The open infrastructure for onchain asset management

Collaboration with Centrifuge and Anemoy represents a significant step forward in bridging traditional and decentralized finance by bringing robust institutional collateral pools into the decentralized autonomous organization and stablecoin ecosystems.

Blockchain technology has a long-held promise to overhaul the plumbing of the world’s financial services. To this end, BlockTower is excited to support the Centrifuge team as they democratize access to and generate efficiencies in the securitization industry; we believe these strategic partnerships are essential to usher in the future of finance.

This integration not only advances DeFi but it also brings many benefits to the MakerDAO ecosystem. By diversifying the collateral backing DAI and adding non-crypto related assets, it increases the DAI safety and makes it extremely stable. This move will also help MakerDAO meet the increasing demand of DAI by tapping in a multi trillion-dollar asset class.

The Centrifuge team is a leader in real-world asset tokenization, taking a deeply thoughtful approach to design decisions around legal, regulatory, and smart contract architecture. We believe we're reaching an inflection point in institutional adoption and are excited to double down with the Centrifuge team.

We firmly believe that Centrifuge is poised to claim significant portions of this market. Having pioneered their category, the team demonstrates unwavering resilience through many years of commitment across several market cycles. Their expertise in navigating the intricacies of integrating real-world assets into decentralized finance is unparalleled.

The RWA Market is a much needed building block not only for protocols such as Aave, but across DeFi as a whole. Knocking down barriers of entry and making DeFi accessible to all is part of the Aave Companies’ vision, and we are excited to be fulfilling this through the collateralization of real-world assets, made possible by Centrifuge.
