  • The expansion utilizes Centrifuge's "deRWA tokens" standard.
  • Users can swap, lend, or use deJTRSY as collateral on Solana DeFi platforms.
  • Initial platforms include Raydium, Kamino, and Lulo for earning yield from short-term Treasuries.
  • The tokenized asset market is projected to reach $18.9 trillion by 2033.
  • Solana Foundation partnered with R3 to enhance real-world assets on Solana.
  • Apollo credit assets will also be introduced to Solana-based DeFi protocols.

Bhaiji Illuminati, CEO of Centrifuge, emphasized the importance of providing utility for real-world assets in DeFi from the outset.
