Why Franklin Templeton Thinks Crypto Could 10x This Cycle

Franklin Templeton’s Head of Digital Assets and Innovation Sandy Kaul believes crypto could grow into a $20 trillion to $30 trillion market, potentially 10x its previous peak, as Wall Street tokenization collides with the rise of agentic AI.

In this Coinage interview from The Tie’s Out East Summit, Kaul explains why traditional financial institutions are moving investment products and payments onto blockchain rails, how autonomous AI agents could create new demand for cryptocurrencies like ETH and SOL, and why businesses may eventually need to own native tokens simply to operate.

Kaul also discusses Franklin Templeton’s expansion during the crypto downturn, the creation of Franklin Crypto, its ambition to become the leading investment firm in digital assets, and why the crypto market could begin turning before traders’ expected October deadline.

Could tokenization, stablecoins and AI agents power crypto’s next major cycle? And could the current consolidation represent a buying opportunity?
