Fortune published its inaugural Crypto 100 list this week, ranking Franklin Templeton No. 1 in the TradFi category and ahead of nine of the largest banks and exchanges on Wall Street. Fortune calls 2026 - crypto's "suit-and-tie era." We've been dressed for it since 2021. The ranking reflects some of the game-changing work we started years ago: • Launching the first U.S.-registered mutual fund to use a public blockchain as its official system of record. • Creating the Benji Technology Platform, which now operates across ten blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Stellar Development Foundation. • Growing the BENJI tokenized MMF suite to over $2.5 billion in assets (as of June 12, 2026). • Innovating to deliver Intraday Yield, paying shareholders their yield daily, and allowing the transfer of tokens peer-to-peer. And we built this infrastructure ourselves, before everyone was talking about tokenization. As digital assets enter the mainstream, clients need partners who have already done the work across technology, product and investment expertise.
