Franklin Templeton has tokenized a $380 million treasuries fund on the Polygon and Stellar blockchains to enable peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers without intermediaries.
The company has launched the Franklin OnChain United States Government Money Fund (FOBXX), offering shares as BENJI tokens. Each token represents a share of the FOBXX and is tradable on the public Polygon and Stellar blockchains.
This innovation aims to simplify transactions and expand access, allowing investors to manage their assets more flexibly through direct exchanges.
Franklin Templeton’s integration of blockchain technology into its financial operations aims to enhance the liquidity and efficiency of asset management. The firm is responding to a growing demand among financial institutions to meld traditional financial structures with modern technology solutions.
The tokenization of government securities and other assets marks a significant advancement in digital asset management, offering greater transparency, security, and efficiency.
