- Franklin Templeton launches a new “Intraday Yield” feature for tokenized assets, offering yield accrual by the second.
- The feature allows investors to earn yield even if they transfer assets before the day’s end and during weekends or holidays.
- “Intraday Yield” will operate on the company’s Benji tokenization platform.
- The market for tokenized assets reached $23.1 billion as of June 9, an increase of nearly 47% since January.
- Other major firms, including BlackRock and VanEck, collectively manage over $2.9 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasurys.
Franklin Templeton, a global investment company overseeing $1.53 trillion in assets, has launched a patent-pending “Intraday Yield” feature for tokenized securities. This enhancement allows investors to receive yield based on the exact time they hold a tokenized asset, effective even for transfers before the market closes. The update was announced on Tuesday and is now available on the company’s Benji technology platform.
With this feature, yield is calculated to the second, compared to traditional finance, where yield is typically calculated daily and paid out monthly. Investors can also benefit from yield accumulation on weekends and holidays, not just standard banking days. The company aims to improve the traditional process, where those transferring assets mid-session often miss out on proportional earnings.
“Intraday Yield is designed to solve a century-old inefficiency in traditional finance: the delayed and rigid nature of yield calculation and distribution,” said Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton. He explained that most legacy systems only calculate and distribute yield at the end of trading days, causing some investors to lose out on yield earned during partial holding periods.
Franklin Templeton manages one of the largest tokenized treasury funds, with about $750 million in the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund. Tokenizable real-world assets, such as U.S. Treasurys and corporate bonds, are increasingly popular among investors seeking yield on blockchain-based platforms.
According to RWA.xyz, the total value of tokenized assets grew from $15.8 billion in January to $23.1 billion as of June 9, 2025. Other asset managers like BlackRock and VanEck are also supporting the growth of tokenized funds, managing a combined $2.9 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasurys.
The demand for real-world asset tokenization continues to climb, with the model allowing for more flexible yield generation than traditional finance systems.
