Stellar reaches $3.5 billion in tokenized real-world assets

Stellar has emerged as the third-largest blockchain for tokenized real-world assets (RWA), trailing only Ethereum and BNB Chain. The total value of tokenized assets on the network has reached approximately $3.5 billion, representing a roughly 360% increase from $895 million a year ago.

The growth is driven by the tokenization of conventional financial instruments, including government treasuries, money-market funds, credit, and sovereign debt. Recent data indicates that net inflows into Stellar-based investment funds reached $17.1 million, outperforming Ethereum’s $16 million and Polygon’s $5.9 million in the same period.

This expansion positions Stellar ahead of other major networks such as Solana, the XRP Ledger, and Avalanche in the RWA sector. Additionally, the CME Group recently announced plans to expand its cryptocurrency futures offerings to include Stellar.
