> Falcon Finance just unlocked one of the biggest leaps for onchain credit: Centrifuge’s JAAA — a diversified, AAA-rated, short-duration corporate credit portfolio — is now accepted as collateral to mint USDf. Falcon is also adding JTRSY, a tokenized short-duration Treasury product, expanding the protocol’s growing suite of high-quality collateral.

_Falcon Finance just unlocked one of the biggest leaps for onchain credit:_ _**[Centrifuge’s](https://centrifuge.io/)**_ _JAAA — a diversified, AAA-rated, short-duration corporate credit portfolio — is now accepted as collateral to mint USDf. Falcon is also adding JTRSY, a tokenized short-duration Treasury product, expanding the protocol’s growing suite of high-quality collateral._  
  
This marks one of the _only live examples_ in DeFi where an institutional-grade CLO portfolio can power onchain liquidity — shifting RWAs from passive yield products to fully deployable collateral inside an onchain credit system.

## Turning Real-World Credit Into Active Onchain Collateral

With this integration, **[Falcon Finance](https://falcon.finance/)** continues pushing beyond crypto, treasuries, and tokenized equities — and into structured corporate credit. JAAA becomes the first asset of its kind to be natively used for minting USDf, Falcon’s delta-neutral liquidity asset.

> **“Tokenizing real-world assets is only step one — the real transformation is making these assets usable as collateral directly onchain."**

> **[Bhaji Illuminati, CEO & Co-Founder of Centrifuge Labs](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhajiilluminati/)**

He adds that enabling JAAA and JTRSY inside Falcon gives holders real utility, bringing the industry closer to a fully interoperable onchain financial system.  
   
This is a major moment for Centrifuge, the platform behind the leading tokenized credit ecosystem. Their flagship product JAAA — now over **$1B TVL** — is managed by **Janus Henderson** and represents a curated portfolio of short-duration, investment-grade corporate credit. It packages a traditionally institutional-only asset class into a programmable, accessible onchain format.

## What JAAA Unlocks Inside Falcon

By accepting JAAA as collateral, Falcon users can:

- Keep exposure to high-quality RWAs
- Mint USDf against the position
- Deploy USDf into yield strategies, liquidity pools, or cross-ecosystem DeFi opportunities
- Stay invested in corporate credit _without_ needing to sell

Structured credit stops being a “buy-and-hold” product — it becomes a base layer for capital efficiency.

> **“The RWA market is shifting quickly from tokenized treasuries toward higher-yield, higher-complexity credit. JAAA fits this shift perfectly and shows how real-world credit can become usable collateral onchain.”**

## How Falcon Handles RWA Collateral

Falcon uses RWAs _solely_ as collateral. They sit in segregated reserve accounts and **do not** impact USDf’s return engine.  
USDf yield continues to come from Falcon’s market-neutral strategy stack — meaning:

- collateral risk
- strategy performance
- user yield

…all stay cleanly separated.  
   
This design keeps USDf behavior consistent across all collateral types, even as Falcon expands into more complex RWAs.

## Advancing Falcon’s Cross-Asset Collateral Vision

Adding JAAA aligns with Falcon’s vision to support **multiple collateral classes across tokenized markets**. The protocol already supports:

- tokenized equities
- gold
- U.S. Treasuries
- high-quality crypto assets

Structured corporate credit now expands that universe even further. Falcon sees a future where users unlock liquidity from _diversified collateral baskets_ — fully compliant, professionally structured, and customizable based on investment profile.

> **“By 2030, most major liquid assets will exist as programmable collateral. Falcon’s role is to ensure these assets can be put to work, not just represented.”**

> **Artem Tolkachev, Chief RWA Officer at Falcon Finance**

## **How Users Tap Into JAAA and JTRSY**

Once KYC is complete, users can:

1. Deposit JAAA or JTRSY
2. Mint USDf against the collateral
3. Continue earning passive exposure to the underlying RWA
4. Deploy USDf into yields, LPs, restaking, or Falcon’s delta-neutral strategies

This means institutions and qualified users can stay invested in diversified corporate credit _while_ gaining onchain liquidity and market-neutral returns.
