Blockchain technology and tokenization have the potential to disrupt the traditional ETF model. Janus Henderson recently announced a partnership with Anemoy Limited and Centrifuge to launch Anemoy’s Liquid Treasury Fund (LTF). This fund will utilize on-chain technology to provide investors with direct access to short-term U.S. Treasury bills.
Nick Cherney, Janus Henderson’s head of innovation, shared on CNBC’s “ETF Edge” that this development is more of a natural evolution rather than a threat to the ETF industry. He emphasized the importance of delivering investment services more efficiently and cost-effectively to clients.
The Liquid Treasury Fund (LTF) will be Janus Henderson’s first tokenized fund, offering all the traditional features of an ETF but with the added benefits of trading on a blockchain-based platform. Investors will have access to instantaneous 24/7 trading, immediate settlement, and full transparency over fund holdings.
While some industry players may see this innovation as threatening, Cherney noted that many are already getting involved in this space. However, Strategas Securities’ Todd Sohn expressed concerns about the risks associated with 24/7 trading availability, emphasizing the need for caution depending on the users of this technology.
