**Real-world asset tokenization** is gaining momentum with a clear progression path emerging. **Current leaders:** - Tokenized U.S. Treasuries - High-quality yield funds - "Boring but compelling" products driving adoption **Next wave coming:** - Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) - Private credit products Industry experts at Stellar's RWA panel outlined this roadmap, suggesting **institutional-grade assets** will follow the established pattern of starting with traditional, lower-risk products before expanding into more complex financial instruments. The progression mirrors traditional finance adoption - **simple yield products** prove the technology works before more sophisticated instruments enter the space.

**Major institutional breakthrough**: The Anemoy Tokenized Apollo Diversified Credit Fund launched on Centrifuge, marking a significant milestone for bringing **global, diversified real-world credit onchain**. This represents a major evolution beyond tokenized treasuries, expanding into: - Corporate direct lending - Asset-backed lending - Performing credit - Dislocated credit The fund provides **blockchain-native access** to Apollo's institutional-grade credit strategies with real-time data integration and cross-chain compatibility. **Key impact**: This launch demonstrates the next phase of RWA adoption - moving from simple tokenization to **deep DeFi integration** with active utility in decentralized markets. More DeFi integrations are planned ahead as institutional credit strategies gain onchain momentum.

**Onchain finance** is evolving through a proven blueprint based on three core pillars: - **Trust** between partners and stakeholders - **Deep coordination** across teams and platforms - **Cutting-edge technology** infrastructure Grove Finance's Kevin Chan highlighted this collaborative approach in their recent fund launches: - **JAAA** - their inaugural fund - **ACRDX** - their latest offering This **partnership model** is being positioned as the standard framework for all future onchain finance launches, emphasizing coordination over individual efforts.

**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.

**Decentralized Real World Assets (deRWA) are launching on Stellar** with a $20M initial investment backing. **Two initial products:** - deJTRSY: Short-term US Treasuries - deJAAA: AAA CLO strategy The launch enables **24/7 trading** of institutional-grade assets on Stellar's network. **Key integrations include:** - **Soroswap Finance**: Native DEX trading pairs with instant swaps - **Aquarius DeFi**: Enhanced liquidity layer participation - **Blend Capital**: Borrowing and lending with RWA collateral - **Defindex**: Yield-backed products for retail users **Cross-chain compatibility** maintained through LayerZero's OFT Standard, keeping deRWAs composable across DeFi protocols. This development brings institutional assets directly into Stellar's DeFi ecosystem, offering alternatives to traditional stablecoins for savings and collateral.
