Real World Asset Tokenization with Centrifuge: Jeroen Offerijns on why should Institutions care?

In this episode of Offscript, we sit down with Jeroen Offerijns, Co-Founder & CTO of Centrifuge, to unpack what’s actually happening in tokenization — beyond the buzzwords, panels, and press releases.Centrifuge has quietly become one of the most important infrastructure players in real-world assets (RWAs), working with institutions like Janus Henderson, S&P Dow Jones, and major DeFi protocols to bring credit, funds, and indices on-chain — properly.We cover:Why tokenization is no longer a “maybe” — just a question of timingWhat Centrifuge’s V3 White Label really enables (and why rebuilding infra every time is a mistake)How Proof of Index solves transparency without exposing proprietary dataThe real story behind JA, CLOs, and billion-dollar on-chain allocationsWhy tokenization doesn’t magically create liquidity — and what can help insteadERC-7540, standards, and why interoperability matters more than shiny chainsPrivate vs public markets, institutional adoption, and where demand is actually coming fromWhat’s next now that the infrastructure is finally readyThis conversation is for builders, funds, institutions, and operators who want a realistic view of RWAs — not tokenization theater.No hype. No fantasy liquidity. Just hard lessons from someone building the rails while everyone else argues about the future.
