Centrifuge reports asset-backed credit inflows for a second week

Centrifuge has reported a second consecutive week of inflows into asset-backed credit, signaling sustained investor interest in tokenized real-world assets. This trend is supported by a Q3 2026 Dune Analytics report, which reveals that the total value of tokenized credit has more than doubled over the past year. Approximately two-thirds of this growth is driven by traditional lending products, such as home-equity lines and middle-market loans, rather than speculative assets. Furthermore, tokenized credit has emerged as the primary form of real-world asset collateral within decentralized finance lending protocols. Centrifuge is actively expanding its footprint by deploying high-yield bond products on Circle’s Arc and the Stellar blockchain. The increase in holder counts and total value on Stellar suggests that the firm's multichain strategy is gaining traction. As these assets become more integrated into DeFi, the stability of lending protocols is increasingly tied to the performance of underlying real-world borrowers. This shift highlights a broader market maturation where established financial instruments are successfully migrating to blockchain infrastructure.
