We just did IQMM. It's our ProShares Genius Money Market ETF... designed for both regular institutions and individuals but very specifically to be used for reserve behind the stable coins. As stablecoins grow in adoption (currently a $250 billion market), the underlying reserves need compliant, yield-generating vehicles.
