Franklin Templeton Unveils Second-by-Second Yield on Benji - Unchained

Heavyweight asset manager Franklin Templeton on Tuesday launched an intraday yield feature for tokenized assets on its Benji platform

The new yield feature enables investors to accrue yield proportional to the exact time they hold a tokenized security — down to the second — even if the asset is transferred before the day’s end.

It also allows yield to be earned on non-banking days, including weekends and holidays, addressing what Franklin Templeton described as a “century-old inefficiency” in traditional finance, in which yield is typically calculated only at the end of the trading day and distributed monthly.
