On Tuesday, August 26, Republic Digital <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/centrifuge.io\/blog\/republic-digital-makes-strategic-investment-in-centrifuge-to-accelerate-the-future-of-tokenized-finance\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> a strategic investment in Centrifuge, via its Opportunistic Digital Assets Fund. Republic Digital and Centrifuge did not disclose the total value of the investment.<\/p>\n<p>According to Republic Digital, this investment reflects its commitment to the future of tokenized assets. Moreover, its CEO, Joe Naggar, praised Centrifuge\u2019s JAAA collateralized loan obligations ETF, released last year. This type of investment vehicle is usually reserved for Wall Street investors, but is now available to the public.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cTokenized treasuries have captured a lot of attention lately, but now the question is what comes next. Centrifuge delivered that answer with JAAA. They\u2019re not just experimenting, they\u2019re executing. The infrastructure is live, the products are functioning, and the market is only beginning to grasp the scale of what this team has built. Our investment reflects strong conviction in both their leadership and long-term vision,\u201d Joe Naggar, CEO and CIO of Republic Digital. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Centrifuge\u2019s TVL grows 10x in six months to $1.2B <\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cTokenization is not merely a trend, it\u2019s the long-term architecture of modern finance. We\u2019ve 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,\u201d Bhaji Illuminati, CEO of Centrifuge. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republic Digital made a strategic investment in RWA firm Centrifuge via its Opportunistic Digital Assets Fund.
