Janus Henderson’s Tokenized CLO Strategy Attracts $1B Inflow via DeFi Protocol
Janus Henderson has channeled $1 billion into its newly tokenized Anemoy AAA CLO Strategy (JAAA) through Grove, a credit infrastructure DeFi protocol. The MOVE underscores accelerating convergence between traditional finance and decentralized ecosystems.
The asset manager previously partnered with Anemoy and Centrifuge to launch its first tokenized fund offering Treasury bill exposure last September. Nick Cherney, Janus Henderson's innovation head, emphasized the strategic importance of integrating institutional-grade collateral into DAOs and stablecoin environments.
CLOs represent a natural fit for DeFi given their yield characteristics and structural attributes. The underlying ETF strategy, launched in 2020, currently manages over $20 billion in assets.
