BounceBit Adds Franklin Templeton’s Tokenized Money Market Fund for Capital-Efficient Yields
August 6, 2025 by Sheila
BounceBit Prime, a CeDeFi infrastructure provider, has announced the integration of Franklin Templeton’s tokenized money market fund, BENJI token. This development allows for capital-efficient yields, leveraging real-world asset (RWA) yields with crypto-based execution.
With this integration, BENJI becomes the first tokenized money market fund to be used as collateral in yield products. BounceBit Prime will act as an execution venue for these tokenized assets, enabling users to benefit from both an underlying U.S. government bond yield and a crypto yield strategy.
The platform serves as a regulated custody, smart contract-enabled allocation, and automated execution of delta-neutral and basis yield strategies. This allows traders to maintain the 4.5% yield on U.S. Treasuries while generating additional exchange-based returns.
Franklin Templeton launched the BENJI token in 2021. The token records ownership directly on blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, Avalanche, and VeChain. The USD 692 million fund is backed by U.S. government securities and operates under regulatory oversight.
The integration of Franklin Templeton’s tokenized money market fund marks a significant milestone for BounceBit Prime in its mission to link institutional-grade assets with decentralized finance infrastructure. This move enables capital to be deployed via regulated partners without relying on stablecoins or synthetic assets.
BounceBit Prime focuses on supporting self-custodied staking, smart contract-based capital flows, and transparent access to credit markets. Additionally, it offers the trading of tokenized stocks and indices, making it suitable for investors interested in exposure to tokenized assets.
As part of its expansion plans, BounceBit aims to extend its product offerings to include tokenized equity products in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
