Franklin Templeton is teaming up with MoonPay to let big investors swap stablecoins for yields 24/7
Franklin Templeton is deepening its digital asset strategy through a partnership with MoonPay that lets eligible institutional investors move between stablecoins and Franklin Templeton’s tokenized money market fund using an onchain workflow. The integration links Franklin Templeton’s Benji Technology Platform with MoonPay Trade, enabling exchanges of supported stablecoins for fund exposure and back again without leaving blockchain networks. The move fits Franklin Templeton’s broader push into digital assets, including plans to launch Franklin Crypto, a dedicated crypto division built around acquiring 250 Digital. The company is also continuing to tokenize traditional financial products. Franklin Templeton says 2026 could become the “year of the universal liquidity layer,” where stablecoins, tokenized funds, and other digital money become interoperable across trading, lending, and collateral uses. A key institutional appeal is 24/7 access to yield by shifting stablecoin balances into tokenized money market funds. MoonPay’s role also reflects its expansion into tokenized real-world assets and regulated onchain investment products.
