Franklin Templeton

Franklin Crypto’s Christopher Perkins explains why post-midterm certainty rallies markets, how new ETFs channel dividends into Bitcoin, and the convergence era.

Franklin Templeton’s two Bitcoin DRIP ETFs, FBEQ and FIBT, started trading today on the Nasdaq.

Franklin Templeton, the $1.7 trillion asset manager, registered two Nasdaq-listed funds yesterday. Both launch with a 95/5 split between U.S. stocks and bitcoin, and every dividend buys more bitcoin.

Franklin Templeton has completed its acquisition of 250 Digital.

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.
