Binance Partners With Franklin Templeton to Enable Tokenized Money Market Funds as Off-Exchange Collateral

  • Institutions can trade on Binance using tokenized funds from Franklin Templeton without moving assets on the exchange.
  • Assets stay in custody, earn yield, and still count as collateral.

Binance Exchange has taken a step forward to deepen the connection between traditional finance and digital assets. Binance has partnered with Franklin Templeton, a global asset manager, to allow institutional traders to use tokenized money market funds as collateral. 

What changes happened after this partnership

Usually, large traders need to post collateral for their cash or crypto into the exchange. This step creates the risk if the exchange fails or freezes the withdrawals. Under the new structure, investors can hold tokenized shares of money market funds issued through Franklin Templeton’s Benji platform, and these assets stay off the exchange in regulated custody. Binance simply recognizes its value and allows it to be used as a margin for trading.

Money market funds are considered relatively stable and low risk. This means that the institutions can continue earning returns while using the same assets to support trading activity. This is another major step for the real-world asset adoption inside the crypto markets. It shows that traditional finance products can live on blockchain rails. For many firms, custody risk has been the biggest barrier, but this structure directly solves that risk.

Catherine Chen, Head of VIP and Institutional at Binance, described this partnership as a natural next step in connecting traditional finance and digital assets. The goal is to allow institutions to trade crypto while maintaining regulatory protections and professional asset management standards.

(Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images) Getty Images St. Louis Cardinals lifer Adam Wainwright is a pretty easygoing guy, and not unlikely to talk with you about baseball traditions and barbecue, or even share a joke. That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…
