Janus Henderson and Centrifuge announced the launch of JQQQ on October 27. The blockchain-native fund seeks to track the Nasdaq-100 Index under a license from Nasdaq and uses Centrifuge infrastructure for issuance and operation. Janus Henderson manages the strategy, while the legal structure is a segregated portfolio of Anemoy Capital SPC Limited.
JQQQ launched exclusively on the Stellar network. The fund is available only to eligible investors in jurisdictions where it may lawfully be offered and is not available to U.S. persons. Janus Henderson says its broader onchain platform now includes more than $1 billion in institutional strategies spanning U.S. Treasuries, structured credit and public equities.
The product provides indirect economic exposure to an underlying investment strategy tracking the Nasdaq-100. It does not give holders beneficial ownership of the index or shareholder rights in its constituent companies. Janus Henderson also warns that tokenized shares introduce blockchain, smart-contract, wallet and third-party-platform risks. Potential collateral or lending uses would depend on independent third parties and may not be available to every investor or jurisdiction.
