Centrifuge’s CFG Token Surges 60% on Binance Listing

Centrifuge’s native token CFG has rallied roughly 60% in the past 24 hours after Binance, the largest centralized exchange buy trading volume, announced it would list the token for spot trading today, March 16. CFG is the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization protocol’s native governance and utility token.

The price of CFG reacted to the news nearly immediately, soaring from around $0.12 to as high as $0.23 at its intraday peak — a 90% rally — before retracing to approximately $0.19 at time of writing, per CoinGecko data. 24-hour trading volume reached over $178.8 million, per CoinGecko, with most of today’s volume, over $118.7 million, occurring on Korean CEX Upbit for the CFG/KRW trading pair.

Meanwhile, the CFG/USDC pair on Binance is trading around $0.19, up almost 100% on the 24-hour timeframe. 24-hour trading volume for CFG on Binance has reached over $13.6 million at publishing time.

Per the listing announcement, Binance applied a so-called Seed Tag to the listing — a designation the exchange uses for higher-risk or less-established tokens that requires users to pass a quiz before trading.

CFG had already seen a listing-driven surge on Feb. 26, when Upbit’s announcement sent the token up over 200% intraday to over $0.24.

Tokenized RWA Value Slips

On the fundamentals side, RWAxyz data shows Centrifuge’s distributed asset value across its tokenized RWAs at $1.23 billion, down over 8% this month. The majority of value across the platform’s four tokenized funds sits on Ethereum, which holds nearly $922 million at publishing time — though that value is down 10.55% in the past 30 days.

Centrifuge’s largest tokenized RWA product, Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund (JTRSY), holds U.S. Treasuries and has a market cap of $761.3 million.

Meanwhile, RWAxyz shows that the value of Centrifuge’s corporate credit fund, Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund (JAAA) slipped over 42% in the last month, which accounted for the broader net losses across its tokenized products. JAAA currently holds $416,6 million in value on-chain, mostly on Avalanche C-Chain and Ethereum.

The platform’s overall on-chain RWA value crossed the $1 billion milestone for the first time last August on the back of institutional demand for its JAAA fund. The firm launched a $100 million tokenized credit strategy with Resolv on Aave’s RWA platform Horizon in late February.
