Binance, Franklin Templeton Launch Tokenized Securities

Binance and Franklin Templeton have formed a strategic partnership to launch tokenized securities by digitizing traditional stocks and bonds on blockchain. Franklin Templeton will use its compliant Benji platform to ensure regulatory compliance and product fidelity, while Binance provides global trading infrastructure, market access and liquidity. The collaboration aims to integrate tokenized securities into mainstream portfolios, offering improved efficiency, transparency, faster settlement and competitive yields. Executives Sandy Kaul and Roger Bayston highlight that blockchain tokenization optimizes market processes without replacing legacy systems, and Binance’s Catherine Chen underlines the goal of bridging crypto assets with conventional markets. Announced amid growing calls for clear tokenized securities regulations, the project may accelerate institutional adoption, with further product details expected later this year.
