Franklin Templeton Debuts Real-Time Yield on Benji Platform

- Investors earn yield based on holding time - Solves legacy yield distribution inefficiencies On June 10, 2025, Franklin Templeton announced its 'intraday yield' feature for tokenized assets on the Benji platform. This feature allows investors to earn yield proportional to their holding time for a tokenized security, even if they transfer the security before the day ends. Furthermore, investors can accrue yield on non-banking days, including holidays and weekends. On June 11, 2025, Cointelegraph reported that Franklin Templeton introduced this innovative feature. Business Wire also reported on June 11 that Franklin Templeton introduced this feature. This 'intraday yield' mechanism is designed to address inefficiencies in traditional finance, where yield is typically calculated over prolonged periods. Consequently, this traditional approach often causes investors who transfer assets mid-session to miss out on proportional earnings. On June 10, Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, said regarding the new feature, “this innovation seeks to resolve the ‘delayed and rigid nature of yield calculation and distribution’ found in legacy financial systems.” To achieve this, the Benji platform uses blockchain-integrated infrastructure, which facilitates precise, second-by-second yield calculation and distribution. Franklin Templeton, a major player in the financial sector managing $1.53 trillion in assets, utilizes this feature to enhance the efficiency and attractiveness of its tokenized treasury funds.
