The investment giant Franklin Templeton says it is actively monitoring five areas of the Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) ecosystem.<\/p>\n The asset management firm says<\/a> it is enthusiastic about Bitcoin developments following the approval of BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) earlier this year.<\/p>\n In particular, Franklin Templeton is monitoring Bitcoin layer-2s, restaking\/native yield primitives, ordinals, decentralized finance (DeFi)\/runes and BTC\u2019s OP_CAT proposal.<\/p>\n Bitcoin ordinals allow users to inscribe digital data such as images and videos to a single satoshi, or an individual unit of BTC, to create the equivalent of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Bitcoin network.<\/p>\n Runes is a protocol that aims to make creating fungible tokens on Bitcoin more efficient.<\/p>\n OP_CAT is a scripting feature that BTC\u2019s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, spiked back in 2010. A Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) proposes bringing the feature back, according to the crypto exchange OKX.<\/p>\n Explains<\/a> OKX,<\/p>\n \u201cOP_CAT is a Bitcoin feature that expands its scripting abilities. It combines data into a single output \u2014 a process in programming known as concatenation \u2014 making transactions simpler and allowing for the development of complex smart contracts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Franklin Templeton also says it\u2019s monitoring<\/a> the Ethereum (ETH<\/a>) ecosystem.<\/p>\n \u201cInvesting in ETH represents ownership in the Ethereum blockchain, the largest decentralized ecosystem. We are seeing continued innovation across the modular stack. Areas we are excited about include:<\/em><\/p>\n \u00b7 Parallel Execution<\/em> Parallel execution is a feature where the network can process multiple transactions at once. It aims to help with scaling, according to CoinGecko<\/a>.<\/p>\n Data availability refers to \u201cthe confidence a user can have that the data required to verify a block is really available to all network participants,\u201d according to Ethereum.org<\/a>. The rollup deployment platform Caldera<\/a> notes that alternative data availability means there\u2019s a separate layer where blockchains can maintain access to relevant data.<\/p>\n \u201cBlobs\u201d are dedicated data storage spaces designed to reduce transaction fees, according to Etherscan<\/a>.<\/p>\n Don’t Miss a Beat \u2013 Subscribe<\/a> to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox <\/span><\/em>  <\/p>\n Generated Image: DALLE3<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The investment giant Franklin Templeton says it is actively monitoring five areas of the Bitcoin (BTC) ecosystem.
