Major partnerships this month:
(1) Centrifuge and Anemoy participate in the Tokenization Grand Prix, an opportunity to redefine the future of onchain asset management. This collaboration leverages Centrifuge’s tokenization technology and Anemoy’s asset management expertise to bring a powerful, institutional-grade solution. The application can be found here.(2) Centrifuge will be entering into an exciting strategic partnership with Janus Henderson and Anemoy Limited. Janus will manage Anemoy’s Liquid Treasury Fund, a fully onchain, tokenized fund issued on Centrifuge that provides investors with direct access to short-term US Treasury bills.
(3) Anemoy is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Archax, the UK’s first regulated digital securities exchange, broker and custodian to add the Liquid Treasury Fund (LTF) to its Primary Platform.
(4) Centrifuge is partnering with Chronicle to enhance transparency for the Anemoy Liquid Treasury Fund by providing real-time price updates and third-party verification via a decentralized RWA Oracle. The benefits of this integration: transparency for stakeholders and visibility into the fund’s full portfolio (including cash movements and offchain holdings).
