured by our Crane 100 Money Fund Index), after decreasing 1 basis point two weeks prior. Fund yields haven't been below 3.5% since November 2022, and they are down from a recent high of 5.20% in November 2023. They should remain flat in coming days (and weeks) since the Fed left short-term rates unchanged two weeks ago. Yields were 3.58% on 12/31/25, 3.78% on 11/30, 3.90% on 10/31, 3.94% on 9/30, 4.11% on 8/31, 4.12% on 7/31, 4.13% on 6/30, 4.14% on 3/31/25 and 4.28% on average on 12/31/24. MMFs averaged 4.75% on 9/30/24, 5.10% on 6/28/24, 5.14% on 3/31/24 and 5.20% on 12/31/23. The broader Crane Money Fund Average, which includes all taxable funds tracked by Crane Data (currently 681), shows a 7-day yield of 3.40%, unchanged in the week through Friday. Prime Inst money fund yields were down 1 bp at 3.61% in the latest week. Government Inst MFs were down 1 bp at 3.50%. Treasury Inst MFs were down 1 bp at 3.44%. Treasury Retail MFs currently yield 3.22%, Government Retail MFs yield 3.21% and Prime Retail MFs yield 3.41%, Tax-exempt MF 7-day yields were up 26 bps to 1.99%. Money market mutual fund assets have fallen since hitting a record high of $8.188 trillion on February 4, according to our Money Fund Intelligence Daily. Assets have risen $31.7 billion in the week through Friday, and they've increased by $31.7 billion in February month-to-date (through 2/6). MMF assets increased by $32.9 billion in January, $126.3 billion in December, $132.8 billion in November, $142.1 billion in October, $105.2 billion in September and $132.0 billion in August. They rose by $63.7 billion in July, $6.7 billion in June and $100.9 billion in May. But MMFs decreased $24.4 billion in April. Assets increased by $2.8 billion in March, and $94.2 billion last February. Weighted average maturities were at 39 days for the Crane MFA and 41 days the Crane 100 Money Fund Index. According to Monday's Money Fund Intelligence Daily, with data as of Friday (2/6), just 158 money funds (out of 791 total) yield under 3.0% with $191.2 billion in assets, or 2.3%, while the vast majority (633) of funds yield between 3.00% and 3.99% ($7.982 trillion, or 97.7%). No funds yield over 4.0%. Our Brokerage Sweep Intelligence Index, an average of FDIC-insured cash options from major brokerages, was unchanged at 0.30%, after falling 1 basis point seven weeks prior. The latest Brokerage Sweep Intelligence, with data as of January 30, shows no changes over the past week.

Ledger Insights on Stablecoin Yield
Ledger Insights asks about, "Stablecoin yield: Who really wins?" They write, "Most of the arguments about whether third parties should be allowed to offer stablecoin yield/rewards have been about the impact on bank deposits and the perspective that banks currently deprive consumers of yield. The democratizing yield argument doesn't really stand up to scrutiny. Onchain yield is available today via tokenized money market funds (MMFs). In six months time when tokenized assets are more widely available, consumers will be spoilt for choice, including access to tokenized MMF ETFs. At some point pure tokenized Treasuries could be available." The piece says, "There are numerous other perspectives on the yield argument, including how it will impact money market funds, whether yields will lead to stablecoin transaction costs, and how it fits in with the US administration's goals to influence monetary policy. Even more importantly: what about the consumer? The core issue is that yield sharing accelerates convergence between stablecoins, tokenized money market funds, and deposits, but this convergence may undermine rather than enhance stablecoin utility. The following analysis demonstrates there are potentially more losers than winners." The article adds, "From a consumer perspective, what's the benefit of stablecoin yield over a tokenized MMF? Stablecoins and tokenized MMFs already overlap economically. Both are backed by short term Treasuries. With yield, that similarity becomes visible to users. The main difference is access: tokenized MMFs require KYC for each holder, while stablecoins only require it at exchange on-ramps. But users already provide KYC to crypto exchanges, and as onchain identity infrastructure develops, even this minimal friction disappears. What consumers gain from stablecoin yield is marginal convenience. What they potentially lose is zero cost stablecoin transfers if yield sharing eventually forces stablecoin issuers to charge for transfers. This makes the yield discussion less about consumer benefits than competitive positioning among intermediaries."
