Centrifuge Reports Continued Inflows in Asset-Backed Credit for Second Week

Centrifuge has announced a second consecutive week of inflows into asset-backed credit, confirming the trend on October 16, 2026. This follows a previous report indicating that new onchain capital has been directed primarily toward Treasuries, gold, and asset-backed credit. The latest data reflects a broader trend, as a report from Dune Analytics reveals that tokenized credit has more than doubled over the past year, with traditional lending products such as home-equity lines and middle-market loans accounting for approximately two-thirds of this growth.

The Dune report also emphasizes the increasing importance of tokenized credit as collateral within decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocols, marking it as the leading category for real-world asset collateral. This shift suggests that a significant portion of deposits in these protocols is now tied to tokenized credit, indicating a growing integration of traditional financial assets into blockchain technology.

Centrifuge is positioned at the forefront of this trend, actively issuing tokenized fixed-income products and recently launching high-yield bond products on Circle's Arc and the Stellar network. The firm has seen an increase in holder counts and overall value on Stellar, which coincides with the recent inflows. Observers have expressed a positive sentiment regarding these developments, interpreting them as a sign of increasing interest in utilizing real-world assets on blockchain platforms. As tokenized credit continues to grow, its impact on the health of DeFi lending protocols will be closely monitored, particularly in relation to the performance of real-world borrowers.
