What to know:

  • The fund gives blockchain-native access to Apollo’s global private and public credit strategies
  • ACRDX will be available to institutional investors through Plume’s Nest Credit vaults

Blockchain-based real world asset (RWA) specialists Centrifuge and Plume have launched the Anemoy Tokenized Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (ACRDX), backed by a $50 million anchor investment from Grove, a credit infrastructure protocol within the Sky Ecosystem.

The fund gives blockchain investors exposure to Apollo’s diversified global credit strategy, spanning direct corporate lending, asset-backed lending and dislocated credit, a type of mispriced debt due to market stress and lack of liquidity.

ACRDX will be distributed through Plume’s Nest Credit vaults under the ticker nACRDX, making the strategy accessible to institutional investors on-chain. By packaging Apollo’s portfolio in tokenized form, the fund aims to lower entry barriers and increase transparency for investors seeking exposure to private credit markets, according to a press release.

Apollo, a $600 billion-plus asset manager, is one of several traditional finance firms active n exploring blockchain rails. Its digital assets head Christine Moy said the initiative expands access to institutional-grade strategies while helping “build the onchain DeFi economy” alongside Grove and Centrifuge.

The product combines Apollo’s investment management with Centrifuge’s tokenization infrastructure and Plume’s real-world asset–focused blockchain. Chronicle will serve as oracle provider, and Wormhole will handle cross-chain connectivity. Subject to approval, Anemoy will oversee the fund as manager.

Specialized AI detects 92% of real-world DeFi exploits

hackers (Modified by CoinDesk)

New research claims specialized AI dramatically outperforms general-purpose models at detecting exploited DeFi vulnerabilities.

Lo que debes saber:

  • A purpose-built AI security agent detected vulnerabilities in 92% of 90 exploited DeFi contracts ($96.8 million in exploit value), compared with 34% and $7.5 million for a baseline GPT-5.1-based coding agent running on the same underlying model.
  • The gap came from domain-specific security methodology layered on top of the model, not differences in core AI capability, according to the report.
  • The findings come as prior research from Anthropic and OpenAI shows AI agents can execute end-to-end smart contract exploits at low cost, accelerating concerns that offensive AI capabilities are scaling faster than defensive adoption.
