Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund (JTRSY) is a tokenized U.S. Treasury Bill fund that brings institutional-grade fixed income investing to the blockchain. It's essentially a digital wrapper around short-term U.S. government debt, allowing crypto-native investors and DeFi protocols to earn yield on Treasury Bills through blockchain technology.
π¦ What It Is
JTRSY is a regulated investment fund (licensed in the British Virgin Islands) that:
- Holds only U.S. Treasury Bills with 0-3 months to maturity
- Issues blockchain tokens (ERC-20 standard) representing ownership shares
- Maintains a stable price around $1.09 per token (close to par value)
- Offers institutional-grade security with the highest ratings of any tokenized fund
Think of it as a money market fund on-chain β designed for stability and yield rather than speculation.

π‘ How It Works
For Investors:
- Subscribe with USDC stablecoins (minimum 100,000 USDC)
- Receive JTRSY tokens representing your share of the fund
- Earn yield from U.S. Treasury Bills (~3.65% APY currently)
- Redeem anytime for USDC (T+1 settlement, or instant via liquidity network)
Behind the Scenes:
- Your USDC is converted to USD by Circle
- Janus Henderson (a 90-year-old asset manager with $379B AUM) buys T-Bills
- T-Bills are held by Pershing LLC (Bank of New York Mellon subsidiary)
- You can see the actual CUSIP numbers of the T-Bills on-chain in real-time
π― Why It Exists
Problem it solves: Crypto investors and DeFi protocols need safe, yield-bearing assets that aren't just stablecoins sitting idle.
Use cases:
- Treasury management for DAOs and protocols
- Collateral in DeFi lending (e.g., Morpho)
- Yield for institutional crypto portfolios
- Bridge between traditional finance and DeFi
π‘οΈ Safety & Legitimacy
This is not a speculative crypto project β it's an institutional product:
β Backed by U.S. government debt (zero default risk) β Managed by Janus Henderson (established 1934, major global asset manager) β Highest ratings of any tokenized fund (AA+ from S&P) β Regulated by BVI Financial Services Commission β Audited by MHA Cayman β Professional custody via BNY Mellon subsidiary
Risk considerations:
- Only for non-U.S. professional investors (institutional/accredited)
- Relatively new (launched August 2024)
- Limited liquidity (11 token holders currently)
- Smart contract risks (mitigated by multisig wallets and timelocks)
π Recent Milestones
- March 2025: Received AA+f/S1+ rating from S&P (highest for any tokenized fund)
- March 2025: Won $200M allocation from Spark Tokenization Grand Prix
- May 2025: Expanded to Solana with $400M fund
- Current AUM: $567 million (growing rapidly)
π Bottom Line
JTRSY is a serious institutional product, not a meme coin or speculative token. It's designed for:
- Institutions seeking safe, blockchain-native yield
- DeFi protocols needing high-quality collateral
- Crypto treasuries wanting T-Bill exposure without leaving the blockchain
The stable price (~$1.09), minimal volatility, and institutional backing make it fundamentally different from most crypto assets β it's traditional finance infrastructure on-chain.
