Centrifuge
Centrifuge is onchain asset-management infrastructure, not a single issuer. As of Centrifuge V3 (2025) it migrated off its legacy Polkadot chain to a native multichain EVM model, consolidated its CFG governance token into one Ethereum-native ERC-20, and now hosts a flagship set of Anemoy-issued, Janus Henderson and Apollo sub-advised tokenized funds spanning Treasuries, AAA CLO, private credit, and the S&P 500. AltStreet's review covers the protocol layer and the four flagship funds, whose NAV is visible only through Centrifuge's own onchain accounting because none of them trade on any public market.
What the data actually shows - TL;DR
Centrifuge is a 2017-era RWA protocol that rebuilt itself. In 2025 it migrated off Polkadot to a native multichain EVM architecture (Centrifuge V3) and consolidated its CFG token into a single Ethereum-native ERC-20, deprecating the legacy chain and wrapped WCFG. The institutional business now runs through Anemoy, Centrifuge's affiliated asset manager, which issues a tiered set of tokenized funds sub-advised by Janus Henderson and Apollo: JTRSY (US Treasuries), JAAA (AAA CLO), ACRDX (Apollo diversified credit), and SPXA (S&P 500). Combined protocol TVL is platform-reported around $1.64B. The defining structural fact: these funds are whitelisted, non-US, NAV-accreting instruments that do not trade on any public exchange — their price is visible only through Centrifuge's own onchain accounting.
NAV figures are AltStreet-ingested from the public Centrifuge GraphQL API as of June 26, 2026; TVL and per-fund AUM are platform/third-party-reported (DefiLlama, RWA.xyz) and not independently audited by AltStreet. CFG token data is from CoinGecko/DefiLlama as of late June 2026.
Quick Verdict
Is this platform right for you?
Centrifuge is credible onchain RWA infrastructure with a genuine institutional fund set (Anemoy, sub-advised by Janus Henderson and Apollo), distinguished by unusually transparent onchain NAV — and limited by the fact that those funds are non-US, whitelisted, and do not trade, so their published NAV is protocol-published from issuer/administrator accounting rather than an independently market-tested or market-realizable price. Evaluate the rails and each fund separately, and keep any CFG token decision distinct from a fund decision.
Best for
- Non-US institutions and professional/accredited investors wanting onchain, NAV-transparent access to institutional strategies (Treasuries, AAA CLO, Apollo credit, S&P 500).
- Buy-and-hold allocators comfortable with mint/redeem illiquidity in exchange for real-time onchain NAV visibility.
- DeFi-native allocators who want to use tokenized fund exposure as composable collateral via the deRWA wrappers.
Avoid if
- You are a US person — the flagship funds are non-US offerings not available to US investors.
- You need a liquid, exitable position — there is no public market, only whitelisted mint/redeem.
- You are treating onchain NAV as an audited or transactable valuation, especially on the private-credit (ACRDX) and CLO (JAAA) funds.
- You want CFG as a proxy for fund performance — it is governance-only.
Top strengths
- Unusually transparent onchain NAV: per-fund share prices and issuance events published through a public API.
- A genuine institutional fund set across four asset tiers, with named TradFi sub-advisors and a $1B Grove seed into JAAA.
- A 2017-era protocol that rebuilt onto native multichain EVM rails with multiple independent security reviews of the V3 deployment.
Key limitations
- Funds do not trade; NAV is protocol-published from issuer/administrator accounting, with no public-market price check and no publicly accessible audited fund financials located in primary sources.
- Non-US-only eligibility excludes US investors entirely.
- Short operating history at current scale post-migration, and concentrated anchor capital (e.g. Grove in JAAA) that can drive large, fast TVL swings.

Overview
Platform Overview
A concise read on what the platform is, how the structure works, and where the practical friction shows up for real investors.
Centrifuge is infrastructure for onchain asset management. Asset managers launch tokenized products on Centrifuge rails as 'pools'; each pool contains vaults (deposit/redemption logic) and one or more share classes that issue ERC-20 share tokens (optionally ERC-1404-restricted, e.g. junior/senior tranches), with per-pool permissioning, onchain accounting, and DeFi distribution. The protocol does not itself originate or guarantee any investment. Its affiliated asset manager, Anemoy, issues the flagship funds; named TradFi houses (Janus Henderson, Apollo) sub-advise them; and the CFG token governs the protocol without being a claim on any fund's cash flows.
