Tokenized fund offers access to high-quality assets enhanced by the speed, transparency and efficiencies of blockchain technology with a minimum investment of US$20
Singapore, November 10, 2025 - Franklin Templeton, one of the largest global investment managers in the world and a pioneer in digital assets technology, today announced its collaboration with DBS Bank, Southeast Asia’s largest bank, to launch Singapore’s first money market fund with a tokenized register (“Tokenized Retail Fund”) – the Franklin Onchain U.S. Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund[1] (the “Fund”).
The Fund has received approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to be offered as an authorized scheme. It is now available to DBS’ wealth clients and accredited investors through the bank’s relationship managers, with retail access expected in the first quarter of 2026. By enabling fractional ownership and lowering minimum investment thresholds, tokenized funds have the potential to democratize access to high-quality, blockchain-integrated investment strategies. Investors will be able to access the Fund with a much lower minimum investment sum of US$20.
The fund utilizes Franklin Templeton's proprietary Benji Technology Platform for blockchain-integrated recordkeeping offering investors enhanced transparency through real-time fund data, improved liquidity, daily yield accrual, and greater accessibility — benefits made possible through blockchain technology. The blockchain’s decentralized, tamper-proof system also ensures secure, transparent investment tracking.
