Centrifuge adds funds over time, so treat the Passage offer catalog as the source of truth rather than a fixed list. Each Centrifuge fund is one offer with type: "centrifuge::vault".

What it is

Centrifuge is an onchain asset management and tokenization platform. It brings funds from established managers onchain and issues them as deRWA tokens: ERC-20 tokens that carry a fund’s economic exposure and are built to move around DeFi. A deRWA token’s symbol is de followed by the fund’s ticker. Passage supports Centrifuge funds on Ethereum. Each offer lists the chains it is live on, so read them from the offer rather than from this page.

Ownership model

Wrapped exposure. A deRWA token wraps shares in the underlying fund. Your users get the fund’s returns, but they are not registered shareholders of the fund itself. The Janus Henderson Anemoy funds are BVI professional funds, run through Anemoy Capital SPC. The New York Life Investment Management (NYLIM) fund is a BVI segregated portfolio offered to non-US investors under Regulation S. Each fund holds the underlying Treasuries, CLOs, or corporate bonds, and Centrifuge issues the deRWA token against fund shares. That makes Centrifuge closer to Ondo than to Superstate: exposure to the asset rather than title to it.

How users buy

Through a request that the fund fills later, the way a mutual fund works off-chain. An order placed in a mutual fund during the day is not filled at once at a market price. It waits for the fund’s next dealing point, and every order in that batch is filled at the price the fund calculates then. A Centrifuge fund works the same way, which is the biggest difference from Ondo and Superstate, where tokens and stablecoins settle in a single transaction.
1

Request

The user deposits USDC. Their USDC leaves the wallet and joins the fund’s queue.
2

Fill

The fund fills the queue on its dealing schedule, at the price it sets then. A fill can be partial. See Fund schedules.
3

Claim

The user claims, and the deRWA tokens arrive in their wallet.
Selling runs the same way in reverse: the user requests a redemption with their tokens, the fund fills it, and the user claims USDC. Passage builds both the request and the claim screens. See Centrifuge Funds for the developer flow. Every request and every claim goes through a CoinList contract that only accepts transactions Passage has signed for that wallet.

Fund schedules

Each fund fills requests on its own schedule. The times below are typical, not guaranteed, and a large request can be filled in parts. CoinList charges a 0.5% fee on deposits into every Centrifuge fund, taken out of the deposit rather than added on top. Redemptions and claims carry no CoinList fee. Users can place a request at any time, including weekends and US market holidays. A request placed outside a dealing day waits for the next one.

How users qualify

Passage gives users two ways into a Centrifuge fund. You choose one with your Passage representative, based on your business model and the compliance tools you already run.
  • With KYC. Users complete KYC and the offer’s eligibility checks through Passage before their first deposit.
  • Without KYC. For partners who already limit access to eligible users with their own controls, such as their own onboarding or geographic restrictions. Users do not complete KYC through Passage.
In both cases Passage screens every wallet before it builds a request or a claim, and the restricted jurisdictions below apply.

Restricted jurisdictions

Every Centrifuge fund is unavailable to users in the following jurisdictions. Each Ukrainian region is restricted in full, not only its occupied areas. The Crimea restriction covers Alupka, Alushta, Armiansk, Bakhchysarai, Bilohirsk, Dzhankoi, Feodosia, Inkerman, Kerch, Krasnoperekopsk, Saky, Sevastopol, Shcholkine, Simferopol, Staryi Krym, Sudak, Yalta, and Yevpatoria.

What users can do with it

Hold it for yield, which shows up as a rising token price. Sell it back to the fund for USDC through the same request-and-claim flow. Use it in DeFi: Centrifuge’s tokens already integrate with protocols such as Sky, Aave, and Morpho. Centrifuge powers tokenized funds and yield and lending pools and vaults.

FAQ

A deRWA token issued by Centrifuge, which wraps shares in a fund. That is economic exposure to the fund’s assets, not direct ownership of them, and not a registered holding in the fund itself.
Not with Centrifuge directly. Where KYC is required, Passage covers it, with no separate Centrifuge or fund onboarding. Depending on how you integrate, users either complete KYC through Passage or qualify through your own access controls. See How users qualify.
Centrifuge funds are not available in the United States and its territories, 22 other countries, or 5 regions of Ukraine. The full list is under Restricted jurisdictions.
They place a deposit request in USDC, wait for the fund to fill it, and then claim their tokens. That is two transactions, with a wait in between. Purchases can only be made in USDC.
It depends on the fund. See Fund schedules for each fund’s dealing days and typical time to fill. A large request can be filled in parts. The user can see what is still pending and what is ready to claim at any time.
No. Once placed, a request waits in the queue until the fund fills it.
Every fund has a minimum of 1,000 USDC into the fund, so with the 0.5% CoinList fee the smallest deposit is 1,005 USDC. The offer details show the current minimum. Redemptions are limited only by what the wallet holds.
Yes. Selling is a redemption request that the fund fills later, paid out in USDC when the user claims. It is not an instant swap.
No cash is distributed. The fund’s return goes into the token’s price instead, so each token is worth more USDC over time. When a user redeems, the claim pays out at the price on the fill date, so it returns more USDC than the user put in, less any fall in the fund’s value.To show yield, show the value of the user’s tokens at the current token price, and the change in that price since they bought.
Yes. deRWA tokens move freely between wallets and into DeFi. A user can also sell them on DeFi protocols that support them, but liquidity there can be limited, so the price may be worse than redeeming with the fund.Requesting or redeeming with the fund through Passage still needs a wallet that qualifies for the offer. A user who picked up tokens on a secondary market can only redeem them through Passage if they qualify.
Yes. Centrifuge’s tokens are integrated with protocols including Sky, Aave, and Morpho. Liquidity varies by protocol and chain.
No. Your users will not get tax documents from Passage or Centrifuge related to their deposits, redemptions, or any change in the token’s value.
The usual causes are an incomplete requirement, too little USDC or too few tokens, or a fund that has paused new deposits or redemptions. A pause never blocks a claim: anything already filled can always be claimed. A request or claim that sat too long before being sent also needs to be placed again.
Users keep and control the tokens they have already claimed. A claim needs a Passage signature, so contact your Passage representative before you end the integration to agree how users collect anything still pending or ready to claim.