ICI: MMF Assets Jump to $7.8 Trillion
The Investment Company Institute's latest weekly "Money Market Fund Assets" report shows money fund assets jumping by $85.0 billion to a near-record $7.797 trillion, after increasing by $13.0 billion the previous week. Four weeks prior assets were a record $7.804 trillion. Assets have risen in 16 of the last 20 weeks and 24 of the past 29 weeks. MMF assets are up by $879 billion, or 12.8%, over the past 52 weeks (through 2/4/26), with Institutional MMFs up $584 billion, or 14.2% and Retail MMFs up $295 billion, or 10.7%. Year-to-date in 2026, MMF assets are up by $63 billion, or 0.8%, with Institutional MMFs up $64 billion, or 1.4% and Retail MMFs down $1 billion, or -0.0%. ICI's weekly release says, "Total money market fund assets increased by $85.02 billion to $7.80 trillion for the week ended Wednesday, February 4, the Investment Company Institute reported.... Among taxable money market funds, government funds increased by increased by $81.05 billion and prime funds increased by $3.55 billion. Tax-exempt money market funds increased by $412 million." ICI's stats show Institutional MMFs increasing $73.5 billion and Retail MMFs decreasing $11.5 billion in the latest week. Total Government MMF assets, including Treasury funds, were $6.414 trillion (82.2% of all money funds), while Total Prime MMFs were $1.243 trillion (15.9%). Tax Exempt MMFs totaled $142.7 billion (1.8%). It explains, "Assets of retail money market funds increased by $11.48 billion to $3.08 trillion. Among retail funds, government money market fund assets increased by $10.44 billion to $1.95 trillion, prime money market fund assets increased by $957 million to $1.00 trillion, and tax-exempt fund assets increased by $79 million to $129.13 billion." Retail assets account for 39.5% of the total, and Government Retail assets make up 63.3% of all Retail MMFs. They add, "Assets of institutional money market funds increased by $73.54 billion to $4.72 trillion. Among institutional funds, government money market fund assets increased by $70.61 billion to $4.46 trillion, prime money market fund assets increased by $2.59 billion to $242.70 billion, and tax-exempt fund assets increased by $333 million to $13.53 billion." Institutional assets accounted for 60.5% of all MMF assets, with Government Institutional assets making up 94.6% of all institutional MMF totals. According to Crane Data's separate Money Fund Intelligence Daily series, money fund assets have increased by $46.6 billion to a record high $8.188 trillion month-to-date in February (as of 2/4); the previous record high was $8.165 trillion on 1/6.

They rose $63.7 billion in July, $6.7 billion in June and $100.9 billion in May. MMFs fell by $24.4 billion in April, but rose $2.8 trillion in March and $94.2 billion last February. Note that ICI's asset totals don't include a number of funds tracked by the SEC and Crane Data, so they're almost $400 billion lower than Crane's asset series.

