How Blockchain Is Transforming Wall Street | Mike Reed Interview
In this episode, we sit down with Mike Reed from Franklin Templeton to unpack how one of the world’s largest asset managers is approaching blockchain, tokenisation, and the future of financial markets.
From early Bitcoin curiosity to launching on-chain money market funds, Mike explains how tokenisation is driving massive cost efficiencies, enabling real-time settlement, and unlocking entirely new product features like intraday yield. The conversation dives into how traditional finance is adapting, the role of regulators, and why the next 5–10 years will reshape global financial infrastructure.
We also explore tokenised ETFs, 24/7 markets, stablecoins vs money funds, and what it will take for blockchain-native finance to go mainstream.
