Janus Henderson Invests in Ethena, Integrates USDe and Tokenized CLOs
JHG sits 45% above its 52-week low of $35.76 on light trading volume (0.3× avg).

Janus Henderson, a global asset manager, has made a strategic investment in Ethena's ENA governance token and will integrate Ethena's synthetic dollar (USDe) into its treasury operations. This partnership also involves Ethena allocating USDe backing into Janus Henderson's tokenized AAA collateralized loan obligation fund. This marks a significant step for the $480 billion asset manager into the decentralized finance space, potentially expanding its product offerings and institutional reach. This strategic move is distinct from the company's recent take-private offer discussions.
