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.

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.”

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.

Billionaire owners like Elon Musk, Larry Fink (BlackRock), and Jamie Dimon (JP Morgan Chase) often have a strong influence on the hidden agendas surrounding the paradigm shift brought about by cryptocurrency and emerging Web3 technologies. CryptoCaster stands apart. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to please. Our journalism is dedicated to serving the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions, not profit motives.
We avoid the pitfall of much U.S. and global media, which often resorts to false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection. While fairness and transparency guide everything we do, we recognize that there is a right and wrong stance in the fight against fiat global banking interests and the monetary reconstruction driven by the emerging crypto ecology.
When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance, and Ripple crises, we’re not afraid to name names and uncover the truth. As a crypto sentinel, we offer a fresh, outsider perspective on global monetary disruption—something often missing from the insular American and European media bubble.
