Franklin Templeton Tokenized Fund Expands to Avalanche

Launched in 2021, FOBXX was the first U.S. registered mutual fund to leverage a public blockchain for recording transactions and managing ownership. The fund initially used the Stellar network but frequently utilized Polygon. Avalanche is part of its effort to be more accessible.

The Franklin Templeton tokenized fund provides institutional investors with a blockchain-integrated record-keeping system through the Benji Investments, a proprietary platform of Franklin Templeton.

FOBXX has a current market capitalization of $420 million and focuses its investments on low-risk U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized in government securities or cash. Of course, the diversified ETF will gain the 24/7 trading flexibility and peer-to-peer transactions characteristic of blockchain technologies.

Franklin Templeton Expands Ties With Digital Assets

The move toward Avalanche builds on Franklin Templeton‘s existing investment in digital assets and follows in the firm’s footsteps after building its blockchain approach in 2018. Previously, the Franklin Templeton tokenized fund was even associated with traditional finance by expanding the coverage of the fund to Arbitrum. Users on the Arbitrum network can now purchase and hold tokenized shares in FOBXX to return risk-free funds.

In other news, Franklin Templeton filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16 to launch the new Franklin Crypto Index ETF. This ETF is designed to provide a comprehensive crypto portfolio and will follow the CF Institutional Digital Asset Index.
