#FranklinAdvancesTokenizedMMFs 🔹Franklin Templeton, one of the world's leading asset management companies, has taken a major step in tokenized money market funds (MMFs). 🔹The tokenized MMF shares (BENJI tokens) issued by the company through its Benji platform can now be used as off-exchange collateral for institutional investors on the Binance exchange. 🔹This program, announced on February 11, 2026, allows: 🔹Institutional investors to use tokenized MMF shares as collateral when trading on Bin***. 🔹Assets remain secure with regulated custody services like Ceffu without being transferred to the exchange (reducing counterparty risk). This allows for more efficient use of capital and enables investors to continue earning yield on their collateral. 🔹This development follows Franklin Templeton's Franklin OnChain U.S., which it has managed since 2021. The Government Money Fund (FOBXX) is expanding the use of BENJI, the tokenized version of its fund (approximately USD 900 million AUM). 🔹The fund invests in low-risk assets such as US government bonds and remains stable at a value of 1 BENJI = 1 fund share. ✨At a time when tokenized RWAs (real-world assets) are rapidly growing on the institutional side, this partnership is a significant step bridging the gap between traditional finance and crypto.
