56 minutes ago

On June 2, global asset management giant Franklin Templeton announced it will integrate its BENJI tokenized money market fund and other tokenized products into MoonPay’s on-chain trading platform, MoonPay Trade. Through this collaboration, institutional users will be able to leverage MoonPay’s recently launched on-chain trading infrastructure to seamlessly convert stablecoins such as USDC and USDT into Franklin Templeton’s tokenized money market fund, a move that’s set to boost efficiency in on-chain cash management and asset allocation. Both parties noted this partnership lays the groundwork for a broader strategic alliance between Franklin Templeton and MoonPay. For MoonPay, the deal marks an expansion of its business scope beyond cryptocurrencies, fiat, and stablecoins into the Real World Assets (RWA) space. This is also one of the first key strategic initiatives since Caroline Pham joined as CEO of MoonPay Institutional; Pham previously served as Acting Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
