Franklin Templeton has partnered with MoonPay, a fintech and payment infrastructure firm, to increase the accessibility and usability of tokenised financial products throughout the onchain financial ecosystem.
The initial integration intends to link Franklin Templeton’s Benji technology platform with MoonPay’s institutional trading infrastructure, aiming to allow institutional users to move between supported stablecoins and tokenised money market fund (MMF) exposure, subject to eligibility.
Through MoonPay’s existing quote, routing, execution, and network, the joint initiative intends to make access to Franklin Templeton’s tokenised MMF suite easier to use within institutional workflows.
Existing holders will be afforded another pathway back into stablecoin liquidity, said to support greater flexibility across onchain treasury, liquidity management, portfolio rebalancing, and collateral-adjacent use cases.
According to Franklin Templeton, the partnership is indicative of its commitment to developing regulated, onchain investment products and expanding its institutional operational workflows.
Speaking on the initiative, Caroline D. Pham, CEO of MoonPay Institutional, says: “Digital assets like tokenised money market funds provide benefits like improved liquidity and capital efficiency, but only if institutions have access to the onchain financial ecosystem.”
Sandy Kaul, head of innovation and digital assets at Franklin Templeton, adds: “Tokenised money market funds only become more useful when they can move with the speed and programmability of the broader digital asset ecosystem.”
The firms anticipate the collaboration to form the basis for a broader strategic relationship, predominantly focused on expanding access to onchain financial markets.
