Global cryptocurrency exchange Binance and American trading giant Franklin Templeton have joined forces to create new digital asset products. Franklin Templeton’s experience in tokenizing securities will be combined with Binance’s extensive trading infrastructure to build a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain technology. The partnership was announced on September 10, 2025.
Franklin Templeton, manages $1.64 trillion in assets, will provide its knowledge in compliant tokenization, including its “Benji Technology Platform”, showing case how both firms leverage together its strengths. Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange with a daily trading volume of $22 billion, will contribute its global trading infrastructure and large investor base.
Sandy Kaul, Head of Innovation at Franklin Templeton, stated that by working with Binance, the firm can “harness tokenization to bring institutional-grade solutions… to a wider set of investors and help bridge the worlds of traditional and decentralized finance.”
Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, emphasized the goal of advancing the practical applications of tokenization. “Our goal is to take tokenization from concept to practice for clients to achieve efficiencies in settlement, collateral management, and portfolio construction at scale,” Bayston said. He added that the collaboration would help “[deliver] breakthrough products that meet the requirements of global capital markets.”
Tokenization products to launch by year end
This move signals a concrete step toward launching new regulated products. A Binance spokesperson confirmed that the exchange “expects to unveil security tokenization products later this year.” The collaboration represents one of the most significant links between a legacy financial institution and a crypto-native exchange to date.
This partnership is a prelude of what can happen in the future between the two financial institutions, regardless if they are traditional, or digital, since their work will be combined. The partnership could speed up the widespread use of tokenized securities by combining Franklin Templeton’s legal knowledge and large asset base with Binance’s global reach and technological infrastructure.
The project could be a model for how big financial companies can work with crypto platforms to make capital markets more efficient and open to more people. This is why the launch of their first goods is such an important event for the whole sector to keep an eye on.
