Franklin Templeton Launches First Tokenized Retail Fund in Singapore with $20 Minimum Investment

Franklin Templeton has secured regulatory approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore to launch the Franklin OnChain USD Short-Term Money Market Fund, marking a historic milestone in digital finance. This pioneering tokenized retail fund, built on blockchain technology, offers mass-market accessibility with a minimum investment of just US$20.
