Recorded live at the RWA Summit in Cannes for Season 2 of DeFi Drip, Mariia Yatsenko, Head of Marketing at Centrifuge Labs, sits down with Jeroen and Frederik to break down institutional vaults: what makes them different from standard DeFi vaults, why asynchronous execution is a feature not a bug, and what the road from tokenization to native onchain origination actually looks like.

IN THIS EPISODE 👇

Why vaults are becoming the core primitive for onchain finance — not just yield products
What "institutional" means in the context of vault infrastructure
Why asynchronous execution is a safeguard, not a limitation
Onchain PM: managing one portfolio across multiple chains
Accounting tokens: how Centrifuge solves the settlement phase problem
The three stages of onchain finance: tokenization, onchain asset management, native origination
What higher risk-adjusted yields look like when RWAs and DeFi assets are combined in one vault

A year after launching their tokenized Treasury fund, the firm is working out how to move past experimentation and drive the institutional demand that the next generation of onchain products will need.

Recorded live at the RWA Summit in Cannes for Season 2 of DeFi Drip, Graham Nelson, DeFi Product Lead at Centrifuge, sits with Jonathan to discuss the evolution of asset management, the challenges of distribution in a nascent regulatory landscape, and why tokenization's greatest value lies in direct investor engagement.
