Franklin Templeton Expands Benji Tokenization Platform to Canton Network

Odaily Planet Daily News – Asset management giant Franklin Templeton has announced the expansion of its proprietary Benji technology platform to the Canton Network, a private blockchain designed for regulatory institutions. This move aims to deepen its role in the rapidly evolving market for tokenized financial products. The Benji platform supports real-time transfers of tokenized fund shares, protocol-level compliance enforcement, and allows assets to be settled in stablecoins or cash equivalents. Initially deployed on public chains such as Stellar and Polygon, this expansion marks a shift toward institutional-grade infrastructure. According to reports, the Canton Network processes over $6 trillion in tokenized U.S. Treasury activities and supports $280 billion in daily repo transactions.
