Stellar, one of the well-established blockchain projects, announced an important collaboration to expand its technology to wider markets. A US-based fund will use Stellar's blockchain network to record transactions and share ownership.
According to the statement made on Stellar's official Twitter account, leading investment holding Franklin Templeton's US money fund DOBXX will also process the data on the Benji Investments platform into the XLM network. Thus, Templeton became the first American mutual fund manager to store data using the open blockchain network.
The DOBXX fund currently manages $270 million in assets. Managers use 99.5% of this amount by investing in cash and government bonds.
In a statement after the agreement, the Stellar team stated that they attach great importance to the integration of traditional finance and blockchain technology.
