Franklin Templeton Partners with Finstreet and ADI Foundation to Explore Tokenized Assets in ADGM

Franklin Templeton,  one of the world’s largest asset management firms, has signed separate but parallel Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with Finstreet Limited  and ADI DLT Foundation.  The agreements aim to explore innovative digital asset solutions under the Abu Dhabi Global Market’s (ADGM) regulatory framework and contribute to the development of a cutting-edge securities ecosystem in the region.

The MOUs outline a commitment to leverage the strengths of each organization to develop, distribute, and engage markets for tokenized assets within ADGM. The partnerships will focus on enhancing access to regional and international markets, fostering innovation in digital finance, and supporting the adoption of tokenized formats and stablecoins. The collaboration will also involve joint research, market development, educational initiatives, and exploration of emerging digital distribution and market access models.

By combining Franklin Templeton’s global investment expertise with Finstreet’s Abu Dhabi-based regulated market infrastructure and ADI Foundation’s blockchain capabilities, the partnership seeks to create synergies that advance the digital asset ecosystem. The initiative is expected to improve transparency, efficiency, and trust in financial markets while expanding opportunities for investors to access innovative investment solutions.

This collaboration reinforces ADGM’s position as a leading financial hub for digital finance and tokenized assets, supporting the region’s ambition to become a global center for compliant and scalable financial innovation.
