Centrifuge's Anemoy tiltrækker investeringer fra Celo som tokeniserede treasury-aktiver

Centrifuge, en førende tokeniseret aktivprotokol i den virkelige verden, har udvidet driften til Celo.

Meddelt den 29. marts investerede en unavngiven enhed fra Celo-økosystemet $100,000 i tokeniserede statsobligationer via Anemoy, en Centrifuge-native asset manager, og allokerede yderligere $1 million til senere implementering.

"Celo-økosystemmedlemmer gennemførte den første Centrifuge RWA-transaktion på Celo, og allokerede op til $1M til Anemoy's Liquid Treasury Fund," sagde Centrifuge. "Vi ser frem til at bringe flere aktiver og likviditet af høj kvalitet til Celo-økosystemet."

"Celo-økosystemet betragter Centrifuge som en strategisk partner i det bredere Celo-økosystem for at optrappe yderligere aktivklasser, som for privat kredit, som Centrifuge har en lang historie med at bringe on-chain på en sikker, kompatibel måde," sagde Alex Witt, der tidligere økonomichef i Celo Fonden.

Centrifuge now operates across five networks, following deployments on Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, and its Centrifuge Chain Polkadot parachain. Celo is a Layer 1 network boasting a total value locked of $210 million, according to DeFi Llama.

Tokeniseret amerikanske statsobligationer boble

The news comes as the RWA sector is booming, with 21Shares estimating the assets under management (AUM) of on-chain treasuries has rallied to a new all-time high above $1.1 billion.

The milestone follows BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, launching a foray into asset tokenization last week in the form of the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL).

BUIDL has already taken in more than $244 million from investors in roughly one week of operations, ranking it as the second-largest tokenized treasuries fund behind Franklin Templeton’s OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund with $360.5 million.

Anemoy was unveiled as Centrifuge’s first native manager in August 2023, serving as a vehicle for investment into the bubbling tokenized U.S. treasuries sector.

Celo’s investment brings Anemoy’s AUM to $4.66 million, with the project boasting an allocation from Polkadot’s Web3 Foundation and an integration from Finoa — a crypto custodian regulated by Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority.

Anemoy is set to enjoy a significant expansion in AUM amid increasing allocations from web3 treasuries, with Frax governance passing a proposal to invest $20 million into treasury bills via Anemoy in December, and Gnosis DAO also voting to invest $10 million in January.

"Vi ser statsobligationer som en råvare, hvor kernedifferensiatoren er den juridiske ramme," sagde Lucas Vogelsang, CEO og medstifter af Centrifuge.

Centrifuge also launched Centrifuge Prime, an RWA investment platform targeting DAO treasuries, in June 2023. Centrifuge told The Defiant that scaling Prime’s operations is currently a top priority for the project.
