Johnson’s Crypto Holdings

According to a recent interview with Fortune, Johnson holds positions in:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ether (ETH)
  • Uniswap (UNI)
  • SushiSwap (SUSHI)

Johnson cited the projects’ potential for financial returns as her rationale for investing. She does not appear interested in NFTs, stating they do not all make sense from an investment perspective.

Thoughts on a Bitcoin ETF

Franklin Templeton has applied to launch a spot bitcoin ETF, but no firm has yet been approved. Asked about the potential timeline, Johnson said regulators are still evaluating the best approach. She believes a spot bitcoin ETF is needed to meet investor demand and is a better way to get exposure than existing options.

Blockchain’s Potential to Democratize Finance

Johnson and Franklin Templeton see significant potential in blockchain technology and crypto assets. Johnson highlighted the ability to reduce transaction friction and costs, making it easier to securitize and fractionalize assets. This could expand access and help democratize private markets.
