PANews reported on February 11th that Binance and Franklin Templeton have been collaborating since September 2025 to develop new digital asset projects and products. Today, they launched their first collaboration under this strategic partnership – an institutional-grade OTC collateral program. This program is supported by custody and settlement infrastructure provided by Ceffu, Binance's institutional-grade native crypto custody partner. Eligible institutional clients can use tokenized Money Market Fund (MMF) units issued on the Franklin Templeton Benji technology platform as OTC collateral when trading on Binance.
