Tokenized real-world assets serve an integral role as liquidity enters #DeFi from TradFi ๐ค
@centrifuge is blazing the trail for the future of tokenization and a pioneer in #RWA DeFi ๐ฅ๐ $CFG
Today weโre expanding our support for @HyperliquidX by becoming the platformโs official treasury deployer of USDC.
Onchain markets operate 24/7 and require collateral that is always available, instantly transferable, and deeply liquid - USDC delivers exactly that.
Alongside this, weโve also significantly increased our position of staked HYPE.
Breaking! The S&P 500 is going onchain.
Centrifuge partners with @SPDJIndices to launch Proof-of-Index Infrastructure.
โ Based on S&P DJIโs official daily index files
โ Enables programmable, compliant index-tracking funds
โ Built for seamless integration with DeFi and institutional capital markets
The first tokenized S&P 500 Index Fund:
The Janus Henderson Anemoy S&P 500 Index Fund Segregated Portfolio
Powered by Proof-of-Index. Built on Centrifuge. Created by @anemoycapital and @JHIAdvisors
Meet deRWA: a unique wrapper that creates freely transferable RWA tokens, purpose-built for DeFi.
RWAs that move with the market.
Loop. Swap. Save. Trade.
This is how institutional-grade assets unlock real onchain utility.
From collateral in lending protocols to yield in retail apps, deRWA brings assets to where the liquidity lives.
First integrations coming soon.

Building tokenized products used to be slow, complex, and over-engineered. Today, that changes.
Introducing the RWA Launchpad: a fully modular, institutional-grade suite of smart contracts to launch any real-world asset product โ fast.
Customize and deploy:
- Tokenized assets, any type
- Access controls of your choice
- Issuance structures that fit your vision
- Onchain operations, ready to plug and play
Built on Centrifuge V3, the RWA Launchpad distills 8 years of building, testing, and scaling real-world asset infrastructure.
We didnโt join the tokenization wave โ we were there from the start, so you could build on tech thatโs already proven.
Enterprise-grade. Battle-tested. Ready for builders.

