Franklin CEO: The Cryptocurrency Space's New Business Model Will Disrupt Traditional Finance and Give Rise to Great Companies

BlockBeats News, November 3rd, Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson stated at Hong Kong Fintechweek 2025 that the crypto world and the traditional financial world were previously two large parallel universes, both substantial in size but with almost no overlap. Like two parallel lines moving forward, suddenly the situation changed, with the traditional financial world awakening and integrating with the crypto world, putting financial products on the chain, and customers also starting to strongly demand exposure to crypto assets.

For millennials, Bitcoin is like their gold. I think Bitcoin itself is an asset, even a bit like a religion—either you believe, or you don't. Franklin is paying attention to what's happening in the crypto world because disruption is coming not only from traditional business competitors but also potentially from the crypto world. Many new business models will emerge in the crypto space, and I believe the next great companies will emerge from this space—alongside AI companies.
