first_img Franklin Templeton expands tokenized collateral services to Bybit

According to CoinDesk, Franklin Templeton has expanded its "Over-the-Counter Collateral Program" to Bybit, allowing users of the exchange to use their tokenized money market fund shares for cryptocurrency trading. Users can use the shares as collateral to borrow stablecoins USDT or USDC, while the underlying assets continue to generate returns. The relevant shares represent approximately $686 million in net assets.The underlying assets will not be transferred to Bybit but will be held off-chain by the regulated custody platform ByCustody, with their value mirrored in the Bybit trading environment, thereby generating returns while releasing trading liquidity. The shares are issued through the Benji technology platform, which is Franklin Templeton's proprietary blockchain-integrated record-keeping and transfer agency infrastructure, currently paying an annualized return of 3.7% based on the latest 7-day interest rate.This is not Franklin Templeton's first foray into over-the-counter collateral partnerships, as it has previously offered tokenized money market funds to Binance and OKX clients. Sandy Kaul, Head of Digital Assets and Innovation at Franklin Templeton, stated that investors can now use collateral more efficiently across major exchanges and earn returns from it, which is crucial for ecosystem growth. This expansion also reflects industry trends, with platforms like Crypto.com and Deribit allowing qualified users to use BlackRock's BUIDL fund as trading collateral.

GoPlus: Robinhood Chain exposes the Meme coin RUG factory again, with a flow exceeding 9 million USD

The GoPlus security team disclosed that a high-risk fraudulent Meme factory was recently discovered on the Robinhood Chain, with a transaction volume exceeding 9 million dollars in the past 30 days, involving hundreds of fraudulent Memes. The asset aggregation address is 0x8c3Bad30cc7563A2D0357F49509FFd063666bb00. As of September 28, 2026, the address balance is approximately 56.0635 ETH, equivalent to about 148,000 dollars; the address has a total of about 1,385 transactions, with the latest 400 transactions generating approximately 1,728.02 ETH in income and transferring out approximately 1,861.12 ETH; the two-way transaction volume is about 3,589.14 ETH, equivalent to about 9.49 million dollars.Direct evidence of "authorizing or selling tokens ---> liquidating ETH ---> transferring to the same aggregation address" was found in the high-risk associated Memes. The amount is the gross amount transferred into the aggregation system from the same project batch and does not represent net profit. The fraudulent Meme factory model mainly includes "new accounts shipping out ---> layered aggregation ---> fund recycling: 1. Creating Tokens based on industry hotspots; 2. Allocating Tokens to a large number of new EOAs with only 4 to 11 transactions; 3. Selling in segments through PonsV2Helper / UniversalRouter; 4. Emptying ETH to local aggregators or the main aggregation address (0x8c3bad); 5. Providing funds for the next round of projects, new wallets, and trading operations. The key to this fraud model is: 1. Using a large number of new wallets to hide the actual concentration of chips; 2. Segmentally selling by these wallets to create the illusion of multiple independent traders; 3. After the shipment is completed, funds flow into the same aggregation system; 4. Reinvesting the profits from old projects into the next round.On-chain researcher Wazz recently disclosed that a suspected continuous Rug gang initiated at least 53 Robinhood Chain Memes within about two months and extracted approximately 18.43 million dollars from them. Their main tactic is to control most of the token supply using 70 to 200 wallets, then reinvest the profits from the previous round into the next round. This case is similar to the fraudulent model in this case, but there is currently no evidence to indicate that it is the same gang.
