LayerZero and Centrifuge unveil report on tokenized fund composability across 165 blockchains
On March 19, LayerZero and Centrifuge announced a strategic partnership to enable tokenized real-world assets to deploy once and operate across more than 165 blockchains. This integration addresses the critical issue of liquidity fragmentation in the $30 billion RWA market, where assets are currently siloed on individual networks. By leveraging LayerZero’s interoperability protocol, Centrifuge aims to maintain unified compliance and consistent product structures across diverse chains. The initiative includes major assets such as JTRSY, a tokenized US Treasuries fund with nearly $861 million in value, as well as JAAA collateralized loan obligations and the SPXA S&P 500 index fund. While this infrastructure is essential for scaling the RWA sector toward projected trillion-dollar valuations by 2030, it also introduces potential bridge risks and regulatory complexities regarding cross-border asset accessibility. Centrifuge’s existing relationships with SEC-registered transfer agents provide a foundational layer of compliance, yet global regulatory alignment remains a significant hurdle. Ultimately, this partnership represents a vital step in building the cross-chain plumbing necessary for institutional-grade RWA adoption.
