Why Franklin Templeton is Betting BIG on XRP
About this episode
Whether you're a TradFi veteran or a crypto native, this episode bridges the gap between the two worlds. We’re joined by Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, to discuss the accelerating "Institutional Breakout Phase" of the digital asset market.
Roger dives deep into how the $1.6 trillion asset manager is positioning XRP and the XRP Ledger (XRPL) as foundational pillars of the future financial system. We explore the massive shift from "watching" blockchain to building on it, including the launch of the Franklin XRP ETF (XRPZ) and the integration of tokenized money market funds.
