Lumen Loop's take

Franklin Templeton's Franklin Onchain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX), a $300 million tokenized money market fund, is diversifying its blockchain presence beyond Stellar. Originally launched on Stellar, the fund expanded to Polygon in April and now plans to issue tokens on Avalanche, Aptos, and Arbitrum. Franklin Templeton and Apollo have invested in Aptos Labs, which was founded by former members of Facebook's Diem stablecoin project. However, blockchain diversification has progressed slowly, with the Polygon deployment holding only $2 million in assets, likely held by Franklin Templeton itself.