The protocol layer is multichain EVM infrastructure (Centrifuge V3) for tokenizing and administering funds: pools, vaults, share-class tokens, onchain accounting, per-pool permissioning, and DeFi distribution, with a CFG governance token and an SEC transfer-agent registration at the protocol level for tokenized-securities corporate actions. The product layer is a set of Anemoy-issued funds — Anemoy being Centrifuge's affiliated asset manager — sub-advised by named TradFi houses. The flagship funds (JTRSY, JAAA, ACRDX, SPXA) are the substance an investor actually buys; the protocol is the rails they run on.
Infrastructure, not issuer
Centrifuge does not originate or guarantee investments. Anemoy issues the flagship funds; Janus Henderson and Apollo sub-advise them. Investor claims run to the fund vehicle, not the protocol.
Multichain EVM (post-2025 migration)
Centrifuge V3 runs a hub-and-spoke model across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Plume, BSC, Optimism and others. The legacy Polkadot/Substrate chain and wrapped WCFG were deprecated in 2025.
Per-pool permissioning
Each pool sets its own access rules (KYC/AML whitelisting, jurisdictional limits, wallet pre-approval). The flagship funds are uniformly non-US and whitelisted; there is no single platform-wide eligibility gate.
NAV-accreting, non-trading tokens
Flagship share tokens accrue value as the underlying earns (NAV rises) rather than paying distributions, and do not trade on any public exchange. NAV is published onchain via the protocol's accounting.
CFG governs, does not entitle
The V3 CFG token is a governance instrument for the protocol and DAO. It is not a claim on any fund's cash flows; fund performance and token price are structurally separate.
Platform Intelligence
Centrifuge Structural Timeline
Key platform events, regulatory turns, liquidity stress points, and product launches that shape how the review should be read.
Centrifuge founded
Centrifuge founded with a thesis around bringing real-world asset financing onchain — years before 'RWA' became a mainstream crypto category. HQ in Zug, Switzerland (k/f labs).
DefiLlama begins tracking Centrifuge TVL
First DefiLlama TVL record at roughly $20K on October 18, 2020. Early protocol activity ran through Tinlake, the legacy securitization pools.
Anemoy founded as the asset-management arm
Anemoy Limited founded by Martin Quensel (co-founder of Centrifuge) and Anil Sood to issue and manage RWA fund products built on Centrifuge rails.
JTRSY launches with Janus Henderson
Janus Henderson partners with Anemoy and Centrifuge to launch the Anemoy Liquid Treasury Fund (JTRSY), a tokenized short-term US Treasury fund sub-advised by Janus Henderson via Tabula. Non-US, whitelisted.
Centrifuge V3: CP 141 / CP 149 migration
Governance proposals CP 141 (Centrifuge V3, native EVM execution) and CP 149 (single Ethereum-native CFG token) pass. The protocol migrates off Polkadot/Substrate; legacy CFG and wrapped WCFG consolidate 1:1 into the V3 CFG contract (0xccc…8A94).
V3 CFG token migration window opens
The V3 CFG token contract goes live May 20-21, 2025; the legacy-to-V3 swap window runs through December 3, 2025. AltStreet's CFG price history begins here — the V3 token's tradable life starts at migration.
JAAA launches; $1B Grove seed
Janus Henderson's flagship AAA CLO strategy comes onchain as JAAA, seeded with a $1B allocation from Grove (the institutional credit platform in the Sky/MakerDAO ecosystem). Managed by the same team behind Janus Henderson's ~$21B AAA CLO ETF.
V3 CFG token reaches its post-migration high
CFG peaks at approximately $0.40 on August 24, 2025 — the high-water mark for the V3-era token, well below the legacy token's 2021 all-time high.
ACRDX launches with Apollo and Plume
The Anemoy Tokenized Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (ACRDX) launches, minted primarily on Plume, with a $50M anchor from Grove. It feeds Apollo's Diversified Credit Fund (direct lending, asset-backed, dislocated credit). Non-US accredited only.
CP 171: Centrifuge Network Foundation inherits governance
CP 171 approved November 3, 2025: the Centrifuge Network Foundation (CNF) inherits governance and oversight responsibilities while the Centrifuge DAO retains its role. Legacy chain migration ~89% complete by the November 30 deadline.
V3 CFG token all-time low
CFG bottoms at approximately $0.067 on February 6, 2026 amid a broad crypto drawdown, before recovering on Upbit and Binance listings later in Q1.
Protocol TVL peaks near $1.99B
Combined Centrifuge TVL reaches its all-time high of approximately $1.99B on April 24, 2026 per DefiLlama, before drifting to roughly $1.64B by late June. JAAA's ~42% single-month drawdown to ~$416M is the most notable single-fund move in the window.
