The newly acquired crypto investment firm in question was originally spun out of CoinFund in January. Leadership: The new Franklin Crypto division is spearheaded by crypto industry veteran Christopher Perkins as Head of Franklin Crypto, alongside Chief Investment Officer Seth Ginns.The duo will work closely with Tony Pecore from Franklin Templeton Digital Assets. Franklin Templeton is committing its own capital into the liquid cryptocurrency strategies that were previously managed by CoinFund.Notably, Franklin Templeton used BENJI tokens (the on-chain version of its Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund) to partially fund the acquisition. Other recent crypto developments Franklin Templeton has been a major player within the crypto sector for years. Earlier this week, the asset manager filed proposals for two novel Bitcoin-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs): the Franklin US Equity Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF and the Franklin US Innovation Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF.The buyers of this ETF will be exposed to an allocation of 95% U.S. equities and 5% Bitcoin.The fund also made a splash with the launch of the first XRP ETF last year. During the trading week of June 14 to June 18, Franklin Templeton's spot XRP ETF (ticker: XRPZ) recorded the highest net inflow in its category, pulling in $6.7 million over the five-day period.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.44.0","shortVersion":"4.44.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2645362218","isCrawlerRequest":true}
