Franklin Templeton expanded its tokenized collateral service to Bybit, letting tokenized money market shares be used as collateral for USDT or USDC trading credit lines while the underlying assets continue to earn yield. The move adds another venue for a service that combines tokenized assets with exchange credit lines.

What it means

Who it affects, what changes and what is still unconfirmed

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

In practice, the setup now includes a tokenized collateral option on Bybit that was not named there before, while the credit line structure itself remains tied to USDT or USDC. The broader trading workflow is still exchange-based financing, but with tokenized money market shares added into it.
