Franklin Templeton has expanded the trading of its OnChain U.S. Government Money Market Fund to the largest blockchain, Ethereum.
The crypto custodian’s clients can use money market fund tokens as collateral in derivatives trades after the company received approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) in Abu Dhabi.
These tokens are at a regulatory disadvantage to stablecoins due to their classification as securities, the report said.
Less than five months after hitting $1 billion in market capitalization, tokenized Treasury notes have doubled in size again, crossing the $2 billion level on Saturday, according to data from RWA.xyz.
Ethena’s proposal to allocate funds to tokenized real-world assets for yield follows similar actions by crypto lender MakerDAO and Ethereum layer-2 Arbitrum’s development organization.
The tokenized U.S. Treasury market is poised to reach $1 billion “very soon” given the growth of BlackRock’s BUIDL, an analyst noted.