AltStreet onchain data layer captured
AltStreet ingests per-fund NAV history for all four flagship funds from the Centrifuge GraphQL API: JTRSY ($1.0962→$1.1075 over 56 days), JAAA ($1.0256→$1.0387 over 48 days), ACRDX (current NAV ~$1.018), and SPXA (current NAV ~$1.094), plus the V3 CFG snapshot and protocol TVL series.
Investment Structures
JTRSY — Anemoy Liquid Treasury Fund (tokenized US Treasuries)
A tokenized short-term US Treasury bill fund, owned by Anemoy and sub-advised by Janus Henderson via its Tabula subsidiary. The JTRSY token (Ethereum 0x8c213ee7…418c4b86; share-class id 0x0001…0006…0001) is a permissioned, NAV-accreting ERC-20 share for non-US professional investors, KYC/AML whitelisted.
AltStreet's onchain NAV series runs $1.0962 (Mar 4, 2026) to $1.1075 (Jun 25, 2026) — smooth, monotonic T-bill accretion across 56 unique-day records; current NAV ~$1.108 (Jun 26, 2026). It won Spark's Tokenization Grand Prix ($200M → $400M allocation); third-party trackers (RWA.xyz) report ~$761M tokenized (platform/third-party-reported).
A freely transferable deRWA wrapper (deJTRSY) exists for DeFi composability. The fund does not trade on any DEX..
JAAA — Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund (tokenized structured credit)
A tokenized feeder into Janus Henderson's flagship AAA CLO strategy (the same managers behind its ~$21B AAA CLO ETF), invested in the senior-most (AAA) tranches of collateralized loan obligations with floating-rate (SOFR-reset) coupons. The JAAA token (Ethereum 0x5a0F93D0…17Dcf64; share-class id 0x0001…0007…0001) is NAV-accreting, non-US professional, whitelisted.
AltStreet's NAV series runs $1.0256 (Feb 12, 2026) to $1.0387 (Jun 26, 2026) across 48 days; current NAV ~$1.039. Seeded with a $1B Grove allocation, it exceeded $1B TVL before a ~42% single-month drawdown to a platform-reported ~$416M.
Underlying exposure is AAA-rated structured credit — higher risk than JTRSY despite the senior tranche. A deRWA wrapper (deJAAA) trades on Base..
ACRDX — Anemoy Tokenized Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (tokenized private credit)
A tokenized feeder into the Apollo Diversified Credit Fund — corporate direct lending, asset-backed lending, performing credit, and dislocated (stressed) credit. Minted primarily on Plume and deployed multichain, denominated in USDC, for non-US accredited investors.
The ACRDX token (0x9477724b…3fb4da74f; share-class id 0x0001…0008…0001) is NAV-accreting; current NAV ~$1.018 (Jun 26, 2026). Launched September 2025 with a $50M Grove anchor; Chronicle provides the oracle, Wormhole the cross-chain rails; Anemoy is asset manager subject to regulatory approval.
This is the highest-risk flagship tier (diversified private/alternative credit including dislocated debt). Its onchain issuance history is sparse (a small, young fund), so AltStreet cites current NAV rather than a slope.
Not to be confused with ACRED (0x17418038…706F27B), which is Securitize's separate Apollo product..
SPXA — Janus Henderson Anemoy S&P 500 Fund (tokenized equity index)
The only equity (non-credit) flagship: a tokenized fund tracking the S&P 500, owned by Anemoy with Janus Henderson as sub-advisor, under license from S&P Dow Jones Indices. The SPXA token (share-class id 0x0001…0009…0001) is NAV-accreting, non-US, whitelisted; current NAV ~$1.094 (Jun 26, 2026).
Unlike the credit funds' smooth accretion, SPXA's onchain NAV moves with the equity market — AltStreet's sparse series ranged from a sub-$1.00 inception (~$0.994, Mar 16, 2026) to ~$1.10, reflecting index movement rather than a fixed-income accretion curve. A deRWA wrapper (deSPXA) launched on Base for 24/7 index access.
The fund does not trade on any DEX..
Risk
Risk Structure
This is where the marketplace pitch gives way to the actual operating reality: delayed exits, limited disclosure, fee drag, and path-dependent outcomes.
Issuer vs. infrastructure separation
Centrifuge provides rails; Anemoy issues the funds. An investor's legal claim is to the Anemoy fund vehicle and its offshore structure, not to Centrifuge or to the TradFi sub-advisor. Protocol solvency and fund solvency are distinct questions.
