The tokenized Treasury market doubled in 2024, reaching $4B. However, with Fed rate cuts, investors may seek higher yields. Bhaji Illuminati, Centrifuge CMO, shares insights with DL News: "We expect onchain investors, who naturally have a higher risk tolerance, to explore opportunities further up the risk curve. This could mean shifting towards AAA-rated CLOs or private credit deals." Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e6Naq37x

We’re just 7 days away from the deadline for the largest RFP in crypto history—the Spark Tokenization Grand Prix. The visionaries behind this bold move to accelerate DeFi’s mass adoption through RWAs will be joining the RWA Summit to discuss the initiative's origins, the pivotal role of MakerDAO (Sky), and their predictions for the future of DeFi. Hear from: • Rune Christensen | MakerDAO (Sky) • Sam MacPherson | Phoenix Labs • Mark Phillips | Steakhouse Financial Moderated by Jason Yanowitz of Blockworks!

We’ve just submitted our proposal for Sky (MakerDAO)'s Spark Tokenization Grand Prix—a $1B investment in tokenized real-world assets. We're proud to present a collaborative proposal with Anemoy and two market-leading strategic partners, including Janus Henderson Investors, a tier-one asset manager with $360B+ AUM. Here’s what makes our proposal stand out: Liquidity: Our Liquidity Network offers a robust $125M instant redemption facility in USDC and native Dai/USDS, available 24/7/365. Experience: We’re partnering with Janus Henderson Investors—a leading $360B TradFi asset manager—serving as portfolio manager for the proposed Janus Henderson Anemoy 0-3 Month Treasury Fund. Ecosystem Alignment: Centrifuge is committed to growing Dai liquidity and driving demand, aligning perfectly with Sky's long-term goals. Our decentralized, asset-agnostic infrastructure supports any RWA use case. Why Centrifuge? We’ve had successful collaborations in the past, being the first protocol to mint a real-world asset for Maker back in 2021 and collateralizing nearly $600M of Dai since then. Our proposal covers all priorities outlined by Sky and Spark. We’re ready to pioneer the tokenized era together. See the bid: https://lnkd.in/g8awbxDj

We're excited to support Janus Henderson Investors as they take over the management of Anemoy's Liquid Treasury Fund. “I 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,” said Nick Cherney, CFA, 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 Anil Sood and Martin Quensel. Learn more in the Financial Times report below: https://lnkd.in/eSgfe4XJ

We're excited to share that we're partnering with Janus Henderson Investors to serve as a sub-advisor to the Liquid Treasury Fund (LTF). The LTF is a fully onchain, tokenized fund, providing investors with direct access to short-term US Treasury bills. By leveraging Centrifuge's technology to tokenize US Treasury bills, this partnership aims to bring high-quality financial products to more than $170 billion in idle capital onchain.

Exciting news: Centrifuge is a top entity for tokenized Treasuries. We're expanding from our work in private credit, primarily driven by Anemoy's growing Liquid Treasury Fund, making them a top 10 issuer.
