  • Franklin Templeton manages $1.6 trillion in assets and has developed blockchain tools like its Benji platform.
  • Last year, it launched a tokenized treasury fund that can be traded on Coinbase's Base blockchain.
  • Sandy Kaul from Franklin Templeton stated that blockchain presents an opportunity to innovate legacy systems.
  • Binance serves over 280 million users and aims to integrate traditional capital markets with crypto.
  • Specific products will be announced later this year.
