Five years ago,
@IOSGVC was the first institution to back
@Centrifuge, and one of the few willing to touch real-world assets at all. Bringing RWAs onchain looked too early, and too unclear, to most people at the time.
I’ve watched a lot of projects rise and fall since. Centrifuge is one of the few that truly endured. Today it has grown into one of the leading RWA tokenization and issuance platforms out of the US, licensed by S&P to issue onchain index funds and now expanding into onchain equities.
We first invested in 2021, added to our position in 2024, and have continued to increase it since. Not because of a narrative cycle, but because we have always believed Centrifuge would become core infrastructure for institutional onchain finance.
This time, we are bringing it to Asia together, and to the traditional financial institutions across the region that are increasingly looking for a credible, compliant path onchain. Grateful that IOSG gets to keep building something long-term, alongside a team worth betting on.
