Centrifuge has successfully bridged the gap between decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi). The platform has achieved significant milestones, including minting MakerDAO's first real-world asset, facilitating the first onchain securitization, and collaborating with BlockTower to bring the operations of the first credit fund onchain. This integration unites the world of suits (traditional finance) and hoodies (cryptocurrency enthusiasts).
