Securitize adds Stellar blockchain to its tokenized asset platform
Securitize adds Stellar to its list of supported blockchains
Tokenization platform Securitize has added the Stellar blockchain to the list of networks it supports. The company said the move comes as more institutions look to put real-world assets on blockchains.
Securitize turns assets such as shares and debt into digital tokens that can be traded on blockchain networks. The company already supports Ethereum, Solana and Avalanche, and it is known for issuing and managing BlackRock's BUIDL tokenized money-market fund. Tokenization is the process of bringing an asset onto a blockchain so it can be transferred or traded using that technology.
Key details
- Stellar is described as a fast and scalable blockchain where decentralized assets can be set up for know-your-customer checks, clawbacks and sanctions compliance.
- The firms announced the agreement at Meridian 2026, the Stellar Development Foundation's annual conference in Lisbon, Portugal.
- Franklin Templeton runs a tokenized money market fund on Stellar, and MoneyGram uses the network for daily money transfers.
- Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said the Stellar network has the fourth-largest ecosystem for tokenized real-world assets.
What the announcement says
"The Stellar network has built the fourth-largest ecosystem for tokenized real-world assets, which speaks to the strength of its network and the growing institutional demand for tokenization," Carlos Domingo said in a statement.
Broader trend
Tokenization has drawn more attention recently, with a growing number of companies offering, or planning to offer, versions of shares, bonds and commodities that can be traded around the clock with little or no geographic limits.
Who Securitize is
Securitize was founded in 2017 and went public on the New York Stock Exchange in July, when it also put its own stock on Solana and Avalanche. On the first day of trading, its shares rose as high as $13.70 and closed at $8.16 on Tuesday.
What is confirmed
The confirmed facts are that Securitize added Stellar to its supported blockchains, the announcement was made at Meridian 2026 in Lisbon, Stellar is characterized as fast and scalable with compliance features, and that Franklin Templeton and MoneyGram already use Stellar. The company's own stock price detail for Tuesday is confirmed by the article's correction.
