<h2 id="from-48-million-shares-to-192-7-million-in-two-batches">From 48 million shares to 192.7 million in two batches</h2>
<p>About 48 million sgBENJI shares sat on XRPL before the issuance. Two batches of roughly 72.18 million shares followed at 02:58 and 04:13 UTC, each matched to its <a href="https://xrpscan.com/tx/C78D6A062C50F01ECA22875D250A73A2B3AA3787A09B567E7183D4CABB150A3D" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">subscription receipt</a> and priced at $1.039.</p>

Two other addresses are authorized to hold the token and carry zero balances.</p>
<p>Against the fund as a whole, the new money is large.

 <p style="margin: 10px 0 0; font-size: 14px; opacity: 0.8;">The estimate assumes no other subscriptions or redemptions since September 30. Flows on other networks would not show on XRPL.</p>

<p>CoinDesk reported that Franklin now ranks second among XRPL tokenized-asset issuers on RWA.xyz, behind Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin at about $930 million and ahead of Ondo at $185 million. As with <a href="https://coindoo.com/xrpl-ranks-6th-for-tokenized-asset-value-what-the-number-misses/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRPL’s wider tokenized-asset totals</a>, the ranking reflects recorded value, and in Franklin’s case a single wallet supplies all of it.</p>
<h2 id="one-set-of-keys-on-both-sides-of-the-issuance">One set of keys on both sides of the issuance</h2>
<p>The funded wallet and Franklin’s issuing account list the same eight signing addresses, and any two of them can approve a transaction, according to CoinDesk. The keyholders who issue sgBENJI on XRPL can therefore also move the shares they issued.</p>
<p>Two arrangements fit that pattern. Franklin or its transfer agent could run the wallet for many clients and track each stake off the chain, a common setup among brokers and custodians. The wallet could also belong to one large investor whose account Franklin operates.</p>
<p>The fund’s register is designed in two layers. A <a href="https://www.mas.gov.sg/-/media/mas-media-library/development/fintech/guardian/project-guardian-operationalising-tokenised-funds.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Project Guardian industry report hosted by the Monetary Authority of Singapore</a> describes sgBENJI tokens as evidence of fund shares, with shareholder identities kept in internal systems linked to the blockchain entries. Franklin also controls access to the token: holding sgBENJI on XRPL requires its approval, and the token’s settings let the issuer freeze balances and recover shares.</p>
<p>CoinDesk asked Franklin whether the wallet is an omnibus account, how many investors funded the subscriptions and whether they will receive shares in separate addresses. Franklin had not responded by Saturday morning in Asia.</p>

<h2 id="the-yield-case-and-the-dbs-trading-plan">The yield case and the DBS trading plan</h2>
<p>The shares belong to the Singapore-domiciled Franklin OnChain U.S. Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund, which holds short-term dollar debt such as government paper, commercial paper and bank deposits. Returns build up in the share price. The factsheet shows a 3.57% one-year return after fees, a 0.20% expense ratio and a $1.04 net asset value for the A (acc) USD class, consistent with the October 22 price. The fund does not buy XRP.</p>
<p>Franklin, DBS and Ripple also set out a trading use for the shares. In a <a href="https://www.dbs.com/newsroom/DBS_and_Franklin_Templeton_to_launch_trading_and_lending_solutions_powered_by_tokenised_money_market_funds_and_Ripples_RLUSD_stablecoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">September 2025 agreement</a>, DBS Digital Exchange said it would list sgBENJI alongside RLUSD so eligible clients could swap between the two around the clock. DBS added that it would explore letting clients pledge the shares as collateral, through repo deals with the bank or loans from third-party platforms.</p>
<p>The ledger data fits either a trading or a holding explanation. A venue offering fast swaps would need shares on hand, and a large block in a Franklin-administered wallet could serve that role. One or a few institutions could also have bought $150 million of a dollar money fund for its yield, with no plan to trade it. Because swaps on an exchange’s internal books need not appear as XRPL transfers, a wallet with no outgoing movement fits both readings.</p>

<p>Under Franklin’s September 2026 <a href="https://www.franklintempleton.com.sg/download/en-sg/product-highlights-sheet/02ca723d-8616-488d-80a4-eb60705742dd/PHS_41715_en_SG.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Product Highlights Sheet</a>, the seven-day window starts once a request is received and accepted, and requests that miss the cutoff generally roll to the next dealing day.</p>
<p>The daily cap matters because of how concentrated the XRPL position is. If the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">wallet</a>’s shares sit in a class close to the fund’s total size, a full redemption would exceed one day’s limit many times over, and the fund could spread the payout across many dealing days. The cap is discretionary, and there is no sign it has been used.</p>
