By selecting Centrifuge, Ethena is partnering with one of the leading platforms for bringing regulated, asset-manager-led financial products onchain.<\/p><p>\n\u201cExpanding USDe\u2019s backing to other institutional-grade strategies beyond basis has been a key goal of ours since the start of 2026,\u201d said Guy Young, Founder of Ethena. \u201cA key step in this effort has been to introduce low-duration, lower-risk RWAs to USDe\u2019s backing. We\u2019re excited to work together with Centrifuge and Janus Henderson to bring high-quality financial assets onchain with the inclusion of JAAA within USDe\u2019s backing.\u201d<\/p><p>\nEthena is allocating capital to JAAA, the tokenized Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO ETF built onchain by Centrifuge and Janus Henderson. The strategy has emerged as one of the fastest-growing tokenized fixed income products in the market, bringing institutional-grade credit onchain while maintaining the transparency, programmability, and composability enabled by blockchain infrastructure.<\/p><p>\n\u201cTokenization is no longer just about bringing assets onchain. The next phase is enabling those assets to power entirely new financial products and ecosystems,\u201d said Bhaji Illuminati, CEO of Centrifuge. \u201cOur role is to make the highest-quality financial products accessible to the builders creating the future of finance. Ethena has consistently pushed the industry forward through product innovation, and we\u2019re excited to support their growing real-world asset strategy.\u201d<\/p><p>\nThe partnership reflects the continued evolution of Janus Henderson\u2019s blockchain strategy with Centrifuge, which has expanded from exploration and experimentation to powering some of the largest institutional use cases in digital assets.<\/p><p>\n\u201cThe future of finance is programmable, unlocking real value from assets that are today constrained by legacy systems,\u201d said Nick Cherney, Head of Innovation at Janus Henderson Investors. \u201cJanus Henderson is committed to partnering with leading companies that are actually building the future today. Ethena is rethinking what stablecoins can deliver in DeFi markets, and Centrifuge is pioneering the world's most sophisticated tokenization infrastructure. This partnership will continue to extend our leadership as a provider of tokenized assets to the world's leading protocols.\u201d<\/p><p>\nThe partnership builds on growing momentum across the tokenized asset market as institutions increasingly seek blockchain-native infrastructure that can support transparency, efficiency, and global accessibility while maintaining the standards and protections expected in traditional finance. As tokenized assets continue their rapid growth, leading companies are increasingly looking to RWAs as a foundation for scalable, transparent, and yield-generating financial products.<\/p><p>\nWith Centrifuge serving as one of Ethena\u2019s strategic tokenization partners, both organizations expect to continue exploring additional opportunities to expand the role of real-world assets within the USDe ecosystem.<\/p><br\/> <b>Contacts<\/b> <br\/><p>\nKeith Chapman\n<br\/><a  href=\"mailto:keith@chappublicrelations.com\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">keith@chappublicrelations.com<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethena allocates to Janus Henderson\u2019s tokenized AAA CLO strategy as the first step in a broader collateral diversification strategy<\/p>\n<p>Ethena selects Centrifuge following competitive RWA infrastructure RFP<br \/>\nZURICH&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;Ethena, the creator o&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-infos-businesswire"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18293"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18294,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18293\/revisions\/18294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
