<h2 id="exciting-milestone-reached-by-stellar-network">Exciting Milestone Reached by Stellar Network</h2>
<p>The first registered U.S. fund on the <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/stellar-moneygram-and-unhcr-partner-to-revolutionize-cash-aid-for-refugees-in-10-trillion-market/">Stellar network</a>, OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund from Franklin Templeton, has achieved a new milestone. The fund has surpassed $270 million in assets under management (AUM). This development is crucial because it highlights the potential for greater interoperability in the financial system by reflecting a significant integration between blockchain technology and traditional financial institutions.</p>
<h2 id="interoperability-in-the-financial-system">Interoperability in the Financial System</h2>
<p>The integration between blockchain technology and traditional financial institutions shows that the two can work together to create an interoperable financial system. The on-chain U.S. Government Money Fund from Franklin Templeton is a 1940 Act fund that invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, government securities, and repurchase agreements collateralized fully by government securities or cash.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/stellar-aid-assist-the-crypto-payment-app-providing-mass-aid-in-the-ukraine-war/">announcement</a> of this fund on the Stellar network indicates that blockchain technology has a promising future in traditional finance, which can make transactions more efficient, secure and cost-effective.</p>
<h2 id="stellar-enabled-digital-wallet-integration">Stellar-Enabled Digital Wallet Integration</h2>
<p>Earlier in the month, Decaf, a Stellar-enabled digital wallet, announced an integration with the global on/off-ramp service for digital wallets powered by MoneyGram and the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF). Through this integration, Decaf users can transition between cash and <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/xlm-tempo-france-and-ntokens-launch-stellar-based-remittances-to-brazil/">digital currency</a>. This integration will enable users to send money instantly to anyone in the world, and it will help to expand the reach of digital wallets in traditional finance.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the launch of the first U.S.-registered mutual fund on the public blockchain is a significant milestone for Stellar and the entire blockchain industry. This development reflects a considerable integration between blockchain technology and traditional financial institutions, which is crucial for the creation of a more interoperable financial system.</p>
