- Ripple, Franklin Templeton, and DBS revolutionize digital asset trading solutions.
- New partnership enhances liquidity and efficiency for institutional digital asset investors.
- Tokenized money market funds and stablecoins reshape trading and lending markets.
Ripple has entered into a strategic partnership with global investment manager Franklin Templeton and DBS Bank to unveil advanced trading and lending solutions using blockchain technology.
This collaboration aims to leverage tokenized money market funds (MMFs) and stablecoins, providing a new way for institutional investors to navigate the digital asset market while addressing volatility and liquidity concerns.
New Solutions for Digital Asset Investors
With digital assets like Bitcoin, Ether, and XRP often subject to market volatility and offering no yield, the new partnership provides a solution. Franklin Templeton will launch its sgBENJI token, which is a U.S. dollar money market fund in the short term, and Ripple will launch its RLUSD stablecoin.
These assets will be traded on the DBS Digital Exchange (DDEx) so that investors can easily and smoothly exchange RLUSD into sgBENJI tokens. This option gives a chance to reallocate portfolios to any stable and yielding asset.

This advanced solution allows clients to manage their portfolios more dynamically during times of market volatility. Trading can be conducted 24/7, with transactions settled in minutes, making it far more efficient than traditional methods.
Moreover, customers will have access to liquidity by applying their sgBENJI tokens as security in repurchase agreements (repos) with DBS or third-party platforms.
Enhancing the Tokenization Ecosystem with Blockchain Integration
Franklin Templeton will tokenize sgBENJI on the XRP Ledger, which is known for its high-speed transactions, low costs, and efficiency. By adding the XRP Ledger to its portfolio of supported blockchains, Franklin Templeton enhances interoperability across networks, providing greater access to tokenized assets.
The features of the XRP Ledger are particularly applicable to asset management of high volume and low latency, such as MMFs, which are subject to high-speed trading and settlement to satisfy the needs of institutions.
The integration will provide more seamless interactions between different blockchain networks to contribute to the increase in the accessibility of the markets with digital assets.
Strategic Impact on the Global Digital Asset Landscape
The collaboration marks a significant shift in the tokenized securities market. This partnership seeks to bring efficiency, liquidity, and utility to the global financial markets by using the power of blockchain technology.
Nigel Khakoo of Ripple pointed out that this collaboration will be able to define a new paradigm in financial transactions and provide institutional investors with the liquidity and flexibility they need.
The project represents a pivotal step in the growth of digital asset solutions for institutional investors. With this partnership, Ripple, Franklin Templeton, and DBS Bank are positioning themselves as leaders in the rapidly evolving digital finance landscape, setting the stage for future innovations in blockchain-powered finance.
