Franklin Templeton disclosed that two new ETF registration documents had been submitted and that it was planned to transfer the share income to the Bitcoin-related assets in accordance with established rules. Such products, which continue to be based on United States equities, have been added to a fixed-rate bitcoin opening, indicating that traditional regulators continue to expand encryption-related investment tools.

Two products to take effect in September

The documents show that the two products are Franklin US Equity Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF and Franklin US Innovation Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF, with an expected effective date of 1 September 2026.

According to the disclosure, the product was initially configured at 95 per cent U.S. large capitalization and 5 per cent bitcoin-related investments. The bitcoin portion can be achieved by trading products, futures, options or other investment instruments on the spot bitcoin exchange.

Bitcoin has a ceiling.

The company disclosed that the product would be rebalanced on a quarterly basis. If the bitcoin configuration is higher than 5%, it will be reduced to 4.5%. Between the two rebalancings, the bitcoin convertible ceiling is 20%.

  • Initial configuration: 95 per cent United States share, 5 per cent bitcoin-related assets
  • Quarterly rebalancing: over 5% return 4.5%
  • Period ceiling: Bitcoin convertible not to exceed 20%

As at 30 April, the relevant equity index contained approximately 498 securities only. Documentation shows that the market value of the component units ranges from $7.5 billion to $4.9 trillion.

Continued expansion of digital asset operations

This application added a new product to the Franklin Templeton digital asset product line. The company has now set up a spot-coded ETF, a monetization fund and investment products based on block chains.

SoSoValue data show that, as of Thursday, the net assets of Bitcoin ETF “EZBC” under the Franklin Templeton flag were $358.9 million, with a cumulative net inflow of $329.6 million.

In the near future, we're moving forward with the monetization cooperation.

In recent months, a number of digital asset partnerships have continued in Franklin Templeton. On 15 June, the company indicated that it would work with Ondo Finance to launch a 24-hour ETF monetized version that could be traded in an encrypted wallet for investors outside the United States, covering United States shares, solid collections and gold assets.

Earlier, in June, Franklin Dunpton had access to MoonPay Trade with his BENJI money-marketing fund, allowing institutional clients to trade in chain-based infrastructure and to exchange fixed currency for BENJI with USDC, USDT, etc.

In May, the company also announced its cooperation with the encryption exchange Kraken parent company Payward. The parties state that BENJI will be used on the Kraken platform as a collateral and cash management tool for institutional users, and plans to develop more monetized investment products based on Payward ' s xStocks infrastructure.
