With the extension, Franklin Templeton FOBXX is supported on seven blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Polygon, Aptos, Base, and Stellar.

The move underlines Franklin Templeton’s commitment to leveraging blockchain technology for financial products. Asset manager Franklin Templeton added several new blockchain platforms for FOBXX this year, including recent integrations with Coinbase’s Base, Aptos, and Avalanche. The Stellar network remains its main public blockchain, on which it tracks the transactions and ownership of the fund.

First launched in 2021, FOBXX was the first cash market fund to leverage a public blockchain for these purposes, and has since grown to a position of $410 million in market cap ranking third-largest among tokenized money market funds.
