London-based investment management firm Janus Henderson is getting involved in the tokenisation field, where giants have recently entered in order to expand its investor base. According to the British media Financial Times, the firm will take over the management of the $ 11 million Anemoy Liquid Treasury Fund.

This fund, which invests in short-term US Treasury bonds, tokenises shares using blockchain technology, allowing investors to invest in small portions.

“Unique opportunity to help shape this future”

Nick Cherney, Janus Henderson’s head of innovations, told the Financial Times that as a company, they are now preparing for the future and that is why they stepped into the world of tokenisation:

“Our innovation strategy is focused on preparing for the possibility that blockchain technology will transform traditional finance in the long term, and this partnership represents a unique opportunity to help shape this future, while also providing stable and compliant solutions for on-chain markets.”

As it will be remembered, American giants BlackRock, Fidelity and Franklin Templeton were previously involved in this field called ‘on-chain capital markets’. The 3 companies are known to tokenise bonds and money market funds.

Everyone heard it with BlackRock!

Managing more than $10 trillion in assets, BlackRock announced the BUIDL fund at the beginning of last year. This clearly showed the interest of large companies in the tokenisation world. Company CEO Larry Fink has also said many times, “The future is in tokenisation.”
