Franklin Sees $700B Tokenization by 2030

Franklin Templeton says tokenization could reach about $700 billion by 2030, with Asia leading growth. The view comes from an interview where Franklin executive Max Gokhman explained APAC demand and ETF progress; BeInCrypto outlined outlook on Oct. 19, 2025.

The firm is doubling down on Asia through partnerships and technology. Franklin Templeton announced collaboration with Binance in September to build digital-asset products, aiming for faster settlement and wider access for investors.

Franklin is also expanding its Benji tokenization stack across blockchains to scale distribution. CoinDesk recently reported integration with BNB Chain, a move meant to lower costs and support new on-chain assets.

Early products show how tokenization can work for mainstream users. Franklin’s team described tokenized money-market funds as a bridge to 24/7 markets, faster settlement, and new use cases, setting the stage for broader adoption.

“The path starts with retail … once it gets large, it gives liquidity to institutions and secondary markets flourish,” said Max Gokhman, Deputy Chief Investment Officer at Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions, in the BeInCrypto interview.
