BNB Chain hosts 61.71% of Benji assets, putting it at the center of digital asset distribution

BNB Chain, a blockchain network, now hosts $1.5 billion of assets on Franklin Templeton’s Benji platform, or 61.71% of the platform’s value distributed across blockchains. That gives BNB Chain a leading role in how the traditional investment firm distributes digital versions of assets, although the share could change if Franklin Templeton shifts value to other blockchains.
BNB Chain now carries $1.5 billion of assets tied to Franklin Templeton’s Benji platform, giving the network 61.71% of the platform’s onchain distributed value.

That is a clear tilt toward BNB Chain inside a tokenization setup that spreads assets across multiple blockchains. The figure matters because it shows where most of the platform’s onchain value is sitting right now, and it puts BNB at the center of that flow.

Franklin Templeton has been one of the more visible traditional finance firms pushing into blockchain-based asset distribution. Benji is the firm’s onchain platform, used to track and distribute tokenized assets across supported networks. With BNB Chain now hosting the largest share, the chain has moved into a leading position in that footprint.

For BNB, the headline is less about price today and more about utility. A large share of a major asset manager’s distributed value on a single chain can draw attention to transaction activity, settlement rails and the chain’s role in institutional tokenization. It also gives traders a concrete metric to watch rather than a vague narrative about adoption.

The remaining value on the Benji platform is still spread across other chains, so the picture can change if Franklin Templeton shifts allocations. That makes the 61.71% share a snapshot, not a permanent tally. Any update from the firm on new support, rebalancing or additional distributions would be the next point to watch.

BNB was the only named asset in the update, and the network’s larger share may keep it on traders’ radar as tokenized funds and onchain distribution keep moving into the mainstream. The key number to monitor from here is whether BNB Chain holds above that $1.5 billion mark or whether Franklin Templeton reallocates more of Benji’s value elsewhere.
