TL;DR:
- Three Institutional Funds: Centrifuge deployed the tokenized vehicles JAAA, JTRSY, and HYB on the Arc network, backed by portfolios from Janus Henderson and New York Life Investment Management (NYLIM).
- Asset Coverage: The structure spans U.S. Treasury debt instruments and corporate private credit segments.
- Access Restrictions: Direct participation in these onchain vehicles is restricted strictly to non-U.S. professional investors.
It was confirmed this Friday, October 2, that Centrifuge will deploy three institutional investment funds on the Arc blockchain. Through this initiative, the real-world asset (RWA) protocol broadens private credit and sovereign debt options across the decentralized finance ecosystem. With this move, Centrifuge goes live on Arc to connect traditional fixed-income vehicles with the decentralized settlement infrastructure of the network.

The rollout incorporates products managed by Wall Street firms such as Janus Henderson and New York Life Investment Management. Specifically, the integration introduces the JAAA fund, focused on high-grade credit notes; JTRSY, centered on short-duration U.S. Treasury bills; and HYB, oriented toward high-yield corporate credit.
Expansion of Tokenized Funds and Architecture on the Arc Network
On September 16, the Arc network launched its public mainnet, establishing an environment tailored to issuing regulated instruments and executing institutional capital transactions.
Data from Centrifuge details that the deployed smart contracts automate share issuance, periodic yield distributions, and real-time ledger accounting. Through these contracts, institutional participants can independently verify underlying collateral compositions without relying on manual intermediaries.
The deployment addresses persistent demand for real-yield instruments within decentralized finance. Market reports indicate that asset managers seek to temper native cryptocurrency volatility by allocating toward sovereign and corporate debt instruments.
From a regulatory standpoint, the offering operates under strict compliance boundaries. Direct subscriptions to JAAA, JTRSY, and HYB are permitted solely for qualified institutional investors located outside U.S. jurisdiction, in full alignment with applicable securities regulations.
On a technical level, the platform utilizes its cross-chain interoperability layer to allow fund liquidity to interface smoothly with institutional wallets and qualified custodians connected to Arc. Operational metrics from the Centrifuge protocol showed a total value locked (TVL) exceeding $1.8 billion in real-world assets as of late September 2026.
Industry analysts suggest that onboarding established asset managers like New York Life Investment Management and Janus Henderson could accelerate liquidity flows from traditional portfolios into decentralized protocols during the fourth quarter of the year.
The next operational milestone for the collaboration between Centrifuge and the Arc network will involve integrating these tokenized funds as eligible collateral across premier lending markets in the DeFi ecosystem over the coming weeks.
