First Step in Solana from the Giant Managing $1.1 Trillion: Bond Fund Is Coming

Schroders, which managed $1.1 trillion in assets as of June, is working with Centrifuge to bring its emerging-market bond strategy onto Solana, marking the asset manager’s first move onto the chain. The fund will be tokenized through Centrifuge, whose infrastructure lets asset managers issue on-chain share classes of traditional strategies. The initiative extends the tokenized real-world asset trend beyond Ethereum, where most tokenized treasury and bond products have launched so far. Schroders’ roughly 200-year history gives the Solana RWA sector a marquee traditional-finance name alongside existing issuers. Watch for the fund’s launch date, initial deposit size and whether other large managers follow onto Solana.
