Built for Stablecoin Reserves

ProShares launched the ProShares GENIUS Money Market ETF (IQMM), structured to comply with the reserve requirements under the GENIUS Act.

The law mandates that dollar-backed stablecoins maintain 1:1 backing using safe, highly liquid assets such as U.S. Treasury bills with maturities of 93 days or less.

IQMM invests exclusively in short-term Treasuries and cash equivalents that meet those standards.

The stablecoin market currently sits just under $300 billion in circulation, led by Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC.

Forecasts vary widely. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has projected the market could surpass $2 trillion by 2028, while some Wall Street analysts see a potential $4 trillion market by 2030.

IQMM positions itself as infrastructure for that expansion, giving issuers a regulated vehicle tailored to stablecoin reserve compliance.
