đš #SECIssuesNoActionLetterToFranklinTempleton
$BTC
SEC issued a no-action letter clearing Franklin Templeton's traditional funds to hold shares of its blockchain-based Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (BENJI/FOBXX) â without meeting physical-vault custody rules designed for paper securities.
đ What it solves: Under the 1940 Act, funds needed specific physical custody for securities. BENJI's records live on blockchain (Stellar, Ethereum, Solana), creating a mismatch old rules never anticipated. This builds on a 1992 precedent.
đ Why "no-action letter" matters: Not a law â just SEC staff saying they won't recommend enforcement under specific conditions. Narrower than legislation, but faster and immediately practical.
đ Bigger than one fund: BENJI invests 99.5%+ in government securities, not crypto â boring infrastructure, just tokenized. Could become a template other asset managers follow.
đ My take: "Boring but important" regulatory plumbing â won't move BTC price today, but shows TradFi adapting to blockchain, one carve-out at a time.
â ïž Not financial or legal advice.
