Franklin Templeton's Franklin OnChain US Government Money Fund (FOBXX) marked its five-year anniversary and surpassed $2 billion in assets under management. In a Bloomberg Crypto interview, Denelle Dixon (Stellar CEO) and Sandy Kaul (Franklin Templeton innovation head) discussed tokenization's role in institutional finance. Key points: the fund has processed over 200 million peer-to-peer transfers on Stellar with zero fees, offers a $20 entry point versus traditional $2,500+ minimums, and recently used tokenized assets to settle an M&A transaction. New regulatory clarity on special purpose broker dealer rules and CFTC approval of tokenized money market funds as derivative collateral are expected to unlock significant institutional adoption and volume growth in the next 12-18 months.
