Centrifuge wrapped 2024 strong. From celebrating successful partnerships in onchain excellence to receiving industry accolades, Q4 reinforced our leadership in real-world assets and positioned us for continued success in the year ahead. Now we’re back from a restful holiday period, it’s time to take a look back at the key highlights from last quarter.
One of Centrifuge’s notable achievements was enabling the first credit fund, BlockTower, to operate onchain. In Q4, we released a case study highlighting how BlockTower utilized our platform to tokenize 92 assets into NFTs, create structured credit pools, and automate critical processes—setting a new benchmark for onchain securitization. By leveraging blockchain technology, they overcame inefficiencies inherent in traditional financial systems and achieved remarkable results, including a 97% reduction in securitization costs.
Centrifuge won the Institutional Asset Manager award for Best Technology Provider and Anemoy received the award for Best Digital Assets Service Provider.
Speaking of Anemoy, Q4 brought milestone announcements for the Centrifuge-powered asset manager, including:
We hosted our second annual flagship Real-World Asset Summit at The William Vale in Brooklyn on October 22 & 23. Double the days, double the hot takes. From there, our team made their last stop of the year in Bangkok for a jampacked Devcon, where we spoke at Stable Summit, Aave’s DeFi Renaissance Day and Blockchain Oracle Summit.
We announced an integration with Fireblocks, making Centrifuge available to their 2,000 institutional counterparties.
We continued to enhance the liquidity of the RWA market by introducing new CFG incentives to the LTF/USDC lending market on Morpho. With these incentives, the RWA Market is poised to continue to grow in 2025, creating more opportunities for liquidity providers and borrowers.
Our app got a new look and feel. More of this to come in 2025.
