Centrifuge: Fixed-income market with JTRSY, JAAA and HYB goes live on Arc at mainnet launch - 16 Sep 2026
RWA Signal Insight
U.S. TreasuriesCentrifuge has officially launched its fixed-income market on the Arc network, integrating tokenized real-world assets directly at the mainnet genesis block. The platform debuts with three core asset classes: JTRSY (Treasuries), JAAA (AAA-rated CLOs), and HYB (high-yield bonds). This strategic deployment is supported by institutional partners JHI Advisors and New York Life Investment Management, ensuring the network begins with income-producing collateral rather than an empty state. By embedding these assets at launch, Arc aims to provide immediate utility and liquidity for its ecosystem participants. The integration of high-yield bonds specifically expands market access to a new blockchain environment, bridging traditional finance with decentralized infrastructure. This move signals a shift toward prioritizing functional, yield-bearing assets as the foundation for new institutional-grade networks. Ultimately, the launch demonstrates how established asset managers are leveraging Centrifuge's infrastructure to bring regulated financial products onchain from day one.
