Institutional finance is moving on-chain at scale. This broadcast unpacks the market data: stablecoins now settling $7 trillion monthly, tokenized assets crossed $30 billion, and yield products are attracting serious institutional capital. On Stellar specifically, real-world assets hit $3.2B and Bolts, a suite of institutional vaults, launched today via the Stellar DeFi hub.
Institutional fintech stopped waiting. Stablecoin settlement now exceeds the US ACH network ($7T monthly), tokenized assets have reached $30B in real economic value, and on-chain yield products have matured enough to attract major institutions. This broadcast from Sentora, an institutional DeFi infrastructure provider, walks through the market forces: 67 million US adults hold digital assets and 76% want access through primary banking channels. Real adoption is following—Kraken, Coinbase, Visa, Stripe, MasterCard, and JP Morgan are integrating blockchain settlement into core services. On Stellar, the trend manifests concretely: real-world assets crossed $3.2 billion and payment throughput exceeded 200 transactions per second. Bolts, the speaker's institutional vault product line, launched on Stellar today and is accessible via the Stellar DeFi hub operated by Ultra Stellar. The milestone signals that blockchain infrastructure has matured enough to support institutional financial products at scale.
