Investment giant backs ETH and SOL after Bitcoin ETF launch

Franklin Templeton is a global investment firm that recently launched one of the new Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. Notably, the company added laser eyes in its profile picture, demonstrating full support and commitment to Bitcoin (BTC).

However, further actions raised criticism of the tribe called Bitcoin maximalists, who first started using the laser-eyes meme. This happened after the giant showed enthusiasm with Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) in a recent series of posts on X (formerly Twitter).

Moreover, Franklin Templeton also mentioned a “massive potential” for other layer-1 blockchains besides Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Mentioning they would be monitoring and supporting these networks as they “grow and mature.”

In conclusion, the investment giant has clarified that it will hold no bias toward a specific cryptocurrency. Franklin Templeton seeks real use cases and exponential growth in projects that solve problems, improving economics and user experiences.