No public market / no exit price
The flagship funds do not trade on any DEX or CEX. Liquidity is mint/redeem against the fund, gated by whitelisting. There is no market price to mark against the protocol's published NAV, and redemption behavior under stress is not disclosed.
Migration recency
The V3 architecture and most flagship funds are 2025-2026 vintage. The protocol's operating history at current scale is short; pre-2025 track record and audits belong to the deprecated legacy (Tinlake/Polkadot) system.
Per-fund risk dispersion
A Treasury fund, an AAA CLO fund, a diversified private-credit fund, and an equity-index fund share one set of rails but not one risk profile. JAAA's ~42% single-month TVL drawdown illustrates that 'AAA' and 'tokenized' do not eliminate volatility in the underlying.
NAV is self-reported by the protocol, with no market check
Risk Summary
Because the funds do not trade, the only price is the NAV that Centrifuge/Anemoy computes and publishes onchain. There is no independent market price and AltStreet did not locate publicly accessible audited fund financials or a named fund auditor for the flagship funds.
Why It Matters
An investor relying on onchain NAV is relying on the issuer's own valuation of illiquid underlying assets (CLO tranches, private credit). For Treasuries and an S&P 500 index this is low-stakes; for ACRDX's private/dislocated credit it is the central risk — a marked NAV is not a realizable exit value.
Mitigation / Verification
Verify whether the specific fund publishes audited financials and names an auditor and administrator before relying on its NAV as a valuation. Treat NAV on the credit funds as the manager's mark, not a transactable price.
Non-US-only eligibility and offshore vehicle structure
Risk Summary
All flagship funds are non-US (JTRSY/JAAA non-US professional, ACRDX non-US accredited) and access is gated by per-pool whitelisting. The fund vehicles sit in offshore structures.
Why It Matters
US investors are not the audience and generally cannot access these funds. For eligible non-US investors, the offshore structure shapes legal remedies, tax treatment, and the nature of the claim — which are governed by the fund vehicle, not by Centrifuge.
Mitigation / Verification
Confirm eligibility and the governing fund documents for the specific pool; do not assume US-style investor protections apply.
Underlying-strategy risk concentrated in the credit funds
Risk Summary
JAAA holds AAA CLO tranches; ACRDX holds Apollo diversified credit including dislocated debt. JAAA's documented ~42% single-month TVL drawdown shows the underlying can move sharply even at the senior, AAA-rated layer.
Why It Matters
Tokenization does not change the credit risk of the underlying. A drawdown in CLO valuations or a gating event in the Apollo book would flow through to NAV and to redemption capacity, regardless of the onchain wrapper.
Mitigation / Verification
Assess each credit fund on its underlying (collateral quality, manager, liquidity terms) as you would any private-credit or structured-credit allocation; the wrapper is not the diligence object.
CFG token is governance-only and structurally separate from fund value
Risk Summary
The V3 CFG token governs the protocol but is not a claim on fund cash flows. It traded near $0.20 in mid-2026, ~50% below its V3-era high and ~90% below the legacy 2021 peak, with a meaningful uncirculated supply overhang (380M circulating of 680M total).
Why It Matters
An investor buying CFG for exposure to Centrifuge's fund growth is mispricing the instrument: fund AUM growth does not mechanically accrue to CFG, and the mechanism by which it might is not transparently documented.
Mitigation / Verification
Treat CFG as a governance/venture-token position on the protocol, not as a proxy for the funds. The funds and the token are separate decisions.
ASRisk signals to watch
- Any divergence between published onchain NAV and a fund's eventual realized redemption value, particularly for ACRDX (private/dislocated credit) and JAAA (CLO).
- Further single-month TVL drawdowns in the credit funds of the magnitude seen in JAAA (~42%).
- Changes to per-pool eligibility, whitelisting, or redemption terms that tighten access or gate liquidity.
- Publication (or continued absence) of audited fund financials and named auditors/administrators for the flagship funds.
Regulatory & Legal Posture
Security Status
Mixed by layer: Centrifuge the protocol is unregistered onchain infrastructure with a narrow SEC transfer-agent registration; the flagship funds are securities, structured as non-US offerings issued by Anemoy through offshore vehicles and sub-advised by regulated TradFi managers (Janus Henderson, Apollo).
The protocol itself holds no SEC broker-dealer or investment-adviser registration; investor-facing regulation lives with each fund. The flagship funds are non-US offerings (JTRSY/JAAA non-US professional; ACRDX non-US accredited) accessed by whitelisted wallets after KYC/AML — not registered US offerings and not available to US persons in the ordinary course.
