Centrifuge has launched the Janus Henderson Anemoy S&P 500® Index Fund Token (SPXA), the first tokenized index fund ever licensed by S&P, bringing the S&P 500® onchain for the first time. The groundbreaking fund launches on Base, with future multichain expansion powered exclusively by Wormhole's institutional-grade interoperability platform.
Bringing the World's Most Recognized Equity Benchmark Onchain
SPXA represents a watershed moment in bringing traditional equity markets onchain. The S&P 500®, representing roughly 80% of U.S. market capitalization and underpinning over $6 trillion in ETF assets, is now accessible with 24/7 availability, transparent holdings, and DeFi-native composability, creating new opportunities for builders and institutional investors alike.
Building Toward Multichain Access
This launch builds on Centrifuge’s partnership with Wormhole, which serves as the exclusive interoperability provider for the platform’s V3 infrastructure across multiple blockchain ecosystems. Since migrating to V3 in July 2025, Centrifuge has demonstrated how Wormhole’s interoperability enables unified liquidity management and borderless investor access.
As SPXA grows, Wormhole will enable its expansion to multiple blockchain networks, ensuring investors and applications can interact with the fund wherever liquidity resides.
Trusted Infrastructure At Scale
Wormhole currently enables over 200 applications across 40+ blockchain ecosystems. Since 2020, the platform has facilitated more than $65 billion in cross-chain volume through over 1 billion messages. Leading institutions including BlackRock, Securitize, and Apollo rely on Wormhole’s infrastructure to move tokenized assets and stablecoins across networks.
Expanding the Tokenized Asset Ecosystem
This collaboration between Centrifuge, Janus Henderson, S&P Dow Jones Indices, and Wormhole represents the next chapter of financial innovation. From the first passive mutual fund to the launch of SPY, the S&P 500® has anchored major financial breakthroughs. SPXA continues this tradition as the world’s first tokenized S&P 500® Index Fund — a milestone toward a future where market benchmarks are accessible onchain, trustlessly, and across any network.
