MoonPay partners with Franklin Templeton to expand access to tokenized money market funds

We're excited to announce a strategic partnership with Franklin Templeton to make tokenized financial products more accessible and usable across the onchain financial ecosystem.

Franklin Templeton is a global investment management firm with over $1.6 trillion in assets under management. Since 2021, it has been a pioneer in tokenized finance, launching the world's first US-registered mutual fund to use public blockchain as its system of record. That fund, the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX), is represented onchain by the BENJI token and is supported across multiple public blockchain networks including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Arbitrum, and Base.

The integration connects Franklin Templeton's Benji Technology Platform with MoonPay Trade's institutional trading infrastructure. Eligible institutional users can now move between supported stablecoins and BENJI token exposure through a fully onchain execution experience, powered by MoonPay Trade's existing quote, routing, and settlement network.

Adding BENJI to MoonPay Trade marks one of our first expansions beyond crypto, fiat, and stablecoins. It introduces a new use case at the intersection of tokenized funds, stablecoin liquidity, and onchain capital markets. For existing BENJI holders, the integration creates a direct pathway back into stablecoin liquidity, supporting more flexible treasury management, portfolio rebalancing, and collateral workflows across institutional onchain operations.