Centrifuge separately holds an SEC transfer-agent registration used for onchain corporate actions on tokenized securities..
- Centrifuge is classified here as unregistered infrastructure: no SEC registration as a broker-dealer or investment adviser at the protocol level; investor-facing regulation lives with each fund.
- The funds are non-US offerings (JTRSY/JAAA non-US professional; ACRDX non-US accredited), accessed by whitelisted wallets after KYC/AML — not registered US offerings, and not available to US persons in the ordinary course.
- Named sub-advisors are regulated asset managers in their home jurisdictions (Janus Henderson, Apollo), but the investor's counterparty is the Anemoy fund vehicle, not the sub-advisor.
- Centrifuge's related SEC transfer-agent registration is a narrow regulatory footprint for tokenized-securities administration and corporate actions — not fund-level US registration and not, in itself, an investor protection.
Disclosure Quality
Onchain transparency on NAV and issuance is unusually strong (a public GraphQL API publishes per-fund share-class prices and issuance events), but AltStreet did not locate a publicly accessible PPM, Form D, or US-style offering disclosure package for these non-US funds, nor publicly accessible audited fund financials or named fund auditors for the flagship funds. The transparency surface is real but different in kind from a Reg D platform's filed disclosures.
Custody Model
Self-custody at the wallet level (investors hold ERC-20 share tokens in their own whitelisted wallets), with fund-level custody and administration of the underlying assets handled within each Anemoy fund vehicle and its sub-advisor's operational stack. Custody arrangements are product-specific and not uniformly documented across the flagship funds in public sources.
Regulatory Backing
The sub-advisors (Janus Henderson, Apollo) are regulated asset managers in their home jurisdictions, but the investor's counterparty is the Anemoy fund vehicle, not the sub-advisor. Verify the specific fund's custodian and administrator before relying on either as a structural protection..
Tax Treatment
Reporting
AltStreet did not identify a US investor tax-document workflow (e.g. K-1 or 1099) for the flagship funds, which are non-US offerings and generally not available to US persons. US tax treatment for any eligible holder would depend on investor status, the fund's jurisdiction, and intermediary/withholding (FATCA/CRS) reporting. AltStreet classifies the tax-document type as 'none' for these funds in its data layer.
Not applicable for US purposes; tax reporting is governed by the offshore fund vehicle's jurisdiction and the investor's own residence. Eligible non-US investors should verify the fund vehicle's reporting directly.
Income Character
Return on the Treasury and credit funds accrues through NAV appreciation rather than distributions; SPXA tracks an equity index. The legal characterization of NAV accretion depends on the offshore fund vehicle's classification and the investor's jurisdiction.
Because these are non-US vehicles with NAV-accreting share tokens, there is no US pass-through characterization to rely on. How NAV accretion is taxed (income vs.
gain, timing) is a function of the fund's jurisdiction and the investor's residence, not the onchain wrapper..
- No US tax forms are issued for the flagship funds; they are not US-registered products and the audience is non-US.
- NAV accretion (rather than distributions) is the return mechanism for the credit and Treasury funds, which has its own tax characterization depending on the investor's jurisdiction and the fund's classification there.
- Eligible non-US investors should obtain tax advice specific to the fund vehicle's jurisdiction and their own residence; nothing in the onchain wrapper changes the underlying tax analysis.
Limitation
AltStreet does not provide tax advice. Eligible non-US investors should consult a tax advisor familiar with the specific offshore fund vehicle and tokenized-fund treatment in their jurisdiction.

AltStreet Data Layer
What the data actually shows
Five structural findings emerge from AltStreet's primary-source onchain data layer for Centrifuge — built from the public Centrifuge GraphQL API, DefiLlama, and CoinGecko.
The flagship funds do not trade — NAV exists only in protocol accounting
DefiLlama Coins and CoinGecko return zero price history for JTRSY, JAAA, ACRDX, and SPXA; CoinGecko explicitly flags them as having stopped trading with $0 24h volume. AltStreet instead reconstructed NAV directly from the Centrifuge GraphQL API's tokenIssuance events, where each ISSUE/REVOKE stamps pricePoolPerShare. This is the authoritative price, and it is visible only through the protocol's own accounting to whitelisted participants.
What this means
The transparency model is inverted relative to a DEX-traded token: there is no market price, but there is a published, granular NAV from the issuer. An investor is relying on protocol-published NAV from issuer/administrator accounting, not a market quote — strong for transparency, weak for independent price discovery, and materially different from both a liquid token and a filed offering document.
