Franklin Templeton launches ‘intraday yield’ for tokenized assets on Benji

Yield for assets is often calculated over at least one-day periods, a problem that blockchain composability could address, according to the asset manager.

Franklin Templeton, an investment management company with $1.53 trillion in assets under management, has debuted a feature that offers investors yield down to the second when holding tokenized assets.

According to a Tuesday announcement, the “Intraday Yield” feature will allow investors to accrue yield proportional to the time they hold a tokenized security, even if it’s transferred before the day’s end. In addition, investors can earn yield on non-banking days, including holidays and weekends.
