Franklin Templeton Connects Benji Tokenization Platform to Canton Network
Franklin Templeton announced that its Benji tokenization platform is now connected to the Canton Network, enabling institutional participants to interact with regulated on-chain assets in that ecosystem. The move extends Benji’s reach into a network designed for privacy-preserving, interoperable workflows and gives asset managers and counterparties a new rails option for compliant token issuance and transfer.
This integration matters because it bridges a traditional asset manager’s tokenization infrastructure with a permissioned chain environment that emphasizes regulatory controls and interoperability. For investors and custodians, the connection could reduce frictions around settlement, custody and compliance, and may help accelerate adoption of tokenized securities by widening distribution channels and improving operational efficiency for institutional products.
