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.
