Panel discussion on tier one asset issuance on Stellar, featuring developers from Brazil discussing native asset primitives, real-world tokenization use cases, and a CBDC pilot project with fractionalized assets using Stellar's DEX and multi-signature features.
A developer panel at Stellar Meridian explores native asset issuance on Stellar, with speakers from Cheesecake Labs, Mercado Bitcoin, and SDF discussing how Stellar's features like the DEX, multi-sig, fee sponsorship, and authorization flags enable asset tokenization. The panel covers Brazil's fintech landscape, PIX protocol limitations, and how Mercado Bitcoin is tokenizing traditionally illiquid assets. A key focus is the Brazilian Central Bank's Lift Challenge, where Cheesecake Labs and Mercado are building a CBDC pilot allowing users to buy fractionalized assets via a custodial mobile app. The discussion highlights Stellar's developer-friendly tools, the Token Factory demo for asset management, and upcoming features like Soroban smart contracts.