Penn Mutual AM Says Cash Still King
Penn Mutual Asset Management posted an insight titled, "Cash is Still King: Money Market Funds Hold Firm Near All-Time Highs." It states, "U.S. money market funds have experienced substantial growth in assets under management over recent decades, driven by shifting interest rate environments, economic disruptions, regulatory reforms and sustained investor demand for safe, liquid cash alternatives. Total balances remain exceptionally elevated—recently reaching approximately $7.8 trillion -- despite the Federal Reserve's (Fed) most recent easing cycle in late 2025." The blog continues, "Since its peak above 5%, the Fed has reduced the target federal funds rate to a range of 3.50%-3.75%, a move that directly lowers yields on money market funds. At first glance, this persistence of elevated cash balances may seem counterintuitive, as declining rates have historically encouraged investors to rotate out of cash and into higher-returning assets such as equities or longer-duration fixed income. However, current conditions help explain why money market funds continue to attract significant capital." Penn Mutual states, "Even with rates trending downward, money market funds continue to offer attractive yields relative to traditional bank deposits, often outpacing insured savings accounts by a meaningful margin. On a historical basis, yields remain appealing, and both institutional and retail investors maintain money market allocations to meet liquidity needs, satisfy short-term operating requirements or utilize as a temporary parking place for capital. Because these funds invest primarily in short-dated instruments such as Treasury bills, agency discount notes and high-quality commercial paper, their yields reset gradually, providing a smoother descent compared to more volatile market instruments." They continue, "As a result, the combination of still-competitive yields in money markets, principal stability, daily liquidity and limited confidence in the broader economic outlook has kept balances near record highs rather than prompting a meaningful rotation into risk assets. An elevated money market fund balance may reflect continued investor caution amid slowing growth, uncertain inflation dynamics and relatively full valuations across other asset classes.... Until ... alternative asset classes offer meaningfully better risk-adjusted returns, or the economic outlook becomes clearer, money market funds are likely to remain a central destination for investor capital."
Raymond James Q4'25 Earnings
Raymond James Financial (RJF) reported Q4'25 earnings earlier this week, and the company briefly mentioned brokerage sweep accounts and money markets a few times on its latest earnings call. CFO Butch Oorlog, comments, "Clients' domestic cash sweep and enhanced savings program balances ended the quarter at $58.1 billion, up 3% over the preceding quarter and representing 3.7% of domestic PCG client assets. Based on January activity to date, domestic cash sweep and enhanced savings program balances have declined as a result of the collection of record quarterly fee billings of $1.8 billion, and with further declines due to client reinvestment activity.... Combined net interest income and RJBDP fees from third-party banks grew 2% over the prior quarter to $667 million. Net interest margin in the bank segment increased 10 basis points to 2.81% for the quarter, driven by the factors I previously mentioned." CEO Paul Shoukry, says in respond to a question, "In terms of where we stand currently in January, our total combined program sweep and ESP balances are down $2.6 billion, which includes the $1.8 billion fee billing which have already come out of the account, as we indicated. And what we're seeing for that difference is strong client reinvestment of their balances for the rest of it. The breakdown between sweep program and ESP balances of that $2.6 is we've seen $2.1 billion of that in the sweep program and about $500 million of that in the ESP program since the quarter end balance." He adds, "`So, yeah, we're continuing to see, like others that have reported, a shift of the mix, of bigger percentage declines in the enhanced savings program balances. As rates come down, ... those high-yield savings rates are less appealing, especially relative to, the market. So we're seeing more investment in the market versus higher yielding alternatives, at least over the last couple of quarters, as rates started really coming down, which lowers the weighted average mix or the weighted average cost of deposit between sweeps and enhanced savings programs.... That's the flip side of the lower rates, that the floating rate loans become more attractive, and you saw that this past quarter as well. We'll fund it with the diversified funding sources that we have, both the sweep cash, we have third-party cash, that we could redeploy, but also we have diversified deposit gathering apparatus, particularly at Tri-State Capital Bank. And so we'll look at all of those levers to fund future growth going forward."
Fed Says Rates Unchanged at 3.5-3.75%
The release, "Federal Reserve Issues FOMC Statement," tells us, "Available indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace. Job gains have remained low, and the unemployment rate has shown some signs of stabilization. Inflation remains somewhat elevated. The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate." It continues, "In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3‑1/2 to 3‑3/4 percent. In considering the extent and timing of additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective." The FOMC adds, "In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments. Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Michael S. Barr; Michelle W. Bowman; Lisa D. Cook; Beth M. Hammack; Philip N. Jefferson; Neel Kashkari; Lorie K. Logan; and Anna Paulson. Voting against this action were Stephen I. Miran and Christopher J. Waller, who preferred to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point at this meeting."
