Securitize, the tokenization platform that manages BlackRock's BUIDL money-market fund, added Stellar to its supported blockchains, the company announced at Meridian 2026, the Stellar Development Foundation's annual conference in Lisbon.
The move expands Securitize's footprint beyond Ethereum, Solana and Avalanche into what CEO Carlos Domingo called "the fourth-largest ecosystem for tokenized real-world assets." Stellar's architecture allows RWA issuers to bake in KYC requirements, clawbacks and sanctions compliance at the protocol level—critical infrastructure for institutions moving real assets on-chain.
Franklin Templeton already runs a tokenized money market fund on Stellar. MoneyGram moves capital across the network daily, leveraging Stellar's settlement speed for cross-border transfers. These deployments signal institutional traction beyond hype.
Securitize went public on the New York Stock Exchange in July, simultaneously listing its own shares on Solana and Avalanche blockchains. The stock opened at $13.70 on day one and closed at $8.16 on Oct. 27.
RWA stablecoins currently yield 5-7 percent from real credit—a 100-basis-point premium over crypto funding rates at roughly 4 percent. The yield differential matters: it proves tokenized assets can compete on risk-adjusted returns. The GENIUS Act, set to establish federal stablecoin framework, will push yield generation further off-chain, compressing on-chain arbitrage opportunities.
Analysts project the RWA stablecoin market to reach $4 billion within three years. Securitize's four-chain strategy positions it to capture share across fragmented liquidity pools as institutional capital continues rotating into tokenized real-world assets.
