Securitize, the US tokenisation company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, plans to integrate with the Stellar network so that it can issue and manage tokenised financial assets there. The company announced the plan on 28 October in a release on PR Newswire, timed to Meridian 2026, the Stellar Development Foundation’s annual conference in Lisbon.
It is a plan, not a launch. Securitize has not named any fund, bond or other asset that will be issued on Stellar, and it has given no date. “Additional details about assets supported through the integration will be announced as they become available,” the release says. Its forward-looking statement adds that the integration “may be delayed, changed or not completed”.
In brief
- Securitize plans to support the issuance and management of tokenised assets on Stellar.
- Stellar would be the 17th network Securitize supports, the company said on X.
- No assets, products, dates or commercial terms have been named.
What Securitize has announced
Securitize turns traditional financial products, such as funds, into tokens: digital records of ownership held on a blockchain. It says it has about $5bn of tokenised securities on its platform as of 30 September 2026 and works with asset managers including Apollo, BlackRock, BNY, Hamilton Lane, KKR and VanEck.
In a thread on X, the company said: “We’re planning to integrate with @StellarOrg, bringing our regulated infrastructure to the fourth largest ecosystem for tokenized real-world assets.” A later post in the thread said that “with Stellar as the 17th network we support, institutional asset managers get more choice in the networks that fit their operational and distribution needs.”
The Stellar Development Foundation, the non-profit that supports the network, shared the news on X minutes earlier, describing it as “flexible infrastructure for institutions”.
Who said what
“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,” said Carlos Domingo, Securitize’s co-founder and chief executive. The ranking comes from rwa.xyz’s count of distributed tokenised assets on 22 October, according to a footnote in the release.
Denelle Dixon, chief executive of the Stellar Development Foundation, said: “Securitize has helped establish tokenization as a practical solution for major financial institutions. We’re excited to work together to expand the infrastructure available to asset managers and support the next generation of tokenized financial products on Stellar.”
The release describes Stellar as a network where assets can be “configured for KYC, clawbacks, and sanctions compliance”. Those controls let an issuer check who holds a token and, if needed, take it back, which regulated funds usually require. Franklin Templeton runs a tokenised money market fund on Stellar, it adds, and the network has handled payments since 2014.
Stellar’s run of tokenisation news
The plan lands in a busy month for the network. Janus Henderson and Centrifuge launched JQQQ, a tokenised Nasdaq-100 fund, on Stellar on 27 October. Victory Park Capital and Tradable chose it for VALTS, a private-credit feeder, and PwC and EOS used it to settle a securitisation payout in a euro stablecoin.
For Securitize, Stellar adds to a widening list of partners. Last week Anchorage Digital brought its bank-issued stablecoins to Securitize’s platform, and earlier this month the company signed a tokenisation memorandum with LG CNS in South Korea.
Why a 17th network still matters to issuers
Securitize’s pitch is choice. Asset managers increasingly pick a blockchain by where their buyers already hold money, and a platform that supports many networks lets the same fund follow that demand. Adding Stellar puts Securitize’s issuing, transfer-agent and broker-dealer machinery within reach of an ecosystem that already hosts funds from Franklin Templeton and Janus Henderson.
For Stellar, the gain is credibility with asset managers who already use Securitize elsewhere. A network that wants institutional funds needs the firms that package those funds, not just the issuers’ own experiments. Dixon’s quote frames the deal in exactly those terms.
The ranking claim deserves care. “Fourth-largest” refers to distributed tokenised assets on rwa.xyz, a measure TSN has tracked as the whole market moved around $39bn. On that measure, a single large fund moving on or off a network can shift its position, so the ranking describes a moment rather than a lasting lead.
What would make the plan real
Supporting a network and moving assets onto it are different things. Securitize already lists 16 others, and the value of the 17th depends on which managers choose it. Until a named fund is issued on Stellar through Securitize, the deal is an intention with an exit clause written into the release.
The test is the first asset announcement Securitize has promised. If it is a large, existing fund adding a Stellar share class, the integration will have had a real effect; if nothing is named by the time of next year’s Meridian conference, it will have been mostly a conference announcement.
