In brief

  • Franklin Templeton is acquiring 250 Digital, a CoinFund spinoff, as it builds out its own crypto wing, Franklin Crypto.
  • The firm is bringing the 250 Digital team on board as well as its crypto investment strategies, which it will invest in as part of the deal.
  • It is using BENJI tokens, its on-chain money market fund, as payment considerations in the deal.

Global asset manager Franklin Templeton announced Wednesday it is forming a crypto unit—Frankling Crypto—following its acquisition of 250 Digital, a crypto investment firm and spinoff from CoinFund.

The acquisition, expected to close during Q2, brings the 250 Digital team and all its crypto strategies to Franklin Templeton, which will invest in those strategies as part of the deal. 

“Crypto’s institutional moment has arrived, and Franklin Crypto will help our global clients navigate this complex and rapidly evolving asset class by delivering the expertise, knowledge and digital asset products that meet their sophisticated investment needs,” Head of Franklin Crypto Christopher Perkins said in a statement.

Perkins, who will join the firm and serve as the division leader of Franklin Crypto, previously led 250 Digital alongside Seth Ginns, who will come on board and serve as the Chief Investment Officer of Franklin Crypto.

“This is an exciting addition for Franklin Templeton, and we’re pleased to welcome Chris, Seth and the 250 Digital team to our firm,” Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson in a statement.

“Together, their investment talent and differentiated strategies strengthen our capabilities in digital assets and position us among a small group of global asset managers with a dedicated, institutional-grade crypto investment management team, enhancing our ability to serve clients worldwide,” she added. 

While financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed, the firm noted that BENJI tokens—those representing its on-chain money market fund—will be used as payment considerations, “marking an important and innovative step toward conducting M&A transactions on chain.”

The firm first debuted the tokenized fund in 2021, before expanding its access to Ethereum in 2024. Since that time, it has also expanded to other popular blockchain networks like Solana, and Ethereum scaling networks like Base and Arbitrum

Its latest crypto initiative comes just one week after it announced a deal with Ondo Finance to launch tokenized versions of five of its exchange-traded funds (ETFs). 

A representative for Franklin Templeton did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment.

Why LYNO’s Presale Could Trigger the Next Wave of Crypto FOMO After SOL and PEPE

Why LYNO’s Presale Could Trigger the Next Wave of Crypto FOMO After SOL and PEPE

The post Why LYNO’s Presale Could Trigger the Next Wave of Crypto FOMO After SOL and PEPE appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocirca has never been bereft of hype cycles and fear of missing out (FOMO). The case of Solana (SOL) and Pepe (PEPE) is one of the brightest examples that early investments into the correct projects may yield the returns that are drifting. Today there is an emerging rival in the limelight—LYNO. LYNO is in its presale stage, and already it is being compared to former breakout tokens, as many investors are speculating that LYNO will be the next big thing to ignite the market in a similar manner. Early Bird Presale: Lowest Price LYNO is in the Early Bird presale and costs only $0.050 for each token; the initial round will rise to $0.055. To date, approximately 629,165.744 tokens have been sold, with approximately $31,458.287 of that amount going towards the $100,000 project goal.  The crypto presales allow investors the privilege to acquire tokens at reduced prices before they become available to the general market, and they tend to bring substantial returns in the case of great fundamentals. The final goal of the project: 0.100 per token. This gradual development underscores increasing investor confidence and it brings a sense of urgency to those who wish to be first movers. LYNO’s Edge in a Competitive Market LYNO isn’t just another presale token—it’s a powerful AI-driven cross-chain arbitrage platform designed to deliver real utility and long-term growth. Operating across 15+ blockchains, LYNO’s AI engine analyzes token prices, liquidity, volume, and gas fees in real-time to identify the most profitable trade routes. It integrates with bridges like LayerZero, Wormhole, and Axelar, allowing assets to move instantly across networks, so no opportunity is missed.  The platform also includes community governance, letting $LYNO holders vote on protocol upgrades and fee structures, staking rewards for long-term investors, buyback-and-burn mechanisms to support token value, and audited smart…
