Bhaji Illuminati, CEO at Centrifuge, used that example at the SALT Wyoming Blockchain Symposium to show how tokenized investment products can change the way liquidity works around traditional assets.
Her focus was demand already present onchain. Centrifuge works with asset managers and DeFi allocators to bring products such as Treasury exposure and high-yield strategies into blockchain markets. Illuminati also pointed to New York Life’s first tokenized fund as an example of established financial institutions beginning to use the same infrastructure.
The redemption mechanism is especially notable. Traditional money market funds generally operate around established settlement windows, while an onchain facility can make liquidity available much faster. That gives tokenized assets a larger role in treasury management, stablecoin reserves, and collateral use.
The structural takeaway:
✅ Tokenization is moving toward products with existing onchain demand
✅ Instant redemption can change how quickly investment assets become usable liquidity
✅ Treasury products can serve reserve, collateral, and cash-management functions
✅ Institutional participation depends on security, compliance, and dependable infrastructure
Tokenized funds are becoming part of the liquidity layer that connects traditional assets with onchain financial activity.
