Centrifuge Debuts Tokenized Onchain S&P 500 Index Fund

Centrifuge partnered with S&P Dow Jones Indices (DJI) to mint the first tokenized S&P 500 Index fund on its blockchain platform. The fund is set to debut at the RWA Summit in Cannes on July 1, 2025, offering direct onchain exposure to the financial instrument through smart contracts.

Institutional Indexing Meets DeFi: Anemoy Launches Onchain Fund

Web3 asset manager Anemoy Capital secured the first license to issue the Janus Henderson Anemoy S&P 500 Index Fund Segregated Portfolio using Centrifuge's proof-of-index infrastructure. Licensed asset managers can now build onchain index products that meet institutional standards while accessing DeFi's composability features.

The fund leverages official S&P DJI data feeds and smart-contract logic on Centrifuge's network to automate index tracking and settlement. The initiative bridges traditional finance and DeFi by making the equity index programmable, transparent and accessible around the clock.

It's about taking everything we learned in traditional markets and reimagining it with programmability, transparency, and global, 24/7 accessibility,

added Centrifuge’s Anil Sood.

Centrifuge’s Index Exposure for 24/7 DeFi Markets

The tokenized S&P 500 Index Fund allows investors to buy, hold, trade, use as collateral or integrate index exposure into automated strategies without intermediaries. Centrifuge's proof-of-index model standardizes how tokenized index products access and verify official data feeds.

Today is the start of an exciting chapter that extends The 500™ into new use cases and users across the globe,

said Cameron Drinkwater, chief product officer at S&P Dow Jones Indices.

The S&P 500 sees over $1 trillion in daily trading across ETFs, derivatives and other products but has never before been available as a fully onchain instrument. The launch addresses concerns over data integrity in DeFi by providing secure, verifiable access to established financial benchmarks.
