Franklin Templeton and SBI Holdings are joining forces to create a new cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) management company in Japan, marking another significant leap for crypto ETFs. The two firms officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for this joint venture on July 26. 
According to the <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Cryptocurrencies/Franklin-Templeton-and-SBI-team-up-to-bring-bitcoin-ETFs-to-Japan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Nikkei Asia report</a>, a new Japanese asset management firm aims to provide the “new generation of investors” with greater access to diversified investment options.&nbsp;SBI will hold a 51% stake in the new company, with Franklin Templeton owning the remaining 49%. 
Jenny Johnson, President and CEO of Franklin Templeton expressed her excitement, stating, “The extensive reach of SBI’s iconic brand amongst younger audiences in Japan aligns well with our commitment to help this new generation of investors achieve their goals through our future-focused investment solutions. This strategic partnership underscores our shared belief that best-in-class financial capabilities should be more accessible to investors.” 
This venture promises to offer young investors enhanced access to crypto-based ETFs, potentially introducing new capital into the underlying digital assets and contributing to price appreciation.&nbsp; 
The announcement coincides with the <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/07/24/ethereum-etfs-see-1-billion-trading-volume-on-first-day/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">launch of the first spot Ether ETFs</a> in the United States, which began trading on July 23. 
SBI Holdings, a leading financial union in Japan, is keen to further the advancement of Web3 firms through this partnership. 
Yoshitaka Kitao, President and CEO of SBI Holdings, highlighted their dedication to leveraging technology for growth, stating, ”We are proud of being a fast-rising financial group in Japan leveraging technology as one of its key sources of growth, and promoting various businesses related to Web3. We look forward to partnering with Franklin Templeton whose business includes a focus on digital assets and provision of industry-leading digital asset technology.” 
This collaboration is part of a broader trend, with other investment giants also venturing into the Web3 space. Notably, billionaire Michael Novogratz’s Galaxy Asset Management recently raised $113 million for a new crypto venture fund announced on July 25. 
With Franklin Templeton and SBI Holdings at the helm, this new joint venture is set to offer innovative investment opportunities, further bridging the gap between traditional finance and the expansion world of digital assets. 
Franklin Templeton’s new joint venture in Japan opens the door for a potential spot crypto ETF. A spokesperson revealed that the ETF could launch once regulations are in place. The joint venture aims to offer a broad range of investment options, including Franklin Templeton’s current ETFs.&nbsp; 
While Japan’s regulatory framework for digital assets is evolving, the firm is poised to introduce related products, including a possible spot Solana ETF alongside their recent US spot Ether ETF.&nbsp;
