- Benji Platform expands onto BNB Chain.
- Enhances tokenization utility and features globally.
Franklin Templeton has integrated its Benji Technology Platform with BNB Chain to enhance real-world asset tokenization. This integration offers faster settlements, daily yields, and transparent record-keeping for both retail and institutional clients globally.
This strategic move advances Franklin Templeton’s on-chain asset tokenization efforts, offering new liquidity channels and increased access for investors.
Franklin Templeton’s Benji Platform, already managing $732M in tokenized assets, now supports BNB Chain. This integration follows past blockchain initiatives on Stellar and Ethereum, pushing the boundaries of asset tokenization. Key components include increased utility and innovation in tokenized products.
Expansion and Impact
Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, emphasized meeting investor needs while advancing tokenization’s potential. Sandy Kaul, EVP, highlighted the significance of this alignment with Binance for broader institutional solutions. Expansion includes existing support for ETH, SOL, XLM chains.
“Our goal is to meet more investors where they’re active, while continuing to push the boundaries of what tokenization can deliver with security and compliance at the forefront. Together, Franklin Templeton and BNB Chain will work to deliver tokenized assets with greater utility and enhanced features for retail and institutional clients across the globe.” – Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets, Franklin Templeton
The integration with BNB Chain opens new liquidity channels, enhancing settlements, and ensuring transparent record-keeping for investors. As BNB supports the platform, expectations of increased TVL and liquidity flows are notable, with potential expansion into equities.
Franklin Templeton continues its compliance with U.S. registration standards, emphasizing the security and scope of this initiative. The evolving DeFi sector and BNB, SOL, ETH, and XLM ecosystems could witness increased activity, supported by proprietary blockchain-integrated systems.
Future Developments
While real-world asset tokenization grows, Franklin Templeton seeks to bridge traditional and decentralized finance. The integration could lead to substantial technological advancements and market effects across participating blockchains. BNB and related ecosystems are poised for further development.