7 years after pioneering RWA tokenization, @centrifuge storms back as a WINNER in the $1B @sparkfinance Tokenization Grand Prix, securing $200M.
This is a f***ing rocket boost for a team thatโs been grinding for years. Now? Itโs their time to reclaim RWA dominance.
They made RWAs a thing before DeFi even caught on.
Grand Prix Highlights
โ Selected From: 39 applicants, down to 3 winners.
โ 6 months of evaluation by SteakhouseFi, Spark, and Sky Ecosystem
โ $1B+ in capital to allocate, with $200M to Centrifuge
This win ties into a journey that started years ago.
1๏ธโฃ Centrifuge's Journey: From 2017 to $200M
In 2017, co-founders @lucasvo & @mr_optimax began tokenizing RWAs on Blockchain. To date, theyโve tokenized 1,641 assets and financed $686M in assets.
Milestone Timeline โ
โข 2019: Tinlake launched on @ethereum, Centrifugeโs first app for tokenizing assets.
โข 2020: Centrifuge Chain launched on @Polkadot, financing $90M in invoices by 2021.
โข 2021: Landed first MakerDAO RWA loan, minting $4.5M in DAI.
โข 2022: Sealed $220M deal with BlockTower & MakerDAO, expanding reach.
โข 2023: Centrifuge Prime and RWA Summit pushed loans to $400M.
Each milestone has built toward this recent $200M win
2๏ธโฃ Beating the Competition
That six-month review wasnโt a cakewalkโSteakhouseFi and the crew dug into everything: pricing, liquidity, tech.
Beating 36 competitors and standing next to industry titans like @BlackRock@superstatefunds proves Centrifugeโs leadership in the RWA space.
3๏ธโฃ The Winning Formula
So howโd they pull this off? Itโs a three-part plan thatโs been cooking for years.
1. Centrifuge Chain: A purpose-built blockchain for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) offering fast finality, cross-chain interoperability, and a secure foundation for large-scale financial operations.
2. Anemoy & JTRSY Fund: Centrifugeโs asset management arm runs JTRSY, a live fund with $150M in tokenized U.S. Treasuries, delivering 4.8% yield, 24/7 liquidity, and top-tier credit ratings (AA+f/Aa).
3. Janus Henderson Partnership: With $379B AUM, Janus Henderson adds institutional credibility, manages JTRSY investments, and supports Centrifugeโs goal to reach $1.5B in tokenized assets by 2026.
4๏ธโฃ Enter Centrifuge 2.0: Whatโs Next?
This win kicks off Centrifuge 2.0 with fresh upgrades.
โข New Leadership: Bhaji Illuminati (CEO) and Anil Sood (CSO) joined February 2025.
โข EVM Compatibility: V3 syncs with Ethereumโs $60B DeFi ecosystem.
โข Deep Relationship with Janus: Strengthened ties with Janus Henderson ($379B AUM)โbig players are in their corner.
5๏ธโฃ Future Outlook
RWAs could hit $16T by 2030, and Centrifuge is in the game.
With the $200M win fueling their platform, theyโre set to capture a bigger slice of the growing RWA market.
Winning a competitive allocation establishes Centrifuge as a leader in RWA, attracting institutional partners and strengthening the ecosystem and $CFG's potential.
๐ We are WINNERS in the $1B @sparkfinance Tokenization Grand Prix! ๐
The Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund (JTRSY), powered by Centrifuge, has been named a winner in the most competitive RWA RFP in history.
> 39 applicants โ 3 winners
> $1B+ in capital to allocate, with $200M to Centrifuge
> Setting the new standard for liquidity, transparency, and composability
New governance proposal CP141: Development of Centrifuge V3, a multi-chain, EVM based protocol
This proposal seeks governance approval to initiate the development of Centrifuge V3, an EVM-based protocol, to drive the next phase of growth for the RWA market. Built as a multi-chain system, this next-generation protocol will introduce features such as chain abstraction, modularity for diverse assets and investors, and enhanced composability with DeFi.
We're thrilled to support Janus Henderson as they take over the management of @anemoycapital's Liquid Treasury Fund.
โI think this is as disruptive, probably more disruptive, than ETFs. There is a significant probability that decentralised blockchain technology does to ETFs what ETFs have done to mutual funds,โ said Nick Cherney, head of innovation at Janus Henderson.
Anemoy is a web3 native asset manager powered by Centrifuge. Anemoy was established with a clear mission: to advance Centrifuge's efforts in developing RWA products tailored specifically for bridging the TradFi and DeFi worlds. This is an incredible step in realizing that mission. Congrats @AnemoyAnil and @mr_optimax.

Tokenization is transforming private credit by automating complex, typically cumbersome processes.
The benefits? Enhanced efficiency, reduced risk, and increased transparency.
Incorporating smart contracts in finance could:
โข Shorten margin cycles
โข Reduce collateral requirements
โข Lower credit line utilization
โข Lower capital costs
All leading to increased liquidity for private credit assets.
However, the legal enforceability of smart contracts is still limited.
Onchain private credit activity is expected to surge once legal advancements clarify the relationship between tokenized assets and offchain enforceability, as outlined in a recent @moodysratings report on tokenized private credit.
As a leader in private credit, this is in our DNA. We're primed for regulatory clarity and the resulting increased supply of issuers looking to come onchain.

We believe we're reaching an inflection point in institutional adoption and are excited to double down with the Centrifuge team." - Ben Forman, @paraficapital.
"We firmly believe that Centrifuge is poised to claim significant portions of this market. Having pioneered their category, the team demonstrates unwavering resilience through many years of commitment across several market cycles. Their expertise in navigating the intricacies of integrating real-world assets into decentralized finance is unparalleled." - @felix_macht, @greenfield_cap.
We're grateful for Centrifuge's supporters who share our vision of a better financial system onchain. As we move forward, we're more enthusiastic than ever about creating a more efficient, fair, and inclusive financial system. ๐
Q: What do Anemoy's Liquid Treasury Fund on @Centrifuge and @Blackrock's BUIDL Fund have in common?
A: We both use the same legal set up to bring tokenized Treasury bills onchain: A fund registered with the British Virgin Islands FSC.
We started @centrifuge with the audacious dream of making finance accessible to all. This led us to us inventing structured products onchain, the first tokenized products used in DeFi, and many other first; Whatโs next? Our Onchain Fund Management Platform
