Janus Henderson, in partnership with Centrifuge, has introduced a tokenized fund tracking the Nasdaq-100 index on the Stellar blockchain, according to CoinTelegraph. This innovative product aims to provide eligible non-US investors with direct exposure to the Nasdaq-100 through blockchain technology.
The launch reflects Janus Henderson’s broader strategy to expand its institutional tokenization business, signaling growing interest among traditional asset managers in crypto-based investment solutions. By leveraging Stellar’s blockchain, the fund offers a novel way to access equity markets with enhanced transparency and accessibility.
For Japanese investors, this development highlights the increasing convergence of traditional equities and blockchain technology, which may influence how domestic market participants approach tokenized assets and cross-border investment opportunities.
