Centrifuge, a leading player in real-world asset tokenization, has introduced a new infrastructure platform called Centrifuge Whitelabel, designed to simplify and accelerate the process of turning traditional assets into blockchain-based financial products. The new service provides modular tools for institutions, fintech startups, and decentralized finance projects to issue and manage tokenized versions of assets such as private credit, insurance, equity, and energy infrastructure. Its debut marks another significant step in bringing tangible assets into digital markets, aiming to make tokenization as seamless and accessible as possible. The first adopter, decentralized energy startup Daylight, has begun using the platform to tokenize energy assets through customized vaults. By leveraging Centrifuge’s ready-to-use infrastructure, Daylight is able to bypass much of the complex backend development required for compliance, investor onboarding, and cross-chain asset distribution while maintaining a high level of security and flexibility.
According to Daylight co-founder Jason Badeaux, the collaboration allows the company to focus on innovation rather than technical limitations. He highlighted that Centrifuge’s system gives developers “maximum expressivity” to design mechanisms suited to their specific requirements. The initiative comes as global demand for tokenization surges, with major financial firms increasingly exploring blockchain-based solutions to improve liquidity and transparency. Market forecasts from BCG and Ripple suggest that the tokenization sector could grow from roughly $35 billion today to as much as $19 trillion by 2033, underscoring the scale of institutional interest. Centrifuge, founded in 2017, has already distributed over $1.3 billion in tokenized assets, positioning itself among the key infrastructure providers powering the new era of onchain finance. Its model focuses on blending decentralization with institutional-grade reliability, appealing to both traditional firms and DeFi-native developers.
Centrifuge co-founder and CTO Jeroen Offerijns said the company’s mission has always been to make tokenization a “public utility” accessible to everyone while maintaining standards comparable to large global asset managers. The Whitelabel platform extends that approach, offering two tiers, a self-service option for developers who want to build independently and a collaborative version that provides technical support and integration assistance. Additionally, Centrifuge’s asset management arm, Anemoy, offers a fully managed service for clients seeking complete operational oversight. The launch of Centrifuge Whitelabel demonstrates how blockchain infrastructure is evolving toward usability and scalability, empowering businesses like Daylight to bring real-world assets directly onto the blockchain. As the lines between traditional finance and decentralized systems continue to blur, Centrifuge’s latest innovation is another indicator of how tokenization is rapidly shifting from experimental to essential in global finance.
