Rounds
$79M
Invested
One of the largest traditional asset managers in the world, Franklin Templeton has been moving into digital assets with a measured but deliberate pace, backing early and growth-stage projects across blockchain infrastructure, DeFi, and tokenization. The firm launched its own on-chain money market fund on public blockchains, which put it ahead of most legacy finance peers on the institutional crypto adoption curve. With six recorded investments, it operates more as a strategic allocator than a prolific VC, prioritizing regulated and institutional-grade segments of the market.
