Janus Henderson and Centrifuge launched JQQQ, a blockchain-native fund tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index natively on Stellar. The fund brings one of the world's most recognized equity benchmarks to blockchain infrastructure for the first time, enabling programmable portfolios and integration with onchain financial applications. The launch marks a shift in tokenization strategy: rather than reflecting existing securities on blockchain, major financial institutions are building investment products natively onchain from the start. Janus Henderson has $500 billion+ in AUM and already operates over $1 billion in institutional strategies across Treasuries, structured credit, and public equities on blockchain. JQQQ represents the first blockchain-native equity fund tracking a major index on Stellar, demonstrating institutional adoption of equity market tokenization.
