Centrifuge

New governance proposal CP141: Development of Centrifuge V3, a multi-chain, EVM based protocol. Since founding in 2017, Centrifuge has been a pioneer in RWAs, setting the standards and benchmark for innovation and institutional sophistication. As the market has evolved, so has Centrifuge. The new protocol will enable modular, interoperable ecosystems for tokenization, asset management and distribution, creating a streamlined experience for institutional users while leveraging the EVM's unparalleled network effects. 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. Key Features: ⚫ Chain Abstraction Layer: Asset managers can choose their preferred chain for managing their fund. From one chain, they aggregate liquidity from any EVM network. ⚫ Modular Fund Infrastructure: Built to allow asset managers to plug-and-play any fund structure and tokenized asset type. From T-bills, to the wider fixed income market, to equities, on-chain assets, private credit and beyond. ⚫ Synchronous Asset Composability: The new protocol enables seamless integration of tokenized assets on any EVM-compatible chain, giving fund managers full flexibility to tap into RWA and onchain yields. Centrifuge V3 will be the most complete, institutional-ready RWA offering. Read the complete CP141 proposal and join the discussion: https://lnkd.in/et2vWvDv

Wrapping up a solid week in Denver by celebrating the Frax community passing the vote to enshrine the Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund (managed by Anemoy and Janus Henderson Investors tokenized by Centrifuge) as a custodian asset for frxUSD! The passing of this proposal also enables Centrifuge to deploy on Fraxtal, attributing TVL to the network for assets backing frxUSD and expanding its impact across DeFi. Together with Frax, we look forward to continue growing the home of RWAs.

Anemoy x Wintermute Web3 native asset manager Anemoy has partnered with leading global algorithmic trading firm Wintermute to deliver institutional-grade liquidity for tokenized assets, beginning with the Janus Henderson Treasury Fund (JTRSY).

"Liquidity is fundamental for tokenized assets to scale. By working with Anemoy, we're ensuring JTRSY investors have institutional-grade access whenever they need it," adds Enrico Ancilotto, Head of London CeFi trading at Wintermute. Why this partnership is key: • It establishes 24/7 liquidity infrastructure meeting institutional demands • The collaboration initially focuses on JTRSY with plans to expand to more asset classes • This creates a blueprint for sustainable RWA liquidity models • The partnership accelerates institutional adoption of tokenized real-world assets Read more: https://lnkd.in/e5FNnDbS
