Major asset manager Franklin Templeton is reshaping its money market fund strategy by converting it into a stablecoin reserve vehicle. This move signals how traditional financial institutions are increasingly recognizing stablecoins as legitimate financial infrastructure rather than experimental assets. By anchoring a money market fund to stablecoin mechanisms, Templeton bridges the gap between conventional finance and blockchain-based settlements, potentially accelerating stablecoin adoption among institutional investors. The shift reflects broader industry momentum—as more asset managers explore how tokenized reserves and stablecoin infrastructure can enhance liquidity management and settlement efficiency. This development could reshape how major financial players allocate capital and manage risk in a crypto-integrated ecosystem.

Franklin has truly woken up this time. Traditional finance is finally dropping the pretense and directly using stablecoins as infrastructure. This is the right way.

Old topic, wait until Franklin's wave is truly launched before bragging. Right now it's all PPTs and press releases. I've seen too many of these "strategic shifts" end up as marketing shows. But on the other hand, the infrastructure for stablecoins is indeed the secret to wealth. Whoever controls the settlement layer holds the future, and there are plenty of arbitrage opportunities from forks. Raising three kids over the years has taught me that you shouldn't trust project teams' stories lightly. Looking at the code and real transaction data is more reliable. The betting agreement is here—dare to truly decentralize? Brothers, traditional finance entering the scene doesn't mean this stuff is safe. Audit vulnerabilities and contract risks are equally deadly. Those who understand, understand. Early participants have already made a round of profit from arbitrage spreads. Now, those entering need to queue up slowly.
