Centrifuge tokenizes Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund as JTRSY crosses $882M in assets
A tokenized US Treasury fund built on Centrifuge’s infrastructure has quietly become one of the largest onchain investment products in existence, with roughly $882 million in total asset value and the kind of credit rating that most DeFi protocols can only dream about.
JTRSY, the token representing the Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund, is delivering a 7-day APY of around 4.4% while giving holders real-time visibility into NAV, holdings, and performance metrics.
What JTRSY actually is
Centrifuge tokenized what was previously known as the Anemoy Liquid Treasury Fund, relaunching it as JTRSY on September 13, 2024. The fund invests in short-duration US Treasury bills with maturities between zero and three months, with Janus Henderson serving as sub-advisor.
The fund operates as an ERC-7540 vault on Centrifuge’s platform, a token standard designed specifically for tokenized real-world assets that need structured deposit and redemption flows. Settlement happens through USDC rails, and the system uses real-time proof-of-reserves and NAV oracles to keep everything transparent.
Subscriptions and redemptions happen same-day for whitelisted investors. The annual management fee sits at 25 basis points, deducted directly from NAV. As of early August 2026, the NAV per token is $1.11 with approximately 30 holders on the books.
The fund is designed for professional non-US investors and operates under British Virgin Islands regulatory oversight. The fund crossed $1 billion in AUM during Q1 2026 before settling to its current level.
The rating that turned heads
In March 2025, S&P Global Ratings assigned JTRSY an AA+f/S1+ rating. That made it the highest-rated tokenized fund in existence at the time, according to S&P’s own framework.
The fund also carries ratings from Moody’s and Particula, a newer ratings agency focused specifically on tokenized products. S&P’s assessment highlighted the fund’s operational resilience, pointing to its use of multisig wallets and what the agency considered an efficient tokenization framework.
Why this matters for DeFi and institutional adoption
Because JTRSY exists as an onchain token, it can theoretically be used as collateral in lending protocols — an AA+f-rated Treasury fund token pledged as collateral on a decentralized lending platform.
The fund’s structure, with same-day liquidity, real-time NAV tracking, and USDC settlement, removes many of the friction points that have historically kept traditional asset managers away from blockchain rails.
Janus Henderson’s involvement as sub-advisor is notable. The firm manages hundreds of billions in assets globally and has attached its name to this tokenized product.
At 4.4% APY on what is essentially a tokenized T-bill fund, JTRSY competes directly with both traditional money market funds and DeFi yield products. The competitive landscape for tokenized Treasuries includes BlackRock’s BUIDL fund and Franklin Templeton’s BENJI among the notable entrants.

Goldman Sachs Global Stock Market Outlook: AI Capital Expenditure to Peak Next Year, Earnings Growth to "Slow Down Significantly", Cloud Giants Become "Defensive Assets"
Goldman Sachs’ 2027 Global Equity Strategy points out that the AI capital expenditure boom is nearing its peak, and global profit growth will slow significantly. S&P 500 earnings growth is expected to drop from 36% to 11%, with depreciation pressures gradually emerging. However, cloud giants’ valuations have adjusted to a forward P/E of 19.7, lower than the staples sector, and are classified as “relatively defensive” assets. Goldman Sachs predicts an S&P 500 target of 8,700 points and suggests overweighting the US and Japan, while underweighting Europe.
With $135 billion worth of Nvidia stock, will Jensen Huang cash out?
After Jensen Huang stepped down, his Nvidia holdings of approximately 812 million shares, valued at $135 billion, became a major pressure on the stock price. Any reduction in holdings is subject to both legal and market constraints: shares can only be sold compliantly after the disclosure of any undisclosed negative information, and the volume is equivalent to six trading days’ total market transactions, meaning large-scale cashouts would have to be spread over several months.
Will the traditional Christmas rally still happen in the US stock market this year?
After a simultaneous technical and position-based recovery in the US stock market, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan have successively signaled a year-end rebound. Extremely light positions, mean reversion of valuations, and seasonal support together create conditions for a short squeeze. However, global manufacturing import price inflation has annualized at around 24%, surpassing the pandemic peak, and the inflation bill will come due intensively in the first quarter of next year. Goldman Sachs warns that once the year-end rally materializes, it may exhaust future upside potential.
