Asset management behemoth Franklin Templeton has partnered with VeChain, to deploy its BENJI platform on the layer-1 blockchain.<\/p>\n

According to a July 24 announcement<\/a>, the integration will allow businesses on VeChain to access Franklin Templeton\u2019s tokenized money market fund, offering an additional stablecoin-like payment and cash management tool.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BitGo will serve as the custody partner for this expansion, while Keyrock will provide derivatives trading services.<\/p>\n

What is Franklin Templeton\u2019s BENJI?<\/h2>\n

The BENJI platform enables tokenized access to Franklin Templeton\u2019s OnChain US Government Money Fund (FOBXX), which is currently valued at around $780 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each BENJI token represents a share in the fund, which seeks to maintain a stable $1 value by investing in government securities, cash, and repurchase agreements.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2021, the Franklin OnChain US Government Money Fund was among the first SEC-registered funds to use public blockchain infrastructure for recordkeeping.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through BENJI, the firm offers institutional and enterprise clients a blockchain-based solution for accessing short-term US government securities, while maintaining regulatory compliance and offering stable value.<\/p>\n

VeChain, a blockchain platform focused on real-world applications, will now host the BENJI platform as part of Franklin Templeton\u2019s multi-chain strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

VeChain\u2019s dual-token system and low-cost infrastructure are seen as suitable for money market operations. <\/p>\n

The move also gives VeChain-based enterprises a new tokenized liquidity option.<\/p>\n

The collaboration strengthens Franklin Templeton\u2019s distribution strategy and also gives VeChain a foothold in the tokenized asset space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With BitGo and Keyrock joining the initiative, the integration brings together custody, trading, and tokenized assets under one enterprise-focused framework.<\/p>\n

BENJI available across multiple blockchains<\/h2>\n

Before integrating with VeChain, Franklin Templeton had launched the BENJI platform on several other blockchains.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fund first gained traction through the Stellar network, which remains its largest base with over $430 million in assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BENJI has since expanded<\/a> to Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, Avalanche, and Aptos, making it one of the most widely deployed tokenized funds across chains.<\/p>\n

Across these networks, the BENJI platform has become one of the most widely held tokenized government money funds. <\/p>\n

According to data<\/a> from RWA.xyz, FOBXX currently has the highest number of individual holders among its peers, with 690 wallet addresses participating.<\/p>\n

Franklin Templeton has been increasingly active in the tokenization space<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The asset management company has positioned itself at the forefront of the real-world asset (RWA) sector by integrating regulated financial products into blockchain ecosystems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is also one of three asset managers selected by ArbitrumDAO to manage US Treasury exposure through tokenized offerings, alongside Spiko and WisdomTree.<\/p>\n

The BENJI fund was allocated 35% of ArbitrumDAO\u2019s 35 million ARB treasury diversification program under STEP 2, a strategic initiative to allocate idle capital into yield-generating assets.<\/p>\n

In terms of global expansion, the company got the regulatory nod to launch its first tokenized fund for retail investors in Singapore earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
