Franklin Templeton Deploys Benji Tokenization Platform on BNB Chain

The move aims to reach more investors by using low‑fee, fast‑settlement infrastructure while keeping security and compliance central to on‑chain fund operations.

Overview

  • Franklin Templeton confirmed its Benji Technology Platform is now live on BNB Chain, extending access to regulated, tokenized investment products.
  • Benji powers the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund, with roughly $730–$732 million represented by BENJI tokens across multiple blockchains.
  • The platform enables mutual fund shares to operate onchain with features such as peer‑to‑peer transfers, daily subscriptions, and real‑time NAV, with 938 holders reported across eight networks.
  • Roger Bayston, head of digital assets, said the expansion is designed to meet investors where they are active while maintaining a focus on security and compliance.
  • Franklin Templeton and Binance said they are developing additional digital‑asset products with details expected later this year, as RWA trackers show differing BNB Chain totals of about $448 million to over $542 million.
