Franklin Templeton’s Benji platform now offers real-time yield, letting investors earn interest by the second.
Context
Franklin Templeton, a big investment company with $1.53T in assets, has added a new feature called “Intraday Yield” to its Benji platform. This feature lets people earn interest every second they hold a token. Previously, interest was paid at the end of the month and only once a month. Now, people who sell the token before the end of the day can still get interest. They can also earn it on weekends and holidays. The company already uses this feature for its tokenised U.S. Government Money Fund. That fund holds about $750M in assets.
Evidence
Pending intelligence enrichment.
Analysis
Roger Bayston leads the digital asset team at Franklin Templeton. He said the old way of paying interest is slow and unfair. He told Cointelegraph that the new feature helps fix this problem.
