Franklin Templeton just put tokenized ETFs on-chain.

$1.5 trillion AUM. Not a startup. Not a whitepaper. A 75-year-old asset manager that survived every market cycle since 1947.
Here's what nobody's saying:
This isn't about crypto. It's about settlement.
Traditional ETFs settle in T+1 or T+2. Tokenized ETFs settle instantly, 24/7, with programmable compliance baked in at the asset layer.
For institutions, that's not a nice-to-have. That's billions in freed-up collateral.
When the oldest money in the room stops watching and starts building.
That's the signal.
