Janus Henderson is positioning blockchain as the foundation for future asset management.
Nick Cherney from JHI Advisors outlined how tokenization is transforming finance, with the firm bringing core strategies like JAAA and Treasury products onchain.
This follows their recent launch of the VAO Dashboard with Chronicle Labs, which provides transparency for their JTRSY tokenized treasury fund by showing how asset data is:
- Sourced and verified
- Monitored onchain in real-time
- Made accessible to users
The move reflects growing institutional adoption of blockchain technology for traditional financial products, emphasizing transparency and efficiency in asset management.
Centrifuge Drives RWA Evolution Beyond Tokenization Into Active DeFi Markets
**The tokenization era is evolving.** According to a new Dunes report, the next phase for real-world assets (RWAs) isn't just putting assets onchain - it's deep DeFi integration with real utility. **Centrifuge leads this transformation:** - JTRSY now serves as institutional collateral on Aave's Horizon platform - deJAAA enables seamless cross-chain liquidity - Both products demonstrate how RWAs can power active DeFi markets **The bigger picture:** RWAs must move beyond simple tokenization to become functional collateral in DeFi protocols. This shift unlocks their full potential by creating liquid, usable assets rather than static tokens. Centrifuge's infrastructure proves this vision works, with real institutional assets now actively participating in DeFi lending and borrowing markets.
