Regulatory Greenlight for Blockchain-Based Money Market Fund by Franklin Templeton

Franklin Templeton has secured regulatory approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to roll out a tokenized money market fund aimed at retail investors, a first in Singapore.

The fund, known as the Franklin OnChain U.S. Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund, will be available through the firm’s blockchain-integrated platform, enabling greater transparency, efficiency, and security in fund administration.

Structured under Franklin Templeton’s Variable Capital Company (VCC), the fund will allow everyday investors to enter the digital asset space with a minimum investment of just $20. Shares will be issued directly on the blockchain, reducing administrative friction and offering near-instant settlement.

Singapore’s proactive stance on crypto regulation has made it a magnet for digital asset innovation. The MAS has built a framework that fosters technological advancement while safeguarding investors, attracting heavyweight institutions like Franklin Templeton and Vaneck to explore tokenized financial products.

The global tokenized assets market is projected to balloon from $0.6 trillion in 2025 to nearly $19 trillion by 2033. Within that, U.S. treasury-backed funds are seeing increasing adoption as they merge stability with blockchain’s 24/7 accessibility.
