ERC-8161 has been finalized as a new Ethereum standard that allows pending deposit and redemption requests in asynchronous vaults to be transferred before settlement. Proposed in February 2025 and finalized in late July 2026, the standard was co-authored by Jeroen Offerijns and Cain O’Sullivan and is designed to improve liquidity for tokenized offchain assets such as real estate loans. It builds on ERC-7540, which introduced asynchronous claim flows for vaults in 2024, and ERC-7575, which added multi-asset support. ERC-8161 also requires ERC-165 compliance, allowing smart contracts to detect whether a vault supports transferable requests. The result is that investors can sell a redemption or deposit queue position on a secondary market instead of waiting for an epoch to close, giving sellers earlier liquidity while buyers take on the wait, often at a discount. Centrifuge said its vault architecture now combines all three standards. No immediate price or volume impact tied to the finalization has been reported.
