State Street shares rose after launching a GENIUS Act-aligned stablecoin reserve money market fund aimed at stablecoin issuers.
State Street Investment Management rolled out the State Street Stablecoin Reserves Money Market Fund (ticker SSCXX), a Rule 2a-7 government money market fund structured to comply with the GENIUS Act and designed for stablecoin issuers to hold reserves. Shares climbed about 1.65% on the news to around $170, near an all-time high of $170.54, and the stock is up roughly 76% over the past year. The launch positions State Street to capture custody and reserve-management fees as regulated stablecoin issuance grows. The move builds on a record Q1 in which State Street raised its 2026 fee revenue growth outlook to 7%-9% and NII growth to 8%-10%. The bear case is that the stock now trades above the average analyst 12-month target of about $161, implying limited upside, and stablecoin reserve flows remain unproven at scale.
