Canton Network has announced the expansion of Franklin Templeton’s Benji Technology Platform onto the Canton Blockchain.
The firms say this provides global institutional clients with seamless access to tokenised investment products.
The Benji Technology Platform is Franklin Templeton’s proprietary blockchain-integrated stack, designed to facilitate the administration of token-based investments.
This firm notes that this integration creates new opportunities for Canton’s Global Collateral Network, where participants such as QCP plan to now leverage the platform as a source of liquidity.
It adds that this development reinforces Canton’s ability to support interconnected use cases across traditional finance and digital asset markets, while meeting the regulatory and privacy requirements of global institutions.
Roger Bayston, head of digital assets at Franklin Templeton, says: “Our bottom line is to meet institutions where they are, and just as importantly, where they’re headed.
“Integrating our Benji Technology Platform with the Canton Network allows us to deliver a private blockchain option alongside the interoperability clients expect, without compromising on the transparency and security that define our approach.”
Baystone continues: “Together with a team that deeply understands the institutional market structure and its quirks, we’re building a foundation that can unite traditional financial rigor with the innovation of tokenised markets.”
Darius Sit, founder at QCP, comments: “This collaboration showcases how regulated tokenised products can power the next generation of institutional finance.
“Together with Canton, we’re building trusted, scalable solutions that redefine market standards.”
George Schneider, head of RWA at Digital Asset, adds: “The integration of the Benji Technology Platform into the Canton Network demonstrates the strength of our ecosystem and the momentum behind tokenised finance.
“With Franklin Templeton joining the network, institutions gain access to a trusted provider to enhance collateral mobility and deepen liquidity options across our Global Collateral Network.”