Four asset tiers under one set of rails, with four different NAV signatures
AltStreet's onchain NAV series show distinct behavior by tier: JTRSY (Treasuries) accreted smoothly $1.0962 → $1.1075 over 56 unique days; JAAA (AAA CLO) accreted $1.0256 → $1.0387 over 48 days; ACRDX (Apollo private credit) sits at a current ~$1.018 with a sparse issuance history; and SPXA (S&P 500) ranged from a sub-$1.00 inception (~$0.994) to ~$1.10, moving with the equity market rather than accreting.
What this means
The shared infrastructure can make the funds look interchangeable, but their NAV signatures reveal the underlying difference: the credit and Treasury funds accrete monotonically; the equity fund moves with its index and can fall below par. Investors should not generalize 'tokenized fund on Centrifuge' into a single risk profile.
JAAA's ~42% single-month drawdown shows 'AAA' and 'tokenized' do not remove volatility
JAAA was seeded with a $1B Grove allocation and exceeded $1B TVL before falling approximately 42% in a single month to a platform-reported ~$416M. The drawdown was a capital/TVL move (redemptions/allocation shifts), not a NAV collapse — the share NAV continued to accrete — but it is the sharpest single-fund swing in the flagship set.
What this means
The senior, AAA-rated tranche of a CLO strategy is high credit quality, but the onchain vehicle's TVL is still subject to large, fast capital movements driven by a concentrated anchor allocator (Grove/Sky). Concentration of seed capital is a structural feature of these institutionally-seeded tokenized funds and a real liquidity-of-the-vehicle consideration.
The V3 token's real decline is ~50%, not the ~90% the legacy ATH implies
Using the correct V3-token CoinGecko id (centrifuge-2), CFG traded near $0.20 in AltStreet's June 2026 snapshot, ~50% below its V3-era high of $0.40 (Aug 24, 2025) and above its $0.067 all-time low (Feb 6, 2026), with 380.38M circulating of 680M total supply and a ~$76M market cap. The legacy CoinGecko entry carried a $2.19 ATH from 2021 that belongs to the pre-migration token, which would overstate the V3 token's decline as ~90%.
What this means
Attributing the 2021 ATH to the current token misstates the token's history across the migration. The honest figures are a ~50% drawdown from the V3-era high and a meaningful uncirculated supply overhang (~300M of 680M not yet circulating). The broader ~90% figure is real only as a statement about the full multi-year CFG price history across the entire crypto cycle, not the V3 token's own arc.
Protocol TVL is concentrated on Ethereum despite a ten-chain footprint
Combined TVL of ~$1.64B (down from a $1.99B peak on April 24, 2026) is spread across ten chains, but Ethereum holds roughly $1.05B of it, with Avalanche ~$259M and Plume ~$33M next, and the remaining chains (Base, BSC, Monad, Pharos, Optimism, Arbitrum, HyperEVM) holding smaller balances. DefiLlama flags its own liquidity measurement on this protocol as imperfect (wrongLiquidity).
What this means
The multichain narrative is real at the deployment level, but capital is still overwhelmingly Ethereum-anchored. The chain diversification is more about distribution reach (meeting allocators where they are) than about where the assets actually sit, and the DefiLlama caveat means the headline TVL should be treated as an estimate.

Full datasetDecision Fit
Investor Fit
Who this works for, who it does not, and what level of patience and complexity tolerance the platform really demands.
Non-US institutions and professional investors seeking tokenized fund exposure
The flagship funds are built for exactly this audience: non-US professional/accredited investors who want onchain, NAV-accreting access to institutional strategies (Treasuries, AAA CLO, Apollo credit, S&P 500) with real-time NAV transparency and DeFi composability via the deRWA wrappers..
Allocators who value onchain NAV transparency over a liquid exit
Centrifuge publishes per-fund NAV and issuance onchain, which is more transparent than many private funds — but the trade is illiquidity: there is no public market to exit into, only mint/redeem against the fund. Suited to buy-and-hold allocators comfortable with that..
US retail or US accredited investors
The flagship funds are non-US offerings not available to US persons in the ordinary course. US investors seeking similar exposure should look to US-registered tokenized products rather than Centrifuge's Anemoy funds..
Investors seeking CFG token exposure as a proxy for fund growth
CFG governs the protocol but is not a claim on any fund's cash flows, and the mechanism by which fund growth might accrue to CFG is not transparently documented. Buying CFG to gain fund exposure is a category error..
