Centrifuge deployed three tokenized fixed-income funds from Janus Henderson and New York Life Investment Management onto the Arc blockchain on October 1, 2026, expanding the institutional product shelf on the network less than three weeks after its public mainnet opened.

The deployment brings Janus Henderson's JTRSY and JAAA funds, alongside a new high-yield corporate bond vehicle called HYB, onto Arc as ERC-4626 compliant vaults. Arc's public mainnet opened on September 16, 2026.

What does Arc's product shelf now look like?

The three funds cover distinct corners of the fixed-income market. JTRSY provides exposure to US Treasuries. JAAA tracks AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations, the senior tranche of pooled corporate loans that takes priority in the repayment waterfall. HYB, the newest addition to Centrifuge's lineup, gives the platform its first on-chain exposure to high-yield corporate credit.

Research published with the deployment characterized the integration as one that expands collateral and yield options for developers in Arc's ecosystem "right after launch," and could draw additional institutional capital on-chain while setting a precedent for asset managers weighing similar migrations.

Why ERC-4626 matters for builders

All three Arc-listed funds ship as ERC-4626 vaults, the Ethereum token standard for yield-bearing deposits. Any application built to that interface can deposit, withdraw and read balances without custom integration code per fund. For Arc, which was designed for stablecoin-native transactions with a focus on institutional financial markets, ERC-4626 compatibility lowers the engineering cost for lending markets, structured products and treasury operations that want to treat the funds as plug-and-yield collateral.

The vault standard also unifies accounting. A lending protocol that has already integrated an ERC-4626 interface for one asset can route JAAA, JTRSY or HYB through the same deposit and withdraw functions, with risk parameters adjusted per tranche.

What risk should developers price in?

HYB introduces a credit profile absent from Centrifuge's existing lineup. Tokenized Treasuries have circulated on-chain through multiple protocols, and AAA-rated CLO tranches carry relatively tight default risk. High-yield corporate credit moves in a different regime, with higher potential returns and higher default risk than the Treasury and AAA-rated CLO products Centrifuge has previously listed.

Research accompanying the deployment flagged that widening, noting that developers using HYB as collateral will need to price in the extra risk carefully. Centrifuge framed the new product as carrying through-cycle credit risk rather than money-market-equivalent exposure.

Where Centrifuge sits in the multi-chain map

Arc joins Base and BNB Chain on Centrifuge's deployment list. The platform reports total value locked of approximately $1.5 billion to $2 billion, with Arc hosting a portion of that figure from day one. CFG, Centrifuge's governance token, registered modest positive price activity following the announcement, though the deployment is a distribution event rather than a token-economics change.

What to watch next

Arc's mainnet is roughly two weeks old. The structural test for institutional adoption is whether secondary trading, redemption workflows and compliance attestations on Arc match the operational cadence of the same funds on Ethereum mainnet. Centrifuge's Treasury and credit products are the first named institutional allocations the network has published since launch. The next milestone to track is whether additional asset managers announce similar deployments through the fourth quarter.
