Franklin Templeton

Franklin Templeton filed for two new ETFs that automatically reinvest stock dividends into Bitcoin exposure, blending traditional equity investing with a built-in Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson said traditional finance resists public blockchains because they threaten fee-based revenue, as the firm expands aggressively into tokenization, bitcoin products, and on-chain finance.

Franklin Templeton will acquire 250 Digital to launch a new institutional crypto division, expanding its digital asset offerings for large investors including pensions and sovereign wealth funds.

Carson Group has approved to list BlackRock, Fidelity, Bitwise, and Franklin's spot Bitcoin ETFs for trading.
