Franklin Templeton, a global investment giant, has recently unveiled its latest feature on the Benji Technology Platform – Intraday Yield. This innovative feature aims to revolutionize market opportunities for both clients and partners by providing investors with yield proportional calculation and distribution with one-second resolution when tokenized securities are transferred between users, even when traded intraday.
According to Franklin Templeton, investors can now maximize their earning potential by participating in their investments at any time of the day. The Intraday Yield feature ensures that investors continue to earn yield for the period they were a shareholder, even if they transfer the tokenized security to another investor during the day.
The Benji Technology Platform, Franklin Templeton’s proprietary blockchain-integrated stack, enables the trading, management, and administration of token-based investments. This platform can be leveraged by banks or asset managers as white label technology to tokenize securities or accessed through one of the tokenized money market funds launched by the company. Both retail and institutional investors, including hedge fund trading desks, corporate treasurers, and venture capital firms, utilize this tool for various purposes.
In addition to the Intraday Yield feature, Franklin Templeton has introduced several other capabilities through the Benji platform. These include wallet-to-wallet transfers for peer-to-peer transfer of digital tokens, stablecoin on-ramps and redemption for purchasing and redeeming BENJI tokens, and permissioned self-custody to allow external wallets to hold BENJI tokens on supported blockchains.
Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, emphasized the company’s commitment to bringing the advantages of blockchain technology to its global client base and new partners. He highlighted the potential for features like Intraday Yield to become an industry standard, enhancing the benefits and utilities of blockchain operating environments for investors.
Looking ahead, Franklin Templeton continues to innovate in the blockchain space, with assets under management totaling 1.53 trillion as of April 30, 2025. The company has launched the Franklin Crypto Index ETF and the tokenized money market fund Franklin OnChain US Government Money Fund (FOBXX) on Solana. These initiatives underscore Franklin Templeton’s ongoing efforts to leverage blockchain technology for the benefit of its clients and partners in the ever-evolving investment landscape.
