Today, we launched Franklin Crypto: a new dedicated, institutional-grade crypto investment management unit. Industry veterans Chris Perkins and Seth Ginns will co-lead Franklin Crypto alongside @FTI_Global’s Tony Pecore. To expand our existing suite of actively managed crypto and blockchain VC investment offerings, Franklin Templeton will acquire 250 Digital, led by Perkins (@perkinscr97 ) and Ginns @sethginns , formerly of CoinFund. As part of the agreement, all CoinFund liquid cryptocurrency strategies will be acquired to broaden our crypto investment platform. The transaction is expected to incorporate tokenized registered securities within its settlement structure, marking an important step toward conducting M&A transactions on chain.
