Centrifuge Debuts V3 Platform with Wormhole, Kicking Off with $230M Janus Henderson Treasury Fund
Centrifuge, a leading platform in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, has unveiled its third major iteration—Centrifuge V3—with the goal of streamlining asset issuance and management across multiple blockchains. The upgrade is launching in collaboration with cross-chain infrastructure provider Wormhole.
The first deployment under V3 involves a substantial $230 million fund managed by Anemoy, a crypto-native asset manager built on Centrifuge. The fund, backed by U.S. Treasury securities and managed by Janus Henderson, represents one of the most significant RWA tokenizations to date.
V3 introduces a concept called “full chain abstraction,” which allows users—whether investors or fund administrators—to operate across blockchains via a single, unified interface. This eliminates the need for direct interaction with underlying blockchain protocols, simplifying access to tokenized financial products.
Wormhole plays a critical role in enabling cross-chain composability, ensuring that assets tokenized through Centrifuge are compatible with a wide array of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and institutional systems.
The launch of Centrifuge V3 is part of the platform’s broader expansion. Last year, Centrifuge secured $15 million in an oversubscribed funding round and extended its reach to Coinbase’s Base, a layer-2 Ethereum network.
By bridging traditional finance and decentralized ecosystems, Centrifuge continues to position itself at the forefront of blockchain-enabled capital markets.
