BlockBeats News, November 6th, according to TheBlock report, Franklin Templeton announced the launch of Hong Kong's first tokenized fund, in sync with the Hong Kong government's five-year fintech strategy announced this week, aiming to embed artificial intelligence and blockchain technology across the entire financial industry.
