- Centrifuge enables native RWA issuance on Ozean via regulated U.S. Treasury fund JTRSY.
- Port combines tokenized T-bills with RWAs for compliant, diversified DeFi yield access.
- Partnership expands DeFi access to institutional-grade assets without cross-chain fragmentation.
Blockchain infrastructure firm Ozean has partnered with Centrifuge to launch regulated real-world assets (RWAs) on Port, an on-chain exchange-traded pool (ETP) developed by Ozean. The effort begins with integrating JTRSY, a U.S. Treasury fund by Anemoy Capital and Janus Henderson, offering daily liquidity access to yield-generating T-bill investments.
The integration supports compliant user access to stable, tokenized assets and expands opportunities for asset managers to issue RWAs directly on Ozean.
Instead of bridging various interfaces for asset management seen in bridging models, this deployment integrates the Centrifuge infrastructure to issue assets natively on Ozean, making the fund processes and investors’ access more efficient.
JTRSY Launches on Ozean for On-Chain Yield
JTRSY, the Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund Segregated Portfolio, is the first asset made available through this collaboration. It is a fully regulated, actively managed fund that invests in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills. The fund provides daily liquidity and accrues yield directly to the token’s value, giving holders access to stable, low-risk returns.
The fund is already deployed across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Base, Celo, Arbitrum, and Fraxtal. With the addition of Ozean, JTRSY becomes accessible on another platform that supports compliant and transparent RWA investments.
Broader Integration of Tokenized Funds Expected
Following the initial deployment, the partnership is expected to bring more Centrifuge-enabled funds to Ozean. These future launches will aim to meet various yield preferences across investor profiles, contributing to the broader integration of tokenized finance in decentralized markets.
Port, Ozean’s ETP infrastructure, combines highly liquid assets like tokenized T-bills with traditionally illiquid RWAs. This structure supports instant credibility and dynamic yield generation while also reducing risk exposure through diversified asset pools.
Native Infrastructure for DeFi-Compatible RWAs
Ozean, built on the OP Stack and part of the Optimism Superchain, was developed by Clearpool to address inefficiencies in RWA protocols. It aims to simplify access to native yield for DeFi users and solve fragmented RWA solutions across platforms.
Centrifuge tokenization protocol integration into Ozean enables a native solution for asset managers to create and manage funds without the use of cross-chain bridges and other third-party connections. This model is expected to improve institutional and retail participants’ capital efficiency, access, and asset management.
Since its inception in 2017, Centrifuge has facilitated over $682 million in tokenized asset financing. Clearpool, the creator of Ozean, has originated over $750 million in institutional loans. Their partnership shows continued growth in using tokenized real-world assets in decentralized finance infrastructures.
