Ep. 745 What Institutions Want Next with Franklin Templeton’s Crypto CIO

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Seth Ginns, CIO of Franklin Crypto, joins from the Out East Summit to explain why Franklin Templeton believes traditional finance and crypto are finally converging. He shares how his background in public equities and crypto investing led him from CoinFund to Franklin, where the goal is to build institutional-grade crypto strategies for sovereign wealth funds, pensions, endowments, insurance companies, family offices, and other sophisticated allocators. Seth also explains why Ethereum’s Lindy effect, stablecoins, RWAs, market infrastructure, payments, AI plus crypto, and tokenization could define the next phase of institutional crypto adoption.
