Summary

Tokenized real-world assets on Stellar are approaching $4 billion, a rise of about 360% this year. Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation, discusses what is behind that growth with Camila Russo. Among the issuers named are Franklin Templeton's BENJI and funds from Spiko. U.S. Bank has run a stablecoin pilot on Stellar covering mint, cross-border transfer, redemption, clawback and freeze. MoneyGram has a stablecoin card in Colombia. The DTCC is targeting tokenization plans in the first half of 2027. The discussion notes that few RWAs are used in DeFi, and that RedStone is addressing the need for 24/7 pricing. Institutions are described as needing uptime, compliance and privacy, and composable privacy is raised as a feature for them. The conversation also covers why open public networks are chosen over permissioned chains, and institutions acting as validators. Other topics include a "barbell" of retail and institutional users on one network, and what may come next, such as perps, native equities and payments.
