The Canton Network has announced that Franklin Templeton is expanding its Benji Technology Platform onto the Canton Blockchain. This integration aims to provide global institutional clients with seamless access to tokenised investment products. The move expands the availability of regulated, tokenised financial instruments on the network, reinforcing Canton’s position as a key blockchain for institutions.

The Benji Technology Platform is Franklin Templeton’s proprietary system designed to manage token-based investments. Using this platform, Franklin Templeton launched the first U.S.-registered mutual fund using blockchain technology in 2021. The firm now offers several on-chain tokenised investment products for various use cases, including retail, institutional, and collateral.

This integration also creates new opportunities for Canton’s Global Collateral Network. Participants, such as QCP, intend to use the platform as a new source of liquidity. This development highlights Canton’s ability to support interconnected traditional finance and digital asset markets while adhering to institutional regulatory and privacy standards.
