Franklin Templeton Partners With SBI Holdings To Launch Crypto ETF Management Company
In Brief
Franklin Templeton forges partnership with SBI Holdings to create a new cryptocurrency ETF management company.
Asset management firm Franklin Templeton announced it has forged a partnership with financial services company SBI Holdings to create a new cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) management company.
The newly formed company is set to provide new investors with an access to a variety of diversified investment options, encompassing cryptocurrency-based ETFs, and introduce newfound capital into the underlying digital assets, potentially contributing to their price appreciation. The new company is set to launch within the year.
Amid heightened volatility in global markets, arising asset classes like digital assets and cryptocurrencies, which have a low correlation with traditional assets as, for example, equities and fixed income, offer opportunities for portfolio diversification. Via this collaboration, the firms intend to enhance access for investors in Japan to a broader range of diversified investment solutions.
As regulations concerning digital assets and ETFs gradually develop in Japan, the new joint venture will create new synergies by utilizing Franklin Templeton’s expertise with tokenized money market funds and digital asset-backed ETFs in the United States. Merged with SBI’s experience as a major player in Japan’s digital asset sector, this partnership will strive to offer new solutions that align with investors’ changing interests and goals in the Japanese market.
Franklin Templeton is a prominent issuer of cryptocurrency ETFs. The company recently introduced its United States spot Ethereum ETF and is also exploring the possibility of launching a spot Solana ETF.
