2024 has been an incredible year for Centrifuge and Anemoy. In years past, our co-founder Lucas Vogelsang would highlight some of the wins we had each year – here's an example from 2022. We thought bringing this back would be a fun way to reflect and celebrate all we accomplished this year.

It's been a big year. We announced partnerships, integrations, and new products to keep up with increasing market demand. We helped push forward education and adoption of tokenized assets while working to educate the wider industry so we can bring the next trillion dollars of assets onchain.

It's hard to summarize everything that happened this year in one post. In chronological order, here are some highlights…

1. We spearheaded the expansion of the Tokenized Asset Coalition, adding 15 new members – including Polygon Labs, Chainlink Labs, and Fireblocks – and unveiling its State of Tokenization Report.

2. We partnered with Crypto custodian Finoa to offer access to tokenized t-bills to the more than 300 crypto institutions that custody with Finoa.

3. We brought t-bills to the Celo ecosystem, after Celo allocated $1 million in Anemoy's Liquid Treasury Fund, as more investors look to gain low-risk yield from compliant issuers.

4. We raised more than $15 million in an oversubscribed Series A funding round, led by ParaFi Capital and Greenfield. We've been using this investment to meet accelerated demand for institutional DeFi, grow our team, and bring TradFi institutions onchain.

5. Centrifuge brought in two great new leaders, Julia Merkel, formerly the CFO at BlueYard as COO, and Sonam Joshi, formerly of Amazon, as head of product.

6. Anemoy acquired NBRHD Capital, bringing Anil Sood, a capital markets exec with deep TradFi experience as a co-founder. Anil has two decades of experience in operational, trading and distribution in capital markets.

7. Centrifuge set the benchmark for reporting features – offering unprecedented onchain transparency thanks to a suite of new reporting insights in our app.

8. Centrifuge and Anemoy submitted a bid for the Spark Tokenization Grand Prix. The winners have yet to be announced.

9. Anemoy partnered with Janus Henderson, a global financial services firm with $360 billion in assets, to manage the Anemoy Liquid Treasury Fund. This partnership marked Janus Henderson's first step into blockchain-powered institutional asset management.

10. Anemoy launched the DeFi Yield Fund (DYF), a tokenized, market-neutral fund offering diversified DeFi yield exposure through strategies like yield farming and arbitrage - regulated by the BVI Financial Services Commission.

11. Centrifuge, Anemoy, and Archax partnered to expand access to tokenized real-world asset investments, allowing Archax users to invest in t-bills through Anemoy’s Liquid Treasury fund.

12. Centrifuge pioneered a lending market with Morpho and Coinbase – allowing lending and borrowing against Anemoy’s Liquid Treasury Fund. This represented the first RWA lending market with Morpho on Base.

13. Anemoy partnered with Chronicle for real-time data of its onchain treasuries fund – providing enhanced transparency, price updates, and third-party verification, enabling insight into the onchain fund's portfolio and fund flows.

14. GnosisDAO surpassed $3M invested in RWAs via Centrifuge Prime, gaining access to diversified, high-yield sources uncorrelated to crypto volatility, leveraging Centrifuge’s tokenization, legal infrastructure, and ongoing support for decentralized organizations.

15. We held our second annual flagship Real-World Asset Summit in New York, which featured a range of distinguished guests including Laura Shin, Scottie Pippen, and Anthony Scaramucci. We expanded the event series globally, putting on sell-out events throughout the year in Austin, Brussels, Dubai and Singapore!

16. Anemoy's Liquid Treasury Fund became the first tokenized fund rated by both Moody's and Particula, receiving the highest ratings ever awarded to a tokenized fund by each agency.

17. You may have seen us all over the world – as we spoke at numerous conferences from ETHDenver to TOKEN2049 and everywhere in between. Check out some of the session recordings here.

18. This year Centrifuge [co-authored](https://centrifuge.mirror.xyz/55xAwYhUBB9jHNFytS4u3jsG6HEkDzBljl253oEojBs ?) ERC-7540, extending ERC-4626 to standardize asynchronous investment flows for real-world assets – boosting DeFi efficiency and composability.

19. Centrifuge integrated with Fireblocks – making Centrifuge available to Fireblocks' 2,000 institutional counterparties. The move empowered Centrifuge asset managers to launch and manage funds using Fireblocks to custody both Centrifuge-native RWAs and its CFG token.

20. Anemoy launched its first-of-its-kind Liquidity Network, providing 24/7/365 instant redemptions. The network also provides scalable liquidity solutions for RWAs - helping to bring together TradFi principles with DeFi innovation.

21. Anemoy's Liquid Treasury Fund became a top 10 issuer of treasuries, according to RWA.xyz.

22. Centrifuge was named the Best Technology Provider across Front, Middle, and Back Office categories by the Institutional Asset Manager awards, alongside companies like BNY Mellon, PwC, and Northern Trust. Anemoy was named the Best Digital Assets Service Provider in the same awards.

23. We announced our 2025 RWA Summit lineup, taking place in Miami in January, Denver in February, July in Cannes, and September in New York City.

24. But perhaps the thing we are most grateful for this year is our DAO and partners. We could not have done any of this without the continued support and belief in the wider Centrifuge community. Every day you shape Centrifuge – and in turn, help shape the financial systems of the future.

It's been a great year. Stay tuned for a lot of news to come in 2025!
