How Franklin Templeton Is Scaling Digital Assets | Christopher Jensen on Stablecoins, Tokenisation

Summary

Franklin Templeton is moving from U.S.-centric incubation to a global roll‑out of digital-asset products, registering security tokens in multiple jurisdictions and operating across nine public blockchains. The firm says 2025 marks an inflection point as traditional institutions shift from proofs‑of‑concept to real allocations, using ETPs/ETFs as on‑ramps while exploring deeper tokenized exposures. Stablecoins are singled out as a near-term “killer app” for low‑cost, near‑instant settlement and as the primary currency pair for on‑chain activity, with rising TVL and usage. Franklin Templeton is positioning to capture tokenization and DeFi integrations while watching evolving regulatory frameworks for both stablecoins and the blockchains that host them.
