Avalanche Secures $250M RWA Boost Through Grove and Janus Henderson Funds

Tokenized Treasury and CLO Funds Now Live on Avalanche

The Avalanche blockchain has taken a major step forward in the real-world asset (RWA) space, with $250 million in institutional-grade products launching via Grove, in partnership with Janus Henderson Anemoy, a $373 billion asset management firm.

Grove will deploy two tokenized funds — JAAA and JTRSY — on Avalanche, significantly expanding its RWA footprint.

The move positions Avalanche as a serious competitor in the growing RWA market, long dominated by Ethereum.

What Are the New Funds?

The new products include:

• Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund (JAAA) – Offers exposure to collateralized loan obligations, a major fixed-income asset class.
• Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund (JTRSY) – Provides actively managed access to short-term U.S. Treasurys, currently holding over $408 million in assets.

Both funds are issued on-chain via Centrifuge, a tokenization platform also used to deploy tokenized versions of the S&P 500 Index and other major financial instruments.

These onchain assets bridge traditional finance and DeFi, offering institutions blockchain-based access to secure, yield-generating investments.

Why It Matters for Avalanche

Before this launch, Avalanche hosted $195 million worth of RWAs. With the $250 million boost, its total tokenized asset base more than doubles, making it one of the top alternative networks for RWAs.

This marks a pivotal expansion of Avalanche’s institutional capabilities beyond DeFi-native applications.

While Ethereum still leads with 59% of the RWA market, newer chains like Aptos, Solana, and Stellar are quickly catching up as tokenization becomes a central crypto trend.

Who’s Behind Grove?

Grove is a product of Grove Labs, incubated under Sky (formerly MakerDAO), and backed by Steakhouse Financial — a DeFi advisory firm specializing in stablecoins and real-world integrations. The firm also plays a strategic role in the Morpho lending ecosystem.

Avalanche Steps Into Institutional Arena

This $250 million deployment signals a clear evolution of Avalanche into a real-world financial infrastructure chain, not just a smart contract platform.

With institutional partnerships, tokenized Treasurys, and strong DeFi integrations, Avalanche is positioning itself at the forefront of RWA adoption.
