Centrifuge Launches First Licensed Tokenized S&P 500 Fund on Coinbase’s Base

The S&P DJI‑approved SPXA brings the benchmark on‑chain under Anemoy oversight with Janus Henderson as sub‑investment manager.

Overview

  • SPXA went live Thursday on Base, enabling around‑the‑clock trading and on‑chain transparency of holdings.
  • S&P Dow Jones Indices licensed the product, which S&P’s Cameron Drinkwater described as a step toward the future of index‑linked offerings.
  • Janus Henderson provides investment management while Centrifuge’s Anemoy oversees the fund.
  • FalconX participated as an anchor investor, and Wormhole is slated to support expansion to additional blockchains.
  • Centrifuge positions the launch as its entry into equities after years tokenizing private credit and fixed income, highlighting collateral‑readiness and liquidity benefits.
