HashKey Exchange to Offer Franklin Templeton’s OnChain US Government Liquidity Fund in Asia

HashKey Exchange is listing Franklin Templeton's tokenized U.S. government money market fund, branded as grBENJI, making it available to qualified professional investors across Asia. The fund operates through BENJI tokens issued on public blockchains, with each token representing a share in the underlying money market fund. The listing marks an expansion of Franklin Templeton's on-chain asset offerings and represents one of the first instances of a major institutional asset manager distributing a government liquidity product through a licensed Asian crypto exchange.

The arrangement leverages Hong Kong's regulated crypto framework, positioning HashKey as a distribution channel for tokenized traditional finance products targeting institutional clients in the region. This bridges traditional finance liquidity instruments with blockchain infrastructure, allowing Asian institutional investors direct access to dollar-denominated government fund exposure via tokenized shares.

• Franklin Templeton's tokenized money market fund becomes accessible to Asian professional investors through a major licensed exchange, expanding institutional on-chain products in the region.
• BENJI tokens on public blockchains enable fractional ownership of a U.S. government liquidity fund, combining traditional finance stability with blockchain settlement.
• The partnership demonstrates licensed crypto venues in Asia serving as distribution platforms for established asset managers' tokenized offerings.
