Nick Cherney

Head of Innovation Janus Henderson

Day 1 | 2nd December

1:50 PM DeFi Distribution Interview: Partnering with DeFi platforms: Opening institutional access to on-chain capital

A new distribution model is emerging as traditional asset managers partner with DeFi-native platforms. This session explores how institutions are engaging with these protocols to design new fund structures, navigate compliance, and enable on-chain access. 

Nick Cherney of Janus Henderson will share the strategic rationale behind their partnership with Centrifuge, offering insight into the structuring and regulatory considerations needed to participate credibly. We’ll also examine how these early collaborations- initially designed for DeFi-native investors- can evolve to support the long-term goal of tokenising traditional assets, enhancing efficiency and expanding access for institutional clients.
