Polkadot’s Web3 Foundation Invests In US Treasuries

The Web3 Foundation, associated with the Polkadot network, has joined the trend of crypto development teams allocating treasury assets to real-world assets. In a recent announcement on November 29, the Web3 Foundation also revealed plans for a pilot investment of $1 million in U.S. treasury bills, tokenized on-chain through Anemoy.

Anemoy operates on Centrifuge Chain, a Polkadot parachain focusing on real-world assets (RWA). The investment is directed towards Anemoy’s upcoming Liquid Short Treasury Fund, aiming to provide DAOs and other investors with exposure to short-term U.S. treasury bill yields. This move underscores the Web3 Foundation’s dedication to supporting the growth of real-world assets on Polkadot’s infrastructure.

“This partnership demonstrates Web3 Foundation’s commitment to supporting the growth and innovation of real-world assets on Polkadot’s infrastructure,” the Web3 Foundation said. Additionally, Polkadot is working on a system to replace the parachain auctions.
