Investors Quietly Swapping Their Cash for XRP Before the 2026 Liquidity Event

Barron sits down with Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, to dissect the seismic shift happening in the global financial system. As trust in traditional institutions wavers, the world’s most forward-thinking asset managers are no longer just "watching" blockchain—they are building on it. This isn’t just a conversation about technology; it’s a roadmap for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) as it transitions into its "Institutional Breakout Phase." With over $1.6 trillion in assets under management, Franklin Templeton isn't just participating in the crypto revolution—they are leading the charge by positioning XRP as a cornerstone of the new Internet of Value.
