Gate News message, April 24 — Morgan Stanley’s investment management division has launched the Stablecoin Reserves Portfolio, a new offering designed specifically for stablecoin issuers to deposit reserve assets into the firm’s money market funds while earning interest. The fund, part of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds trust (ticker: MSNXX), maintains a stable net asset value of $1 per share and is structured to align with the GENIUS Act, the U.S. stablecoin regulatory framework enacted in July.
The fund preserves capital and provides daily liquidity for stablecoin issuers who require secure, liquid reserve assets to back tokens pegged to fiat currencies. The portfolio invests in cash, short-term U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of 93 days or less, and overnight repurchase agreements backed by Treasury assets. While designed for stablecoin issuers, the offering is also open to other investors, though participation requires a minimum investment of $10 million and includes a 0.15% management fee.
Morgan Stanley has been expanding aggressively into crypto-related services in recent months. Earlier in April, the bank introduced the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust, which saw $30+ million in inflows on its launch day. The firm has also submitted filings with U.S. regulators to list exchange-traded funds tied to Ethereum and staked Solana, and applied for a national trust banking charter in February, which if approved would enable it to provide crypto custody services. Amy Oldenburg, head of digital asset strategy at Morgan Stanley, described the initiative as a step toward modernizing financial infrastructure, reflecting how major institutions increasingly view blockchain technology and tokenized finance as part of the future of global payments and asset management.

Sui DeFi lending protocol Scallop is hacked, with a vulnerability in the old contract leading to 150k SUI stolen
Scallop was attacked on the Sui chain, and the side contract involved led to the sSUI rewards pool being exploited. Approximately 150k SUI were stolen. The core contract is secure, and deposits and withdrawals have been restored. The official statement applies only to the deprecated rewards contract; users’ funds were not affected. Former NEAR developer Vadim said the vulnerability originated from an outdated V2 package from 17 months ago, where not initializing last_index caused rewards to accumulate starting in 2023. The fix requires adding a version field to the shared object and strengthening version checks to prevent risks caused by outdated packages.
