Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) has partnered with US asset manager Franklin Templeton to establish a new fund to boost liquidity in the Gulf state’s emerging stock market.

Franklin Templeton Qatar Equity Fund will start with $200 million in capital, with QIA serving as the fund’s anchor investor, contributing cash and stock. No specific details were given.

The daily-dealing mutual fund will offer an actively managed portfolio of equities listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange to global and local institutions, the companies said in a statement.

QIA CEO Mohammed Saif Al-Sowaidi said the fund’s launch will expand the sovereign’s active asset management initiative to support Qatar’s financial markets.

Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton, said “We see this collaboration as the beginning of a long-term strategic partnership and part of a broader, multi-asset collaboration between Franklin Templeton and QIA.”

Franklin Templeton has $1.68 trillion in assets under management as of December 31, 2025. 

In June, QIA anchored the $200 million Fiera Qatar Equity Strategy fund to support market liquidity and high-risk-adjusted returns by investing in companies listed on the Qatar bourse.

This month, the wealth fund backed a private real estate fund focusing on Singapore’s commercial property market as a founding investor. 

In January, it signed a preliminary agreement with Goldman Sachs, committing $25 billion in investments to US managed funds and co-investment opportunities.

QIA has nearly $580 billion in assets under management, according to Global SWF, a data platform that tracks sovereign wealth funds.

The Qatar stock exchange closed nearly 2 percent higher in 2025 compared with the year before, with market capitalisation rising to QR644 billion.

Anoma launches on Ethereum with governance and token

Anoma launches on Ethereum with governance and token

The post Anoma launches on Ethereum with governance and token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Anoma launched phase one of its mainnet on Ethereum Monday, activating its native XAN token and on-chain governance system. The release kicks off proposal submission and a new two-body governance voting structure. Any user can lock XAN to join the “voter body,” while a governance council — a multisig composed of early contributors — can also propose changes, according to Anoma co-founder Adrian Brink. “Either body can propose an upgrade, which takes at least two weeks to be passed,” Brink told Blockworks. “There’s no special body with superuser rights…The voter body can veto any proposal initiated by the council.” Real decentralization will hinge on initial distribution and turnout. Without broad float and active delegates, early governance is likely to be insider-led even if the council lacks special powers. Vesting tokens are eligible to vote. The treasury contract is deployed but not yet activated. Brink said the goal of this early governance phase is to allow the community to “conduct a proper decentralized launch.” Additional system features — including protocol adapters and third-party app support — will come online through governance decisions over time. Unlike a layer-1 blockchain, Anoma describes itself as an “intent-centric” decentralized operating system. In marketing-speak, it aims “to become Web3’s unified operating system” — running on top of L1s such as Ethereum, Bitcoin and Solana. Users express their intent — for example, a user could express an intent to swap ETH to USDC with a minimum-received threshold, a deadline, and a slippage cap — which solvers match and fulfill across chains. Execution happens on native settlement layers via “protocol adapters” deployed to each chain. Those adapters are live on testnets for Ethereum, Optimism, and Arbitrum, but are not yet available on mainnet. “The protocol adapter has one final audit that needs to be completed,” Brink said. “Then…
