Centrifuge Token Holder Update
(Q4 2025)
Dear Centrifuge supporters,
Looking back, 2025 was a defining year for Centrifuge. Over twelve months, we migrated to EVM, built our bench of institutional hires and partners, scaled Anemoy operations, launched a DeFi connectivity layer, and consolidated the equity business to align fully around the CFG token. We grew the team by 11 across DeFi BD, asset management, engineering, and marketing. As a result, TVL increased from $50m to over $1b and Centrifuge is once again viewed as a leader in RWA.
2025 was about laying the foundation. 2026 is about execution and scale. We’re ready.
Please join us January 29th for our first Quarterly Investor Update. We’ll share 2025 results and revenue, where we stand today, how we’re thinking about 2026, and host a live Q&A.

Centrifuge Token Holder Update
(Q3 2025)
Dear Centrifuge supporters,
Hopefully everyone survived the weekend okay, and hopefully Yano’s right here.
Q3 was a monumental quarter for Centrifuge. We went beyond headlines to real KPIs and are now the 3rd largest RWA issuer and largest institutional fund (JAAA). We also launched funds with Apollo and S&P.
The team has been heads down executing, focused on speed and capturing market share during this decisive window for RWAs. Today, I published a proposal to the DAO to consider transitioning operational execution to Centrifuge Labs under the oversight of the Centrifuge Network Foundation (CNF) - a structure designed to increase transparency, accelerate decision-making, and strengthen CFG value accrual. There is one value accrual mechanism: CFG.
To your regularly scheduled programming:

- JTRSY received a rating upgrade from A+ to AA+ by Particula, reaffirming JTRSY’s standing as one of the top institutional-grade tokenized funds available onchain.

Centrifuge Token Holder Update
(Q4 2024)
Dear Centrifuge supporters,
As we enter 2025, a favorable regulatory environment, institutional capital inflows, and the rising maturity of onchain markets will converge to solidify RWAs as the cornerstone of crypto's integration with traditional finance. Against this backdrop, Centrifuge is uniquely positioned to spearhead the institutional adoption of tokenization and capitalize on the opportunities it presents.
Q4 included our landmark event of the year, the RWA Summit in New York, which has become widely regarded as the best RWA industry event. In 2024, we hosted 5 RWA Summits globally, resulting in 5k new leads and a strong BD funnel. The event series is now cashflow positive through sponsorship and ticket sale revenue.
