Job Brief

We are expanding our focus to cover AI-augmented threat intelligence and post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) security. The ideal candidate will combine deep blockchain forensics expertise with working knowledge of machine learning techniques for anomaly detection, and awareness of quantum computing threats to current cryptographic foundations (ECDSA, RSA) used across blockchain ecosystems. We value candidates who can bridge academia and industry and build collaborative relationships with research institutions to accelerate the adoption of emerging cryptographic and AI-driven techniques within the company.
 

Main Responsibilities of a Blockchain Risk Control Analyst/Researcher

Your main responsibilities will include:
  • Leveraging LLM techniques to drive the development of next-generation on-chain risk identification and threat intelligence systems, including autonomous agent workflows capable of continuous monitoring, self-triggered investigation, and automated operational responses — reducing manual intervention across the full risk lifecycle from detection to resolution;
  • Leading forensic investigations on real crypto theft, fraud, and market manipulation cases, integrating AI-assisted pattern recognition to accelerate root cause analysis;
  • Researching post-quantum cryptographic algorithms (NIST PQC: ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, FALCON) and their implications for blockchain security; assessing quantum computing threats to existing cryptographic foundations (ECDSA secp256k1, hash functions) and evaluating migration paths;
  • Partnering with internal teams and external stakeholders for incident response, and engaging with academic institutions to translate frontier research into deployable security tools;
 

Key Requirements

  • You have a Master's or PhD's degree in Blockchain security, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.
  • You are good at programming languages commonly used in blockchain analytics (e.g., SQL, Python, Javascript)
  • Experience applying machine learning or AI techniques to blockchain data analysis, fraud detection, or threat intelligence
  • A strong publication record in top-level industry or academic conferences is highly valued.
  • You have experience with blockchain monitoring/forensic tools and analytics platforms.
  • Familiarity with NIST PQC standards (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, FALCON) and lattice/hash-based cryptography fundamentals is a plus;
  • Understanding of quantum computing threats to elliptic curve cryptography and implications for key management in Web3;
  • You have security or risk control experience as a plus.
  • You possess effective communication and collaboration abilities.
  • English is essential, and proficiency in Mandarin can be an advantage.

Tokenized Fund Collateral Could Be A Game Changer For Franklin Templeton Stock

Tokenized Fund Collateral Could Be A Game Changer For Franklin Templeton Stock

Franklin Templeton has expanded its digital asset strategy through a new partnership with the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, allowing the use of tokenized fund collateral. This collaboration integrates Franklin Templeton’s Benji tokenized money market fund directly into an active trading venue, marking a shift from simple wallet listings to operational on-chain collateral management. While the firm currently manages approximately $3.2 billion in digital asset AUM, this initiative serves as a test for the scalability of digital rails in lowering distribution costs. The move is viewed as a strategic experiment to determine if tokenized assets can effectively serve as margin collateral within high-frequency trading environments. Despite the innovation, analysts suggest the immediate impact on Franklin Templeton’s earnings remains limited compared to broader pressures on fees and net flows. Success hinges on the firm's ability to maintain rigorous risk control and custody standards via ByCustody while scaling its tokenized product suite. Ultimately, the initiative highlights the ongoing institutional effort to bridge traditional financial products with decentralized trading infrastructure.

Next Shiba Inu Search Heats Up as Franklin Templeton Puts $686M On-Chain and Pepeto Goes Live

Franklin Templeton has expanded its institutional crypto integration by enabling $686 million in tokenized money market fund shares to be used as trading collateral on the Bybit exchange. This initiative, launched on September 28, allows investors to pledge tokenized fund shares via ByCustody while continuing to earn yield on their underlying assets. By integrating these shares into major exchanges like Bybit, Binance, and OKX, the $1.83 trillion asset manager is bridging traditional finance with digital asset liquidity. This development signifies a shift where institutional capital seeks to maintain core holdings while gaining exposure to crypto markets without liquidating positions. While the article contrasts this institutional progress with speculative retail tokens, the core event highlights the growing utility of tokenized U.S. Treasury-backed funds in decentralized finance. The ability to use regulated, yield-bearing assets as collateral on centralized exchanges marks a maturing phase for the RWA sector. This trend underscores how traditional financial giants are increasingly treating blockchain rails as standard infrastructure for capital efficiency.

Crypto-friendly institution Franklin Templeton brings its tokenized collateral service to Bybit

Franklin Templeton has expanded its off-exchange collateral program to the Bybit exchange, enabling users to utilize shares of its tokenized money market fund as collateral for crypto trading. This integration allows investors to borrow stablecoins like USDT and USDC while continuing to earn yield on their underlying assets, which currently represent approximately $686 million in net assets. The mechanism relies on ByCustody to hold the assets off-exchange, while the value is mirrored within the Bybit trading environment to unlock liquidity without requiring asset movement. This development marks another milestone in Franklin Templeton's strategy to integrate its Benji-issued tokenized funds across major crypto exchanges, following similar partnerships with Binance and OKX. By allowing investors to optimize collateral usage while maintaining yield exposure, the firm aims to bridge traditional asset management with the crypto ecosystem. This trend reflects a broader industry shift toward using regulated, tokenized money market funds as high-quality collateral for derivatives and spot trading. The initiative highlights the growing utility of blockchain-integrated record-keeping platforms in professionalizing crypto market infrastructure.
