šŸ’µ Franklin Templeton, managing $1.6 trillion in assets, has expanded its blockchain presence by launching its on-chain money market fund on the Avalanche network. The $420 million Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX) allows investors to use USDC for investments and enables peer-to-peer share transfers. This move bridges traditional finance with blockchain technology, offering improved efficiency and demonstrating blockchain's potential in the financial sector.