Tradeoffs
Key Tradeoffs
The attraction of pre-IPO access is real, but every benefit comes bundled with a corresponding liquidity, transparency, or pricing cost.
Transparency
AltStreet did not locate a publicly accessible PPM, Form D, US-style offering disclosure package, audited fund financials, or named auditors for the flagship funds. Onchain NAV is protocol-published from issuer/administrator accounting, not an independently market-tested price..
Liquidity
The base funds themselves do not trade on any DEX or CEX; liquidity is mint/redeem against the fund, gated by whitelisting, with undisclosed behavior under stress..
Credibility
The investor's legal claim runs to the Anemoy offshore fund vehicle, not to the sub-advisor or to Centrifuge; the brand names do not change the counterparty..
Infrastructure maturity
The V3 architecture and most flagship funds are 2025-2026 vintage; operating history at current scale is short, and pre-migration track record belongs to the deprecated legacy system..
Avoid
Who This Is Not For
This section should be read as a filter, not an afterthought. If you need income, simplicity, or near-term access to capital, the structure is working against you.
US persons (retail or accredited)
The flagship funds are non-US offerings, accessed by whitelisted non-US wallets, and are not available to US persons in the ordinary course..
Investors who need a liquid, exitable position
The funds do not trade on any public market; exit is mint/redeem against the fund, gated by whitelisting, with no disclosed stress-redemption mechanics..
Anyone treating onchain NAV as an audited or transactable valuation
Published NAV is protocol-published from issuer/administrator accounting on illiquid underlying assets (especially for ACRDX private credit and JAAA CLO), not an independently market-tested or market-realizable price..
CFG token buyers seeking fund-performance exposure
CFG is a governance token, structurally separate from fund cash flows; it is not a proxy for the funds' performance..
Editorial View
AltStreet Perspective
The compressed version of the review: what matters, what marketing tends to obscure, and how we would frame the platform for a serious allocator.
Verdict
Centrifuge is one of the most credible pieces of onchain RWA infrastructure — a 2017-era protocol that survived its category's hype cycle and rebuilt itself onto native multichain EVM rails — and its Anemoy fund set, sub-advised by Janus Henderson and Apollo, is a genuine institutional offering. The decisive caveat is that these are non-US, whitelisted, non-trading funds whose NAV is protocol-published rather than independently market-tested. The transparency is real and unusual; liquidity and independent market price discovery are limited. Evaluate the rails and each fund separately, and treat onchain NAV on the credit funds as a manager's mark rather than an exit price.
Positioning
Best understood as institutional tokenization infrastructure plus a tiered set of non-US Anemoy funds (Treasuries, AAA CLO, Apollo private credit, S&P 500) — not as a retail yield marketplace, a single issuer, or a liquid token play. CFG is a separate, governance-only decision.
The Bottom Line
Centrifuge tokenizes other people's funds well; what you actually buy is an Anemoy fund on Centrifuge's rails, priced by a NAV you can see onchain but cannot sell into.
Action
Next Steps
If you still want to engage after reading the review, these are the practical next moves that reduce avoidable mistakes.
Decide which fund (not which protocol) you are evaluating — JTRSY, JAAA, ACRDX, and SPXA are four different risk profiles sharing one set of rails.
Confirm your eligibility for the specific fund (all are non-US; JTRSY/JAAA non-US professional, ACRDX non-US accredited) and complete the per-pool whitelisting/KYC before assuming access.
For the credit funds (JAAA, ACRDX), diligence the underlying as you would any structured- or private-credit allocation; verify whether the fund publishes audited financials and names an auditor and administrator.
Treat any CFG token decision as separate from a fund decision — it is governance exposure to the protocol, not a claim on fund cash flows.

ASReview Evidence
Methodology
Primary-source onchain ingestion + protocol documentation + partner disclosures. Per-fund NAV reconstructed from the public Centrifuge GraphQL API; TVL and token data from DefiLlama and CoinGecko; architecture from docs.centrifuge.io; fund partnerships from Janus Henderson, Apollo, S&P Dow Jones Indices, and Grove disclosures.
Scope
Centrifuge V3 protocol architecture, the CFG governance token, combined and per-chain protocol TVL, and the four flagship Anemoy funds (JTRSY, JAAA, ACRDX, SPXA) including per-fund onchain NAV history. Investor risk is product-specific; the platform is infrastructure, not a single issuer.
Key Findings
- *Per-fund onchain NAV ingested directly from the Centrifuge GraphQL API (tokenIssuance events): JTRSY, JAAA, ACRDX, SPXA — the authoritative price, since none of these funds trade on any public market.
