Predicate is now Centrifuge’s compliance partner for RWA issuers on Whitelabel, helping tokenized assets meet the same compliance standards onchain that govern them offchain. For issuers, compliance cannot only happen at the point of issuance. Investors need to be screened before they deposit into a vault, and transfer rules need to keep applying once the asset is in circulation. That is what Predicate brings to Centrifuge: AML screening and KYC/KYB verification on vault deposits, plus continuous token-level policy enforcement on secondary transfers. Builders on Centrifuge Whitelabel can define who is eligible to hold an asset, how transfer rules apply, and how compliance is enforced across the RWA lifecycle. A cleaner path for regulated assets to move onchain: issuer-defined policies enforced from deposit to transfer, with less operational overhead.

What carries tokenized RWAs from $25B to institutional scale is the layer above issuance: secondary trading, lending, risk frameworks, real DeFi market structure. Graham Nelson, DeFi Product Lead is on the panel exploring how that gets built. Thursday, May 21, at the University of Zurich.
🌊 Tokenized real-world assets sit at ~$25B today. Institutions are targeting a trillion-dollar market. What actually closes that gap? The conversation has moved past issuance and tokenization. Getting RWAs to scale now hinges on the harder layer: → liquidity → lending markets → secondary trading → risk frameworks → compliance → DeFi market structure This Thursday at the University of Zurich, we're bringing together a group of builders working to turn tokenized finance from experiment into real infrastructure. Guest spekers: Mats Olsen — co-founder & CTO, Dune Graham Nelson — Head of DeFi, Centrifuge Alex Copestake - Economist at International Monetary Fund 📍 University of Zurich 📅 Thursday, May 21 ⏰ 17:00–19:00 + apéro and networking afterwards 🥂 Hosted by DeFiAM, Smart Contracts Lab, and the UZH Blockchain Center. If you work in #tokenization, #DeFi, #banking, #stablecoins, #RWAs, or #digitalassetinfrastructure, this one's worth your time. Come for the discussion, stay for the apéro.

Centrifuge reposted this
$CFG just crossed 10,000 holders on Ethereum, after a Q1 2026 expansion across major exchanges that pushed average volume from $2M to $30M. The holder base compounded behind that liquidity buildout. Tier-1-quality access typically precedes broader participation, and that pattern is visible here.

The S&P 500 ran on a trading floor for 70 years, accessible between 9:30 and 4:00. deSPXA on Base extends that exposure to 24/7/365, onchain. Jesse Pollak (Base) and Bhaji Illuminati (Centrifuge Labs) joined CoinDesk Live at Consensus 2026 to talk about what crossing that threshold means. Bhaji shared her view on when tokenization graduates from a category into financial infrastructure. Where do you see this landing first: DeFi-native protocols, or institutional treasury portfolios? #Tokenization #RWAs #DeFi

T-bills are the asset class the industry is most convinced will be purchased onchain by 2030. Half of respondents in the Tokenization Outlook 2026 report rated the likelihood high or very high. This matches how the market has actually developed. T-bills were the first serious tokenization pilot, and tokenized money market and Treasury products now account for the largest share of tokenized RWA value onchain. Conviction is starting to extend. Stocks and ETFs follow T-bills in the survey, and the ecosystem already has proof points. JAAA, the tokenized version of Janus Henderson's AAA CLO ETF, has scaled materially onchain over the past year. Private credit sits just above the midpoint, with the tightest clustering in the mid-range. Operators see the opportunity but expectations are cautious and relatively aligned. Real estate is the clearest outlier. 52% of respondents rated it low. Physical, illiquid, jurisdiction-bound assets do not yet have a credible onchain path. Several findings in the survey ran against consensus. This one did not. T-bills already cleared the proof-of-concept stage, and the survey shows the industry expects the same path to extend to the next layer of assets.

Portfolio size shouldn't decide portfolio quality and investment opportunities. Jürgen Blumberg, COO at Centrifuge Labs, in a joint webinar with S&P Dow Jones Indices and Janus Henderson Investors, on the bet that tokenization closes the gap. Full recording in the first comment.

Introducing instant redemption for Centrifuge's tokenized assets, in partnership with Grove. Through Grove Basin, investors can access up to $1B in committed near-instant daily liquidity. Among the first supported assets: Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund. A turning point for tokenized Treasuries to become institutional-grade cash management instruments, with the liquidity profile to match. Powered by Centrifuge.

The tokenized RWA category is still small in absolute terms, but moving faster than most people realize. In "Tokenization: From Exploration to Execution," a joint webinar with S&P Dow Jones Indices and Janus Henderson Investors, Centrifuge Labs COO Jürgen Blumberg walks through the numbers behind the curve. Where do you think the tokenized RWA category will sit two years from now? Recording in the first comment.

deJAAA is now usable as collateral on Zharta: users can take fixed-rate loans against their AAA CLOs exposure. A core institutional asset, wrapped in a freely transferable token, composable in DeFi.
Today we're shipping it: the first fixed-rate lending product built for Centrifuge collateral. This one started as a long conversation with Bhaji Illuminati and Martin Quensel about what a real structured credit venue for Centrifuge's collateral should look like...and now Zharta and Centrifuge are live. deJAAA and deCRDX holders can borrow against their positions on Zharta, with fixed rate. Centrifuge runs one of the deepest RWA venues in DeFi. Those assets now have a credit venue built around them, not retrofitted to them. Why fixed rates matter here (you guess right, looping): Carry-rate volatility is what blows up levered RWA positions in variable-rate DeFi. The borrow side floats, the asset side settles slowly, and the carry trade you underwrote on day one stops making sense a few weeks in. Fixed rates remove that risk. Leverage becomes actually predictable, which is the condition serious capital needs to enter. The first Centrifuge assets will be covered by our RWA Prime vault on Lagoon this week. A specific shoutout to Adam Bawi, Nadim Chamoun and Anant M. on the Centrifuge side. The integration work behind a partnership like this is invisible from the outside: compliance plumbing, transfer mechanics, oracle paths, redemption logic. They helped us clarify every one of them so we could make this a reality. Our team that worked side by side knows the efforts of connecting the dots in these systems, and so do I. Very proud of this partnership taking form. To Bhaji and Martin, thank you for backing this from the start. Building a credit venue for a category that is being born requires partners willing to bet the rails will be there when the asset class needs them. You bet early. Today's news is the rail. What gets built on top of it is the next chapter. N
