Binance and Franklin Templeton Join Forces: A New Era for Institutional Trading
In a major move to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and the crypto world, Binance has announced a strategic partnership with global investment giant Franklin Templeton. This collaboration marks a significant step forward for institutional investors.
What is this partnership about?
According to Binance CEO Richard Teng, institutional clients can now use tokenized money market fund shares as "off-exchange collateral." These shares are issued through Franklin Templeton’s advanced Benji Technology Platform. Essentially, big traders can now use their traditional fund holdings to back their trades on Binance without having to move their assets directly onto the exchange.
Why Franklin Templeton?
Franklin Templeton is one of the world’s largest asset managers, known for its deep roots in traditional finance. By using their Benji Platform, they are leading the way in "tokenization"—which means turning real-world assets into digital tokens on a blockchain. This provides a secure and regulated way for big players to enter the crypto market.
The Key Benefits
Efficiency: Institutional clients can keep their capital working in low-risk funds while using it as collateral.
Safety: "Off-exchange collateral" reduces the risk of keeping all assets on a single platform.
Integration: It brings the stability of traditional banking into the high-speed world of crypto trading.
This partnership is a clear signal that the world’s biggest financial institutions are no longer just watching crypto—they are actively building the infrastructure for its future.
