Cryptocurrency exchange Binance and global investment management organisation Franklin Templeton have collaborated to build digital asset initiatives and solutions tailored for a range of investors.
The firms will combine Franklin Templeton’s expertise in compliant tokenisation of securities with Binance’s global trading infrastructure and investor reach.
Roger Bayston, executive vice president and head of digital assets at Franklin Templeton, says: “Investors are asking about digital assets to remain ahead of the curve, but they need to be accessible and dependable.
“By working with Binance, we can deliver breakthrough products that meet the requirements of global capital markets and co-create the portfolios of the future.
“Our goal is to take tokenisation from concept to practice for clients to achieve efficiencies in settlement, collateral management, and portfolio construction at scale.”
According to the firms, the goal is to deliver innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of investors by bringing greater efficiency, transparency, and accessibility to capital markets with competitive yield generation and settlement efficiency.
Speaking on the collaboration, Sandy Kaul, executive vice president and head of innovation at Franklin Templeton, states: “As these tools and technologies evolve from the fringes to the financial mainstream, partnerships like this one will be essential to accelerating adoption.”
Kaul believes blockchain is not a threat to legacy systems, but an opportunity to reimagine them.
She continues: “By working with Binance, we can harness tokenisation to bring institutional-grade solutions like our Benji Technology Platform to a wider set of investors and help bridge the worlds of traditional and decentralised finance.”
Catherine Chen, head of VIP and institutional at Binance, says that the partnership “furthers [their] commitment to bridge crypto with traditional capital markets”.
