Centrifuge Brings deRWA to Millions on EVM

Centrifuge, the leading platform for tokenized real-world assets, today announced that deRWA tokens are now live on Aerodrome, one of the largest decentralized exchanges in the EVM ecosystem. The launch makes deRWA accessible to tens of millions of users through Coinbase’s decentralized exchange (DEX) trading platform, OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet, and the Morpho lending market, placing tokenized RWAs into the venues where people already trade, swap, lend, and allocate capital.

“This is the inflection of connecting Centrifuge and deRWA tokens to become available everywhere,” said Bhaji Illuminati, CEO of Centrifuge. “We are already connected to platforms that collectively reach over 200 million users, and we are building toward a future where real-world assets are a visible and natural part of every DeFi experience.”

Unlocking the full utility of RWAs in DeFi comes from two key capabilities: the ability to trade them on exchanges and the ability to borrow against them in lending markets. With Morpho set to be one of the first venues supporting deJAAA as collateral, users will be able to not only hold and trade high-quality RWAs, but also leverage them to access onchain liquidity.

The first asset available in deRWA format is deJAAA, a freely transferable version of the Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund. With today’s launch, deJAAA is now accessible across major trading and lending venues in the EVM ecosystem, bringing institutional-grade credit strategies directly into everyday DeFi flows. Eligible Coinbase App users in select regions can now swap deJAAA directly via Coinbase’s DEX trading platform, while OKX Wallet’s 50 million users gain access through its self-custodial wallet and DEX aggregator. Bitget Wallet adds distribution to over 80 million DeFi users globally through its Super DEX aggregator.

Onchain liquidity is anchored on Aerodrome, the leading DEX on Base with over $1 billion in TVL, providing deep trading markets and native incentives for swaps. Beyond trading, deJAAA will also be supported on Morpho, the leading decentralized lending protocol, enabling holders to use their RWA positions as collateral to unlock liquidity, manage reserves, or access leverage, all while maintaining exposure to stable, institutional-grade yields.

Aerodrome co-founder Alex Cutler said: “Until now, Base liquidity has been dominated by DeFi-native assets. deRWA from Centrifuge changes that, introducing institutional-grade assets with stable yields natively integrated into DeFi.”

"The real power of tokenization is giving traditional assets instant composability with DeFi protocols and applications to expand distribution and tap into onchain liquidity,” said Paul Frambot, CEO of Morpho Labs. “Through Morpho, Centrifuge RWA holders can use their assets as collateral for loans or generate enhanced yields - capabilities that simply aren't accessible in traditional finance."

In the coming weeks, deRWA will expand to Ethereum Mainnet and Solana, along with additional major exchanges, wallets, and DeFi platforms, further broadening access and liquidity across leading blockchain ecosystems.
