Centrifuge Brings Institutional Assets On-Chain with Arc Launch

Centrifuge has launched three institutional investment funds on the Arc blockchain. The move brings real-world assets from Janus Henderson and New York Life Investment Management into the decentralized finance ecosystem.

The tokenized vehicles, JAAA, JTRSY, and HYB, are backed by portfolios that include U.S. Treasury debt instruments and corporate private credit segments.

Direct participation in these on-chain vehicles is restricted to non-U.S. professional investors due to regulatory compliance boundaries.

The deployment addresses the demand for real-yield instruments within decentralized finance. Market reports indicate asset managers seek to temper native cryptocurrency volatility by allocating towards sovereign and corporate debt instruments.
