The Franklin Templeton Benji Technology Platform has expanded onto the Canton Blockchain, providing global institutional clients with access to tokenised investment products.
According to the Canton Network, this milestone expands the availability of regulated, tokenised financial instruments on Canton while strengthening its role as a blockchain network for institutions.
The Benji Technology Platform is Franklin Templeton鈥檚 proprietary blockchain-integrated stack, and is designed to facilitate the administration of token-based investments.
This integration creates new opportunities for Canton鈥檚 Global Collateral Network, where participants such as QCP plan to use the platform as a source of liquidity.
The development reinforces Canton鈥檚 ability to support interconnected use cases across traditional finance and digital asset markets, the firm says, while meeting the regulatory and privacy requirements of global institutions.
Roger Bayston, head of digital assets at Franklin Templeton, states: 鈥淥ur bottom line is to meet institutions where they are, and just as importantly, where they鈥檙e headed.
鈥淚ntegrating our Benji Technology Platform with the Canton Network allows us to deliver a private blockchain option alongside the interoperability clients expect, without compromising on the transparency and security that define our approach.
鈥淭ogether with a team that deeply understands the institutional market structure and its quirks, we鈥檙e building a foundation that can unite traditional financial rigor with the innovation of tokenised markets.鈥�
Georg Schneider, head of RWA at Digital Asset, comments: 鈥淭he integration of the Benji Technology Platform into the Canton Network demonstrates the strength of our ecosystem and the momentum behind tokenised finance.