- *Combined protocol TVL ~$1.64B (down from a $1.99B peak Apr 24, 2026) across ten chains, Ethereum-concentrated (~$1.05B); DefiLlama flags its own liquidity measurement as imperfect (wrongLiquidity).
- *V3 CFG token snapshot via the correct centrifuge-2 CoinGecko id: ~$0.20, ~$76M market cap, 380M circulating of 680M total, V3-era high $0.40 (Aug 2025), ATL $0.067 (Feb 2026).
- *Four asset tiers under one issuer (Anemoy): Treasuries (JTRSY), AAA CLO (JAAA), Apollo diversified credit (ACRDX), S&P 500 (SPXA), each with named TradFi sub-advisors (Janus Henderson, Apollo).
- *Funds are uniformly non-US and whitelisted; deRWA wrappers (deJAAA/deJTRSY/deSPXA/deCRDX) provide DeFi composability on Base but are distinct, thinly-held tokens.
- *Centrifuge's related SEC transfer-agent registration is a narrow footprint for tokenized-securities administration and corporate actions — not fund-level US registration or investor protection; the protocol itself is otherwise unregistered.
AltStreet Data Layer
Four flagship funds, four asset tiers, onchain NAV from the issuer's own protocol accounting
AltStreet's Centrifuge data layer covers the platform record (V3 architecture), the CFG token (snapshot + 370-record V3 price history), combined and per-chain protocol TVL (2,082 daily records), and four flagship deal records (JTRSY, JAAA, ACRDX, SPXA) each with per-fund onchain NAV history reconstructed from the Centrifuge GraphQL API. There are no realized exits to track — these are open, NAV-accreting, non-trading funds.
- JTRSY (Treasuries): NAV $1.0962 → $1.1075 over 56 unique days; current ~$1.108.
- JAAA (AAA CLO): NAV $1.0256 → $1.0387 over 48 days; current ~$1.039; ~42% single-month TVL drawdown to ~$416M.
- ACRDX (Apollo private credit): current NAV ~$1.018; sparse issuance history (small, young fund).
- SPXA (S&P 500 equity): NAV ranged ~$0.994 (inception) to ~$1.10; moves with the index, current ~$1.094.
- CFG (governance): ~$0.20, ~$76M mcap, 380M/680M circulating; V3-era high $0.40, ATL $0.067.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
High-intent search questions answered directly, without making users hunt through the full review.
Is Centrifuge an investment I can buy directly?
No. Centrifuge is infrastructure, not an issuer. What you buy is a fund built on Centrifuge's rails — the flagship funds are issued by Anemoy (Centrifuge's affiliated asset manager) and sub-advised by Janus Henderson or Apollo. Your claim is to the fund vehicle, not to Centrifuge or to the CFG token.
Can US investors access the Centrifuge flagship funds?
Generally no. JTRSY, JAAA, ACRDX, and SPXA are non-US offerings (JTRSY/JAAA non-US professional, ACRDX non-US accredited), accessed by whitelisted non-US wallets after KYC/AML. They are not available to US persons in the ordinary course.
Do the funds trade, and how is their price set?
They do not trade on any DEX or CEX — they are KYC-gated mint/redeem instruments. Their price is the fund's NAV, computed and published onchain through Centrifuge's protocol accounting (visible via its public GraphQL API). That NAV is protocol-published from issuer/administrator accounting, not a market-traded price.
What is the difference between JTRSY, JAAA, ACRDX, and SPXA?
They are four different asset tiers under one issuer: JTRSY holds US Treasuries, JAAA holds AAA CLO tranches, ACRDX feeds Apollo's diversified private-credit strategy, and SPXA tracks the S&P 500. They share Centrifuge's rails and Anemoy's issuance but have materially different risk profiles — a Treasury fund is not comparable to a private-credit fund.
Is the CFG token a way to invest in the funds' growth?
No. CFG is a governance token for the Centrifuge protocol and DAO. It is not a claim on any fund's cash flows, and the mechanism by which fund growth might accrue to CFG is not transparently documented. The token traded around $0.20 in mid-2026, roughly 50% below its V3-era high.
Did Centrifuge change its blockchain?
Yes. In 2025 (governance proposals CP 141 and CP 149) Centrifuge migrated from its legacy Polkadot/Substrate chain to a native multichain EVM architecture (Centrifuge V3) and consolidated its CFG token into a single Ethereum-native ERC-20, deprecating the legacy chain and wrapped WCFG. Most current funds and the V3 contracts are 2025-2026 vintage.
