S&P Dow Jones Indices partners with Centrifuge to tokenize the S&P 500 Index, expanding into onchain investment products. Anemoy Capital and Janus Henderson will manage the Janus Henderson Anemoy S&P 500 Index Fund Segregated Portfolio. This collaboration aims to provide direct exposure to the iconic financial index within a blockchain ecosystem, fostering liquidity and transparency.
The collaboration combines S&P DJI’s S&P 500 Index and Centrifuge’s blockchain technology to create digital tokens representing index exposure. These tokens can be owned, used, and transferred through the blockchain, enhancing market accessibility. Future plans include embedding S&P DJI’s indices into DeFi protocols to offer equal market access to blockchain-native investors and traditional investors.
The move to bring the S&P 500 Index onchain signifies a shift in how institutional portfolios are constructed and accessed. Centrifuge and Anemoy aim to establish ‘onchain indices’ as a key asset allocation category in decentralized finance, providing institutional-grade products in a transparent and programmable infrastructure. The collaboration with S&P DJI opens up new opportunities for onchain finance.
S&P DJI’s introduction of tokenization expands its digital asset initiatives, complementing existing cryptocurrency indices. This diverse offering caters to market participants navigating the DeFi and digital asset space, providing a range of solutions to meet their investment needs.
