said Roger Bayston, head of digital assets at Franklin Templeton, in the press release

The Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund is a regulated fund that invests at least 99.5% of its assets in government securities, cash, and repurchase agreements fully collateralized by government securities or currency. Token holders can gain exposure to the Fund using one BENJI token on the Benji Investments app for mobile devices.

Franklin Templeton’s move to blockchain integration has resulted in operational efficiencies, and the company continues exploring blockchain technology’s potential. By leveraging the Ethereum ecosystem, investors can enjoy a stable $1.00 share price and high current income levels consistent with preserving shareholders’ capital and liquidity.

Polygon’s blockchain ecosystem spans many L2, sidechains, and sovereign blockchains, and its suite of Ethereum scalability solutions has seen significant adoption across DeFi, NFTs, and enterprises. The Polygon blockchain provides access to a $260 billion market, representing the approximate aggregate value of all ERC-20 (Ethereum-based) assets. Tokenized assets are set to disrupt the global financial system positively, and Franklin Templeton is at the forefront of this movement.
