Franklin Templeton has launched a new “Intraday Yield” feature on its Benji tokenization platform, allowing investors to earn real-time yield on tokenized assets.
Unlike traditional finance systems, where yield is typically calculated at the end of the trading day and distributed monthly, this feature enables yield accumulation by the second, including on weekends and holidays.

This means investors can still earn proportional yield even if they sell or transfer the asset mid-day.
The move aims to address long-standing inefficiencies in legacy finance by making yield distribution more precise and dynamic.
The feature enhances Franklin Templeton’s presence in the tokenized asset space, where it already manages the $750 million Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund – one of the largest of its kind.
The trend of tokenizing real-world, yield-bearing assets like U.S. Treasurys, corporate bonds, and equities is rapidly growing.
According to RWA.xyz, the market cap of tokenized assets surged from $15.75 billion in January to $23.14 billion by June 9, a nearly 47% increase.
Major firms like BlackRock and VanEck are also expanding in this space, jointly managing over $2.94 billion in tokenized Treasury assets.
Franklin Templeton’s innovation may set a new standard in the evolving digital asset ecosystem.
