Vaults to Power Every Financial Product Onchain | J. Offerijns & F. Gartenmeister, Centrifuge — S2 E5
DeFi Drip Podcast | Tokenized Assets & Onchain FinanceShow Notes
Vaults started as a yield product for DeFi users. Jeroen Offerijns, CTO at Centrifuge Labs, and Frederik Gartenmeister, Head of Product at Centrifuge Labs, argue they're becoming the core primitive that enables any financial product — funds, ETFs, securitizations — to run natively onchain.
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 LEARN MORE LEARN MORE Dive deeper into institutional vaults with Centrifuge's technical series: Centrifuge Expands Its Institutional Vault Stack with the Onchain Portfolio Manager → https://centrifuge.io/blog/onchain-pm The Evolution of the Onchain Capital Stack → https://centrifuge.io/blog/from-tokenization-to-vaults-onchain-capital-stack Beyond Instant Settlement: The Standard for Asynchronous Vaults → https://centrifuge.io/blog/asynchronous-vaults The Programmable Vault Stack: Customize Behavior Without Rewriting the Core → https://centrifuge.io/blog/the-programmable-vault-stack

Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, founder and CEO of Cap, argues DeFi yield has been circular from the start. Bitcoin-backed lending, basis trading, inflationary tokens: on his read, the returns come from crypto paying crypto. Cap connects onchain capital to the productive economy through unsecured credit, the largest credit market in the world, and one DeFi has never been able to touch.
DeFi lending has always run on crypto-native collateral. Jonathan Han, CEO of Euler Labs, argues that's a structural problem — correlated assets move together in a downturn, creating cascading liquidations. RWAs fix that by providing a critical layer of diversification.
Jonathan Casterline, Product Manager for Digital Assets at Van Eck, discusses where the firm goes next in tokenization. Van Eck holds roughly $4 to $5 billion in digital assets, primarily within the ETF space.
RWAs can be used as collateral onchain. That part is proven. Sebastian Pulido, Director, Institutional & DeFi Business, at Aave Labs, argues the harder problem is what comes next: market structure, liquidation speed, and getting tokenized assets into the hands of investors who will never touch a Web3 wallet.
Credit markets are $200 trillion. Crypto-backed loans are $60 billion. Paul Frambot, co-founder and CEO of Morpho, argues DeFi has barely scratched the surface, and the missing piece isn't more crypto collateral, it's fixed-rate, fixed-term obligations.
