One of the world’s largest independent asset managers, Franklin Templeton, is accepting applications for fresh mid-senior level positions in crypto trading and research, according to Linkedin job listings.

Meanwhile, in Japan, financial conglomerate SBI Holdings is planning to set up one of the first crypto funds in the country by the end of November. Tomoya Asakura, the director and senior managing executive officer at SBI, said that the company would explore the launch of a second fund should the first be a success.

While crypto traders are cheering the recent run-up in several altcoins, JPMorgan analysts have warned their clients that the altcoin rally and nonfungible tokens (NFT) are getting frothy.

The analysts said that the altcoins share of crypto market trading surged from 22% at the beginning of August to 33%, which is high compared to historical standards. They believe the reason is “froth and retail investor 'mania' rather than a reflection of a structural uptrend.”
