BVI-regulated tokenized US T-bill fund, Janus Henderson sub-advised, AA+ rated, $1.5B AUM — for non-US professional yield allocators only.
JTRSY is a tokenized US Treasury bill fund structured as a British Virgin Islands professional fund (Anemoy Capital SPC Limited, a bankruptcy-remote segregated-portfolio vehicle licensed by the BVI Financial Services Commission), sub-advised by Janus Henderson Investors — a NYSE-listed asset manager with approximately $400B in AUM [fund-1][fund-2]. Tokens are issued on-chain via Centrifuge with contracts deployed on Ethereum, Base, Avalanche, and Plume [cg-1]. The token price of $1.10 is not a stablecoin peg — it is NAV-accumulating, meaning each share grows in value as the underlying T-bill portfolio accrues yield, with current 30-day growth of +0.27% tracking short-term US Treasury yields [cg-1]. Market cap is $1.52B at rank 56, with 1.379B tokens in circulation and MC = FDV since all issued tokens are backed 1:1 by the fund's T-bill holdings [cg-1]. Particula upgraded JTRSY to AA+ in May 2025, making it one of the highest-rated tokenized funds in crypto [fund-3]. The product is explicitly restricted to non-US Professional Investors per the BVI fund license [fund-1].
JTRSY is a British Virgin Islands professional fund licensed by the BVI FSC, open exclusively to non-US Professional Investors [fund-1]. 'Professional Investor' in BVI regulation typically means individuals with net worth exceeding $1M (excluding primary residence) or entities with qualifying institutional status. US persons are structurally excluded from direct purchase due to the unregistered-security implications under the US Investment Company Act and SEC Regulation S constraints on the offering. This is the single biggest limitation of JTRSY for most Alpha Factory members: if you are a US resident or US taxable entity, you cannot directly acquire this fund through normal KYC channels. Secondary-market acquisition on-chain via DEX is also not a viable workaround — CoinGecko reports 24h volume of $0 [cg-1] and DEXScreener shows zero liquid pairs for the Ethereum contract [dex-1], meaning there is no secondary market to arbitrage around the KYC gate. The tokens on the fund platform move between allowlisted wallets only. For US-eligible yield allocators, comparable on-chain T-bill exposure is available through BlackRock BUIDL, Franklin BENJI, Ondo OUSG, or Superstate USTB — all of which have US-investor-friendly paths. JTRSY fills a legitimate gap (non-US professional allocators who want on-chain T-bill exposure), but that gap is narrow relative to the Alpha Factory reader base.
JTRSY does not trade like a normal crypto token. 24-hour trading volume is $0 per CoinGecko [cg-1] and DEXScreener shows zero pairs for the contract address 0x8c213ee79581ff4984583c6a801e5263418c4b86 [dex-1]. This is by design: the fund operates on a subscription/redemption basis at NAV through the Anemoy platform, not as a spot-traded asset. Holders who want to exit must go through the fund's redemption process, which typically has a T+1 or T+2 settlement timeline and may have minimums. The upside: you redeem at actual NAV, not a discounted secondary-market price, so there is no execution slippage. The downside: you cannot get out intra-day or during a liquidity event the way you can exit a BUIDL, USDC, or Treasury ETF position. This is the same tradeoff investors make when buying a traditional mutual fund vs an ETF — acceptable for T-bill allocators who plan to hold to maturity or for weeks-to-months, but problematic for anyone who might need emergency liquidity. It also means standard DeFi composability (using JTRSY as collateral, paring into DEX pools, lending against it) is limited to the specific protocols that have integrated the allowlist-aware token standard.
