Franklin Templeton and Binance have introduced a pioneering program that permits institutional clients to use tokenized money market fund shares as off-exchange collateral for trading on the Binance platform. The collaboration aims to increase safety and capital efficiency in digital markets.

This initiative enables institutions to leverage traditional, regulated, yield-bearing money market fund assets in digital markets without direct exchange parking. Instead, the value is reflected within Binance's trading realm, with assets securely held off-exchange in regulated custody.

The program, supported by Ceffu's custody solutions, reduces counterparty risk, allowing institutional investors to earn yields and trade efficiently. This marks an essential step in converging traditional financial instruments with blockchain technology, offering enhanced opportunities for digital asset engagement.
