Global asset manager Franklin Templeton has teamed up with Binance to launch blockchain-based investment products targeting African markets.
The partnership aims to bring regulated blockchain investment solutions to investors seeking diversification and yield. Binance’s infrastructure and Franklin Templeton’s traditional finance expertise combine to build institutional-grade offerings, bridging gaps between legacy finance and the crypto ecosystem.

This move reflects a larger global trend of traditional financial players entering Africa’s crypto scene. With increasing local demand for both crypto and structured investment products, partnerships like this could reshape Africa’s fintech landscape.
However, the success of such products will depend heavily on regulatory clarity across African jurisdictions and the willingness of retail and institutional investors to adopt blockchain-based instruments.
