Centrifuge enables AAA CLO collateral on Ethereum with $JAAA exposure

Centrifuge has enabled the use of the Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund (JAAA) as collateral on the Morpho lending protocol via a new wrapped token, wJAAA. This integration allows users to deposit wJAAA on Ethereum to borrow USDC and execute leveraged yield strategies, effectively democratizing access to institutional-grade credit markets. By utilizing the 3F protocol, the integration offers a 98% liquidation loan-to-value ratio, significantly lowering the barriers to entry for leveraged positions that previously required traditional margin accounts. The JAAA fund, which recently surpassed $1 billion in assets under management, represents a major milestone in the growth of tokenized real-world assets. While this development enhances capital efficiency, the high leverage ratio introduces potential risks regarding oracle reliability and liquidation cascades if the token deviates from its net asset value. Centrifuge continues to expand its cross-chain infrastructure, with JAAA already deployed across Ethereum, Solana, Base, and Arbitrum. This move highlights the increasing composability of traditional financial instruments within decentralized finance ecosystems.

Centrifuge partners with Ethena to issue $200M in JAAA tokens on Solana

Centrifuge has partnered with Ethena to deploy $200 million in tokenized AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) onto the Solana blockchain. These JAAA tokens, representing the Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund, serve as high-quality reserve collateral for Ethena’s synthetic dollar, USDe. By utilizing Centrifuge’s deRWA token standard, this integration brings institutional-grade corporate debt into the Solana DeFi ecosystem, enhancing composability for onchain protocols. Ethena’s risk committee approved this asset with a $310 million position cap, allowing for significant future growth beyond the current $200 million issuance. This move highlights a strategic shift for synthetic dollar issuers toward higher-yielding assets compared to traditional U.S. Treasuries. The substantial size of this issuance suggests that Ethena’s demand is a primary driver for new token minting rather than a passive allocation. As Ethena scales, the potential for reaching the $310 million ceiling signals a deepening integration of traditional finance assets into decentralized infrastructure.
