Can U.S. Investors Buy Centrifuge’s Nasdaq-100 Fund?

What does the $1 billion figure actually measure?

It refers to Janus Henderson’s broader onchain investment platform, which spans U.S. Treasuries, structured credit and public equities, not assets held by JQQQ alone.

Why does JQQQ matter for Centrifuge?

The launch gives Centrifuge’s fund infrastructure a role in an issuer-sponsored Nasdaq-100 strategy licensed by Nasdaq and issued on Stellar. The announcement does not disclose JQQQ-specific assets, fees or revenue for Centrifuge, so its financial contribution cannot yet be quantified.

Has JQQQ started accepting subscriptions?

Subscription availability was not confirmed by the sources reviewed. Ledger Insights reported that Centrifuge’s portal still displayed “seeding soon” and cited a 100,000 USDC minimum subscription, while the fund is restricted to eligible investors in jurisdictions where it may lawfully be offered.

Is JQQQ equivalent to holding the Nasdaq-100 directly?

No. JQQQ provides indirect economic exposure to an investment product tracking the index, and its value may deviate from the index. Tokenized fund shares also carry additional blockchain, smart-contract, wallet and redemption risks.

Are JQQQ shares immediately usable as DeFi collateral?

Not necessarily. Janus Henderson says collateral and lending uses depend on independent third parties, applicable laws, investor eligibility and platform terms; the manager does not provide or endorse those services.
