Singapore, December 4, 2025 – InvestaX is pleased to announce the launch of the Franklin OnChain U.S. Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund on the InvestaX platform, in partnership with Franklin Templeton.
As part of this partnership, InvestaX will support the distribution of the fund, a tokenized money market fund (MMF) structured as a sub-fund under Singapore’s Variable Capital Company (VCC) framework. According to Franklin Templeton, it is the first tokenized fund of its kind registered for retail investors with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
This marks a milestone in expanding access to regulated, tokenized money market instruments for investors in Singapore and across Asia.
What the Fund Offers
The fund combines familiar money market portfolio construction with on-chain settlement infrastructure. It invests in a portfolio of high-quality, USD-denominated short-term debt and money market instruments, including U.S. Treasuries, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and short-term notes issued or guaranteed by sovereigns and eligible financial institutions.
Designed to offer enhanced accessibility, security, and cost efficiency, the fund provides daily liquidity, low duration, and a focus on capital preservation. It is structured to align with the needs of modern portfolios, particularly those managing stablecoin reserves, digital treasury operations, or short-duration fixed income allocations. The product is best suited for investors seeking stable income and capital preservation in USD, with comfort using a tokenized investment structure.
Tokenized Structure
Shares in the fund are recorded via a tokenized register maintained by the transfer agent using a blockchain-integrated system. This approach combines features of traditional recordkeeping with public blockchain functionality, providing greater visibility into holdings, transactional history, and ownership while retaining regulatory oversight.
The current architecture supports token issuance on public blockchain networks. As of this launch, the Stellar network is the primary supported ledger, subject to future expansion.
“The launch of the Franklin OnChain U.S. Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund on InvestaX marks a significant milestone as we continue building infrastructure that connects leading asset managers to on-chain market access,” said Julian Kwan, CEO of InvestaX. “Our partnership with Franklin Templeton shows how tokenization adds real utility by making established and regulated yield strategies more accessible and easier to integrate into today’s portfolios. We’re proud to enable that shift through our licensed platform."
