Franklin Templeton Enters the Tokenized Finance Arena in Hong Kong

Franklin Templeton is taking a bold step into the future by launching its first tokenized money market fund in Hong Kong. This fund, named "Franklin OnChain US Government Money Fund," is backed by short-term U.S. Treasury bonds and utilizes blockchain technology to issue shares and record ownership. This project is part of the "Fintech 2030" plan launched by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), which aims to promote innovation in financial technology, including artificial intelligence (AI) and tokenized finance applications.

Robinhood Reports Strong Growth in Crypto Revenue

Despite the volatile performance of the cryptocurrency market, Robinhood announced a significant increase in cryptocurrency trading revenue during the third quarter of the year. Revenue increased by 300% to $268 million, although it still fell short of analysts' expectations. In addition, the company announced a change in the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with Jason Warnick stepping down in the first quarter of 2026 and Shiv Verma replacing him.

Apple Explores Collaboration with Google in AI

Apple is exploring the possibility of collaborating with Google to leverage the Gemini large language model (LLM) to improve Siri's functionality. According to reports, Apple may pay approximately $1 billion annually to integrate the customized Gemini model, which contains 1.2 trillion parameters, into Siri's summarization and planning functions. The new version of Siri is expected to be released in the spring of next year. However, some functions will still operate using models developed internally by Apple.

Global NFT Market Slumps

The global NFT market is experiencing a notable decline in market capitalization. The total market capitalization of NFTs has decreased by 45% in just one month, according to CoinGecko data. Despite an increase in sales volume in October, the market is still suffering from a state of stagnation. Even the most popular collections, such as CryptoPunks and Moonbirds, have seen a decline in trading volume and prices.

Significant Movements in the Crypto Market

The cryptocurrency market has witnessed some interesting movements, including Bitmine's purchase of a significant amount of Ethereum (ETH) worth approximately $70 million. In addition, Ripple announced that it had received a strategic investment of $500 million, bringing the company's valuation to $40 billion. Kazakhstan is also considering investing part of its gold and foreign exchange reserves in cryptocurrencies.
