Stellar's Tokenized RWA Market Quadruples to Nearly $4B in 2026
What happened: The value of real-world assets (RWA) tokenized on Stellar surged to $3.
What happened: The value of real-world assets (RWA) tokenized on Stellar surged to $3.996 billion as of August 29, up 360% from $868.8 million at the end of 2025. Leading issuers include Spiko ($1.55B), Realiz ($559M), Tradable ($548M), Franklin Templeton ($546M), and Ondo ($535M). The asset mix spans U.S. Treasurys, global government debt, and reserve-backed stablecoins, with MoneyGram launching MGUSD on Stellar in June. DTCC is set to connect its tokenization platform to Stellar in the first half of 2027.
Why it matters: The rapid growth underscores institutional appetite for on-chain asset issuance, with Stellar emerging as a key platform for tokenized securities. However, the concentration among a handful of issuers and the lackluster performance of Stellar's native XLM token (down 11% YTD) suggest that RWA activity is not yet translating into broader ecosystem demand or DeFi usage. The upcoming DTCC integration could further accelerate adoption.
