Franklin Templeton erweitert tokenisierte Fondsplattform Benji auf BNB Chain

Asset-Management-Riese sprengt Ketten - Tokenisierungswelle erreicht neuen Höhepunkt.

BNB Chain-Integration beschleunigt institutionelle Adoption

Franklin Templeton katapultiert sein Benji-Ökosystem direkt in die aufstrebende BNB Chain-Infrastruktur. Der Move demonstriert erneut, wie traditionelle Finance-Giganten Blockchain-Technologie nicht mehr ignorieren können - selbst wenn sie es lieber täten.

Tokenisierte Fondsplattformen umgehen veraltete Abwicklungszeiten und öffnen institutionellen Anlegern rund um die Uhr Zugang. Die Expansion auf BNB Chain unterstreicht Tempos wachsende Dominanz im institutionellen DeFi-Space.

Während traditionelle Banker noch über Blockchain-Lexika blättern, bauen Finanzriesen bereits die Infrastruktur von morgen - ein typischer Fall von 'wenn du sie nicht schlagen kannst, join their chain'.

Benji’s expansion  to use BNB Chain’s technical strengths 

According to Franklin Templeton, Benji’s expansion to BNB Chain stands out because the chain offers a purpose-built environment for tokenization.

This MOVE builds on Benji’s experience with tokenization at the institutional level by using BNB Chain’s technical strengths, like its scalable, low-cost infrastructure and high transaction throughput, to create a new class of on-chain financial assets.

Sarah Song, head of business development at BNB Chain, said, “BNB Chain has a purpose-built environment that issuers can’t find elsewhere: fast settlement, low fees, and compliant data tooling in one ecosystem […] For an institution like Franklin Templeton, it’s not only about the technology, it’s about partnering with a chain that already demonstrates real liquidity and adoption at scale,” 

Meanwhile, the total value of real-world assets tokenized on the BNB chain is over $542 million, making it the eighth-largest in the world. The global RWA market has grown fivefold in three years and is estimated to reach $30 trillion by 2030.

In addition, BNB Chain has surged in the past couple of years to become the fifth-largest blockchain by market capitalization, at about $140.65 billion. Its native token, BNB, recently broke over $1,000 for the first time, and is currently trading at $1,010, up 17% over the past month. However, the coin is down almost 1% in the last 24 hours.

RWA sector surpasses the 30 billion threshold

Franklin Templeton’s move reflects a broader trend among major traditional asset managers using public blockchains to scale tokenized financial products. 

Meanwhile, the tokenized RWA sector continues to expand, recently surpassing $30 billion in on-chain value, nearly double the amount recorded in January 2025. According to the latest data from RWA.xyz, the on-chain RWA market has reached $30.42 billion. This is supported by 400,880 individual holders worldwide.

The increase represents an 8.85% gain compared to the previous 30 days. It is showing renewed momentum in tokenization activity. However, the number of transfers each month tells a more complicated story. 

The past 30 days saw $63.18 billion in RWA transfers. A decline of more than 20% from the previous month. This suggests that while more investors hold RWAs, overall trading activity has slowed.

Alongside RWAs, the stablecoin market also showed healthy growth. There are now $286.40 billion worth of stablecoins in circulation. That’s more than 6% more than the last month. Holder numbers climbed to over 192 million, affirming that stablecoins remain the backbone of liquidity across decentralized finance.
