$1B Floods Into Janus Henderson’s Tokenized CLO Strategy—Wall Street Takes Notice
Wall Street meets blockchain—again. Janus Henderson's freshly tokenized collateralized loan obligation (CLO) strategy just sucked up $1 billion in institutional capital. Who said TradFi wasn’t paying attention?
### The Tokenization Gold Rush Isn’t Slowing Down
Another day, another nine-figure stampede into crypto-structured assets. This time it’s CLOs—the same complex debt instruments that blew up in 2008—getting a Web3 facelift. The pitch? Liquidity, transparency, and that sweet 24/7 settlement crypto promises.
### Why Institutions Are Biting
Yield-starved asset managers will crawl over broken glass for 2% extra returns. Tokenization lets them repackage illiquid credit into tradable digital slices—with bonus points for blockchain’s ‘look, no hands!’ audit trails.
### The Cynical Take
Nothing unclogs a credit pipeline like slapping ‘tokenized’ on a prospectus. Remember when these same banks called DeFi ‘dangerous’? Now they’re racing to rebuild their own products—on-chain, with extra steps.
