Franklin Templeton and Unblock have been announced as presenting partners for the upcoming CV Summit 2025, set to take place in Zurich, Switzerland. This partnership underscores the convergence of institutional finance and blockchain innovation, signaling a new era in global finance.

Franklin Templeton, one of the world’s largest asset managers with over $1.6 trillion in assets under management, has been at the forefront of blockchain integration. The company’s Benji® Technology Platform powers tokenized mutual funds, intraday yield, and instant settlement across nine public blockchains. Live products are currently available in the USA, Luxembourg, and Singapore, with global scaling for both institutional and retail use. Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, stated, "We’ve been building blockchain-integrated solutions since 2017. Our presence at CV Summit reflects our belief that tokenized products, composable infrastructure, and tools like intraday yield are the future of finance." [1]

Complementing Franklin Templeton’s institutional leadership, Unblock is a rising infrastructure layer for digital consumer and merchant payments. Founded by fintech veteran Oscar Flores and former Visa executive Jonathan Palacios, Unblock enables users to receive salaries, spend with crypto cards, and remit globally. The company’s focus on stablecoins and frictionless, compliant digital payment infrastructure positions it as a key player in making blockchain technology more accessible and user-friendly. Oscar Flores, CEO of Unblock, said, "Stablecoins are at the core of the shift to a more useful, user-friendly financial future. We’re not just building new rails, we’re making blockchain invisible, but indispensable." [1]
