✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan and David unpacking the episode: https://bankless.com/debrief-franklin-templeton  Franklin Templeton Has Entered the Chat. More broadly TradFi has entered the chat. Franklin Templeton is a TradFi company with $1.5 trillion in assets. We brought on their SVP Sandy Kaul, who is a turbo crypto bull.  What’s Franklin Templeton? It’s an investment management company (think mutual funds, ETFs) that manages over $1.5 Trillion in assets. This is what we in crypto affectionately refer to as TradFi and they recently came out with a BTC ETF and have big plans for future tokenization. They also seem to be incredibly bullish on crypto and this new intersection between crypto and TradFi. This is exactly what we wanted to explore with Sandy today. ------ 🏹 dYdX | STAKING https://bankless.cc/dYdX-staking-podcast   ------ Listen On Your Favorite Podcast Player:  https://bankless.cc/Podcast    ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2    ⁠   🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON https://bankless.cc/Celo    🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION https://bankless.cc/toku    🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle    💸 CRYPTO TAX CALCULATOR | USE CODE BANK30 https://bankless.cc/CTC  🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE https://bankless.cc/uniswap   ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 7:18 Explaining Crypto to TradFi  13:45 Why TradFi Waited  21:58 Explaining Tokens & Franklin Templeton’s Future Use  31:55 The Chameleon Asset  39:30 What’s Preventing Franklin Templeton? 46:27 Advice For Founders 48:37 Regulation Vibe Check 54:30 Countering Crypto Critiques  1:00:00 BTC & ETH ETF 1:12:16 Under or Over-Rated 1:15:00 Sandy’s Crypto Story 1:17:30 Franklin Templeton’s Twitter  1:19:20 Closing & Disclosures ------ RESOURCES Franklin Templeton’s Twitter  https://twitter.com/FTI_US   Sandy Kaul https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandy-kaul-8571877/   ------ Not financial or tax advice.
