Stellar's Q2 milestone: $3 billion in real-world assets, marking institutional adoption from both the financial infrastructure layer (DTCC selecting Stellar for tokenization) and the access-constrained end (MoneyGram launching MGUSD for 60 million customers). Developer ecosystem reached 2,968 active monthly builders, now the second-largest by developer count.
Stellar reached a $3 billion tokenized RWA milestone in Q2 2026, growing from $1 billion in January, four times faster than the broader tokenization market. The growth spans multiple asset classes: US treasuries, sovereign bonds, money market funds, private credit through Centrifuge (onboarded June), and commodities including tokenized gold. Institutional adoption follows a barbell pattern: DTCC selected Stellar for tokenization on the institutional end, while MoneyGram launched MGUSD on the access end, reaching 60 million customers. The developer ecosystem expanded to 2,968 active monthly builders, the second-largest by count, surpassing Solana and Bitcoin. Stablecoin volume hit $11.4 billion in Q2 with 33x velocity, nearly double the industry benchmark.
