Dramatic asset growth was again the biggest story of the year, as money market fund assets jumped by $850 billion to a record $8.07 trillion (through 12/11), after jumping by $800 billion last year and over $1.0 trillion the year before. In 2023, rising yields were the big news, but yields have moved lower in 2024 and 2025. Yields continue declining; they are now approaching 3.60%. So declining but still attractive yields were a big theme of 2025. Other major headlines of 2025 included: the growth of tokenized money market funds, stablecoin reserve funds and money fund ETFs. Below, we excerpt from a number of our biggest and most representative news stories of 2025 to highlight the major trends of the past year. (Note: For those attending our Money Fund University this week, welcome to Pittsburgh! Clients and friends are welcome to stop by Crane Data's Holiday Cocktail Party at MFU at the Pittsburgh Westin on Thursday, 12/18 from 5-7:30pm! Attendees and subscribers may access the conference materials via our "Money Fund University 2025 Download Center.")
