CFB Talks Digital Assets Episode 39: Bitcoin and Ether made EZPZ with Franklin's Roger Bayston and David Mann
Following Franklin Templeton's recent launch of Franklin Crypto ETF, ticker EZPZ, the asset management giant now has three digital asset ETPs in its roster.
But if you thought Franklin’s crypto journey began with its Bitcoin and Ether ETFs listed last year, you’re probably unaware of how significant and longstanding its digital asset footprint actually is ... not to mention the laser eyes!
Well, here’s your best chance to catch up quick: we’re honoured to welcome Franklin’s Head of Digital Assets, Roger Bayston, and Head of ETF Product and Capital Markets, David Mann, to the CFB Talks Digital Assets podcast.
Join us to learn how EZPZ is just one of the fruits of Franklin’s growing track record on-chain, stemming from their tokenized money market fund launched in 2021, and beyond.
Sample highlights from our deep dive:
- Why Franklin Crypto ETF is the EZPZ route to BTC + ETH exposure
- Why Franklin chose our CF Institutional Digital Asset Index – US Settlement Price (IDAX) as EZPZ’s reference index
- Signs that advisors are coming round to the idea that a zero-crypto allocation is the biggest risk
- Why Roger thinks getting indices like IDAX into model portfolios could be key for greater crypto diversification
- How learnings from Franklin’s multi-chain money market fund, FOBXX and its BENJI token, are paving the way for increased efficiency, convenience, and growth for investors
