Centrifuge Launches Game-Changing deRWA on Stellar with $20M Anchor Investment in Tokenized Treasuries

Real-world assets just went interstellar—Centrifuge rockets tokenized treasuries onto Stellar's blockchain with a massive $20 million anchor investment.

The DeFi Revolution Hits Traditional Finance

Forget boring old bond markets—Centrifuge's deployment slices through traditional finance bureaucracy like a hot knife through butter. This isn't just another crypto experiment; it's a full-scale invasion of real-world assets hitting the blockchain frontier.

$20 Million Says This Isn't a Test

That anchor investment isn't pocket change—it's a statement. Institutional money's finally waking up to what crypto natives knew all along: tokenization doesn't just streamline processes; it completely rewires how value moves across global markets.

Stellar Gets Serious About RWA

While other chains play with speculative junk, Stellar just landed the heavyweight champion of real-world asset tokenization. Centrifuge doesn't just talk decentralization—it delivers working infrastructure that actually connects to something beyond crypto echo chambers.

Because apparently traditional finance needed blockchain to finally figure out how to move money efficiently—who knew?

This changes everything for institutional DeFi adoption. The dam's breaking, and $20 million is just the first trickle before the flood.

Integration Across the Stellar Ecosystem

From day one, the deRWA products will be integrated into the Stellar ecosystem through partnerships with major DeFi applications. Aquarius and Soroswap will provide 24/7 trading, Blend will allow borrowing and lending powered by deRWAs, and DeFIndex will support yield-backed savings products.

This latest integration reinforces Stellar’s growing role in the RWA sector. The network currently ranks second globally in tokenized treasuries and recorded $4.2 billion in quarterly RWA payment volume.

The most commonly cited blockchain that ranks first in tokenized U.S. Treasuries (ahead of Stellar) is Ethereum, according to a CoinGecko report on RWAs.

BlackRock’s BUIDL has managed to cement itself as the largest tokenized treasury product, with a 44% market share as of April 2025. Since the start of 2025, it has already grown by +372.8%, to end April with $2.5 billion in treasuries.

Industry Leaders Voice Support

“Centrifuge has established itself as one of the most trusted names in real-world assets, with a proven track record of bringing institutional-quality products onchain,” said Denelle Dixon, CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation.

“By launching deJTRSY and deJAAA on Stellar with a world-class group of partners, we’re opening new distribution channels through consumer apps across emerging markets,” said Bhaji Illuminati, CEO of Centrifuge.

A Critical Inflection Point for DeFi

The launch of deRWA on Stellar represents more than the arrival of two new products. It shows a broader industry trend: the shift from speculative crypto markets to sustainable, real-world asset-backed finance. Built on Centrifuge V3and supported by LayerZero for cross-chain capital flow, the integration combines trust, transparency, and scale.

This latest launch highlights a pivotal moment for crypto. Growth is expected not just from new asset classes, but also from new distribution channels.
