Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and user base, has joined forces with global investment powerhouse Franklin Templeton, which manages $1.6 trillion in assets, to develop innovative digital asset solutions for a wide spectrum of investors.
The collaboration aims to merge Franklin Templeton’s expertise in compliant security tokenization with Binance’s extensive global trading infrastructure. Together, the firms plan to create solutions that enhance capital market efficiency, transparency, and accessibility, while also offering competitive yields and faster settlement.
Sandy Kaul, EVP and Head of Innovation at Franklin Templeton, stated,
“Blockchain technologies are moving from the periphery to mainstream finance. Collaborations like ours are critical to accelerating adoption. By leveraging tokenization, we can expand institutional-grade solutions such as our Benji Technology Platform to a broader investor base and bridge traditional and decentralized finance.”
Roger Bayston, EVP and Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, added,
“Investors are increasingly interested in digital assets, but solutions need to be reliable and accessible. Through this partnership, we aim to translate tokenization from concept into practical investment products, streamlining settlement, collateral management, and portfolio construction at scale.”
Catherine Chen, Head of VIP & Institutional at Binance, emphasized,
“Binance has a strong track record of launching first-in-crypto solutions that open new opportunities for investors. Partnering with Franklin Templeton allows us to bridge crypto with traditional markets and deliver next-generation investment products.”
This strategic partnership highlights the growing convergence between traditional finance and digital assets, signaling a new era of blockchain-enabled investment solutions.
