Anemoy, the asset management arm of Centrifuge, has announced a strategic partnership with Archax, the UK’s first regulated digital securities exchange, broker, and custodian. This partnership will add the Liquid Treasury Fund (LTF) to Archax’s Primary Platform, allowing users to access tokenized US Treasury bills directly through the platform. Managed by Janus Henderson Investors, the Liquid Treasury Fund offers a low-risk, short-duration treasury bill portfolio for institutional investors seeking stable, passive investment strategies.
This collaboration aims to broaden distribution for tokenized assets, providing a seamless way for investors to engage in on-chain investments in US Treasury bills—one of the most familiar asset classes in traditional finance. By leveraging Anemoy’s asset management expertise and Archax’s regulatory-compliant platform, the partnership enhances accessibility and ease of use for investors.
Expanding Access to Tokenized Treasury Bills
Archax users will now be able to access the Liquid Treasury Fund directly for primary market transactions, streamlining the investment process while ensuring compliance through Know Your Customer (KYC) and sub-custodial services managed by Archax. The platform aims to offer an attractive alternative to holding stablecoins or fiat currencies by providing direct exposure to US Treasury bills.
Anil Sood, Co-Founder of Anemoy, emphasized the importance of the partnership in making high-quality, tokenized real-world assets accessible to a broader network of investors. “Archax users can now earn potential returns through exposure to US Treasury bills directly on the platform, offering an alternative to holding stablecoins or fiat and enabling more passive and stable strategies,” said Sood.
The collaboration is powered by Centrifuge’s tokenization infrastructure, enabling the seamless management and distribution of tokenized assets, while Archax’s platform provides the necessary regulatory framework and market access. This marks a significant step in the growth of the Liquid Treasury Fund, offering institutional investors a compliant and secure way to diversify their portfolios.
Bridging Traditional and Digital Finance
Simon Barnby, Chief Marketing Officer at Archax, expressed excitement about the partnership, noting its role in advancing the integration of real-world assets into the on-chain ecosystem. “We are thrilled to be working with Anemoy, Centrifuge, and Janus Henderson to offer our users access to tokenized treasury bills. This collaboration reflects our ongoing mission to integrate real-world assets into the on-chain ecosystem, empowering our users to diversify their portfolios with institutional-grade products,” Barnby said.
Centrifuge’s Chief Marketing Officer, Bhaji Illuminati, also highlighted the benefits of broader distribution and streamlined access to funds, praising Archax as a pioneer in the evolving crypto markets.
As the partnership evolves, the three companies are committed to continuing to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), expanding their offerings with regulated, institutional-grade products. The Liquid Treasury Fund, the first tokenized treasury fund available on Archax, sets the stage for future products designed to offer investors secure, high-quality digital assets.
