Following BlackRock and Fidelity, a firm that manages $300 billion is also starting to tokenize
Janus Henderson, which has $300 billion in assets under management, is also entering the world of tokenization. The company will undertake the management of an $11 million fund called "Anemoy Liquid Treasury Fund" that tokenizes short-term US Treasury bonds.
London-based investment management firm Janus Henderson is joining the tokenization field, which giants have recently entered, in order to expand its investor base. According to the news from the British media Financial Times, the firm will take over the management of the $11 million Anemoy Liquid Treasury Fund.
This fund, which invests in short-term US Treasury bonds, tokenizes shares using blockchain technology, allowing investors to invest in small portions.
“We are preparing for the future”
Nick Cherney, head of innovation at Janus Henderson, stated to the Financial Times that they are now preparing for the future as a company and that is why they have stepped into the world of tokenization:
“We see a great opportunity in tokenization for the future of financial systems. Because we think that the architecture of these systems will largely shift to distributed ledger technology.”
As you may recall, American giants BlackRock, Fidelity and Franklin Templeton have also previously joined the field called “on-chain capital markets”. It is known that the 3 companies tokenized (tokenized) bond and money market funds.
Everyone heard about BlackRock!
BlackRock, which manages more than $10 trillion in assets, announced the BUIDL fund at the beginning of last year. This clearly showed the interest of large companies in the world of tokenization. Company CEO Larry Fink has also said many times, “The future is in tokenization.”
