Centrifuge Crosses $1 Billion in TVL as XRP, Litecoin, and New Crypto Platforms Surge

Updated: Aug 18, 2025 | 02:40 PM IST

Centrifuge, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, has surpassed $1.1 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL), marking a major milestone in the tokenized-assets space. The growth is largely driven by investor demand for its Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund (JAAA), which provides tokenized exposure to AAA-rated corporate loan–backed securities.

Centrifuge’s Breakthrough

The JAAA fund currently manages over $653 million on-chain, offering investors access to high-quality, loan-backed assets with returns around 5.10% annually. This achievement underlines the broader adoption of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) among both institutional and retail participants.

Broader Market Trends

• XRP is gaining following the U.S. SEC’s withdrawal of appeals against Ripple.
• Litecoin (LTC) shows renewed momentum, supported by increased mining activity.
• Pepeto Exchange is attracting attention with a zero-fee trading model and cross-chain functionality.

Global Crypto Developments

• Binance has listed new USDC trading pairs and rolled out support for the Fusionist (ACE) network upgrade.
• In Thailand, a new Tourist Wallet aims to simplify QR-based crypto payments for travelers, with conversion features pending regulatory approval.

Why It Matters

Centrifuge’s record TVL highlights accelerating demand for tokenized real-world assets, while continued innovation across altcoins, exchanges, and payment networks signals sustained momentum for the global cryptocurrency sector.
