TradFi institutions have just begun to realize distributed ledger technology and blockchain’s possibilities. Without a doubt, this technology makes transactions faster and more affordable, which is why financial institutions are looking for methods to harness its potential.
Traditional Finance Entities Transform the Financial Market Using Blockchain Technology
Sandy Kaul, Franklin Templeton’s head of industry advisory services and digital assets, told Bloomberg:
“Adoption of the technology is actually accelerating very quickly. For the first time, you can really now see the pathway to us re-engineering the global financial markets ecosystem.”
With more than $1.5 trillion in assets under management (AUM), Franklin Templeton ranks among the biggest fund managers in the world.

This year, it introduced the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX), a mutual fund on the Polygon blockchain. The FOBXX has total net assets of $329.38 million as of November 30, 2023.
Not to add, in September 2023 Franklin Templeton filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to open a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). The SEC is anticipated to reply to the Franklin Templeton ETF file somewhere between January 5 and January 10, 2024, according to statistics from several sources. The last day to submit is March 31, 2024, though.
Many TradFi institutions, including Franklin Templeton, intend to upgrade their infrastructure to incorporate blockchain technology. Notably, JPMorgan, one of the biggest banks in the world, has been enhancing payment transfers with blockchain technology.
JPM Coin facilitates faster US dollar transfers between bank clients and is available around-the-clock. Some of the 2023 initiatives implemented by prominent TradFi organizations are displayed in the screenshot below.

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I was hoping you would consider taking the step of supporting CryptoCaster’s journalism.
From Elon Musk, Larry Fink(BlackRock) to Jamie Dimon(JP Morgan Chase) a number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the hidden agendas’ which eludes the public concerning the paradigm shift juxtaposed by cryptocurrency and web3 emerging technologies. CryptoCaster is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalistic efforts are produced to serve the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions – not profit motives.
And we avoid the trap that befalls much U.S. and global media – the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection. While fairness and transparency dictates everything we do, we know there is a right and a wrong position in the fight against fiat global banking interest and monetary reconstruction precipitated by the emerging crypto ecology.
When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance and Ripple crisis, we’re not afraid to name who or what is uncovered. And as a crypto sentinel, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective on the global monetary disruption – one so often missing from the insular American and European media bubble.

Our readers keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news and information, or not.
