Republic Digital Joins Tokenization Revolution with Strategic Investment in RWA Trailblazer Centrifuge

Tokenization just got another heavyweight backer—and traditional finance might want to pay attention.

Republic Digital doubles down on real-world assets

The investment arm plunges into Centrifuge's ecosystem, betting that real-world assets—from invoices to real estate—represent crypto's next frontier. No vague promises here; this move signals institutional confidence that tokenization isn't just coming—it's already rewriting finance's rulebook.

Centrifuge leads where banks hesitate

While traditional institutions still debate blockchain integration, Centrifuge builds infrastructure that actually works. Their platform tokenizes assets, provides liquidity, and—unlike some legacy players—doesn't take three days to settle a transaction.

Why this stings traditional finance

Another firm just bypassed Wall Street's gatekeepers. Who needs middlemen when code executes faster, cheaper, and without a 'facilitation fee'? Tokenization doesn't just optimize—it obsoletes.

Watch for more players to jump in. Because nothing inspires innovation like the fear of being left behind—or the scent of profits that bankers haven't yet figured out how to slice their cut from.

Centrifuge’s TVL grows 10x in six months to $1.2B

Centrifuge stated that the funding from Republic Digital will go toward making its RWAs transferable, composable, and liquid. So far, the total value of all real-world assets locked in on Centrifuge has reached $1.2 billion, up from $120 million six months ago.

“Tokenization is not merely a trend, it’s the long-term architecture of modern finance. We’ve spent years building the infrastructure to drive it, and with live products like JAAA, the shift from theory to execution is already underway. The next phase is about scaling access, liquidity, and composability,” Bhaji Illuminati, CEO of Centrifuge.
