RWA is “getting bigger”: traditional asset management is re-growing on-chain


Franklin Templeton has recently disclosed a set of data: its Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Market Fund (FOBXX) has been running for 5 years and has been operating on-chain in the form of BENJI tokens.
As of April 2026, this product has become the second-largest real-world asset (RWA) project on the Stellar network, with assets under management of approximately $1.98 billion.
In more direct terms, it means traditional money market funds are being “moved onto the chain” via tokenization—and this is no longer a trial phase; it’s a mature product with real scale.
My own understanding is that this kind of data is actually more important than crypto prices. It shows one thing:
On-chain assets are no longer just crypto-native assets; they’re starting to absorb the “idle” pool of capital from traditional finance.
In the past, when people discussed blockchain, it was mostly about technology and narratives; now we’re entering a more realistic stage—whoever can reliably and stably bring real-world assets onto the chain is the one that’s closest to the mainstream capital system.
Many people are still focused on short-term fluctuations, but the real long-term change is happening in these asset growths that don’t look that exciting at first. #WCTC交易王PK #美国寻求战略比特币储备 #比特币ETF期权持仓限额增4倍 $BSB $SKYAI
