Centrifuge and Pendle bring fixed-rate markets to tokenized real-world assets on Base

Centrifuge and Pendle have partnered to launch fixed-rate markets for tokenized real-world assets on the Base network, enabling yield trading on RWAs through Pendle's yield-tokenization mechanism applied to Centrifuge's asset pools. The integration aims to bridge traditional finance and DeFi by giving users fixed-rate exposure to tokenized credit assets, though the article cites risks including liquidity constraints and credit dependency. Specific figures such as token prices, total value locked, trading volumes, market cap, and funding amounts were not disclosed in the available content. The move matters as an early attempt to bring fixed-income-style yield trading to the RWA sector, a growing corner of DeFi. What to watch next: initial pool liquidity and TVL on Base, the credit quality of underlying Centrifuge assets, and whether other RWA issuers adopt Pendle's fixed-rate infrastructure.
