As part of the partnership, Janus Henderson will allocate into USDe for treasury cash management and explore distribution channels to clients via exchange-traded instruments.
The firm's JAAA strategy, comprising AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations tokenized on Centrifuge, will be integrated into USDe's backing portfolio with a $310 million position cap. Both firms are targeting regulated USDe and ENA investment products, including ETFs and ETPs, for launch in the second half of 2026.
