Asset management giant Franklin Templeton has recently made a big move — two institutional money market funds have completed blockchain upgrades.
What exactly is going on? The LUIXX fund is now a blockchain-compatible version, holding short-term US debt that can directly serve as a reserve asset for stablecoins. The DIGXX fund has launched a digital share format specifically for on-chain platforms, allowing compliant institutions to record and transfer fund ownership on the blockchain — a操作方式 never before seen in traditional fund products.
An executive responsible for digital assets made it clear: traditional funds are going on-chain to break down barriers and enable more users to use them seamlessly.
In simple terms, this is another signal of a traditional financial giant leaning towards blockchain. The fact that such a level of institution is investing real money indicates that market structures are quietly changing. Is the entire industry truly embracing on-chain assets, or is it just a superficial test? What actual changes will this bring to retail investors’ returns?

Franklin's move this time really doesn't seem like a game; traditional finance is starting to seriously go on-chain.

Franklin's move this time is quite interesting, but I still have to say—institutional entry ≠ retail investors making money. Don't overthink it.
For traditional financial giants going on-chain, there are only two outcomes: either they make more profit themselves, or it's just a scheme. I'm optimistic, but risk control must be in place. Don't get carried away by the pump rhythm.

Franklin's on-chain operation, to put it simply, is still about vying for dominance in the discourse. Traditional finance can no longer sit still.

Franklin's approach is a bit ruthless, directly moving US debt onto the chain as reserves... Now the underlying asset quality of on-chain stablecoins is set to improve, indicating that institutions are already positioning for long-term holdings.

Franklin's move is well played; the migration of traditional finance onto the blockchain is an inevitable trend.

Franklin's move was well played, but can retail investors really benefit? Or is this just another prelude to a new round of harvesting profits?

Franklin's move is good, but I'm more concerned about when this thing will actually start to flow.
