For effective management, the firm has appointed industry veterans Chris Perkins and Seth Ginns, alongside Tony Pecore, to co-lead the new unit.
While the launch of Franklin Crypto has come at a time when institutional participation in cryptocurrencies is rising, the new crypto investment management platform will provide global clients with the expertise, strategies and investment products they need to easily navigate the complexities surrounding crypto.
Franklin Templeton to acquire 250 Digital
To enable it to effectively run the new platform, Franklin Templeton further revealed that it will acquire crypto investment firm 250 Digital, founded by Perkins and Ginns.
In addition to this, it will also acquire liquid cryptocurrency strategies previously managed at CoinFund.
This potential acquisition aims to further expand Franklin Templeton’s suite of actively managed crypto and blockchain venture capital investment offerings.
While the move is typically fueled by growing institutional interest in crypto investment products and blockchain-based financial infrastructure, the company is looking to incorporate tokenized registered securities within its settlement structure.
