Sandy Kaul said the firm’s buildout will continue regardless of whether the legislation passes, but she expects a major release of institutional money if it does.
Franklin Templeton’s head of digital assets and innovation Sandy Kaul said the company’s digital asset plans are not contingent on the Clarity Act, signaling that its current buildout will continue either way. She added, however, that passage of the legislation could trigger a significant inflow of institutional capital, a sign that market participants see clearer rules as a potential catalyst for broader professional investor participation in crypto markets.
